I'm a healthy 78-year-old, illegally evicted from my farm 3 years ago, now living in sheltered accommodation I don't need. My health is deteriorating, going from a farm where I looked after sheep, poultry, and a herd of dairy goats to sitting in a chair all day is weakening my body. Not even a garden to look after and no dog to walk. I'm starting to suffer with blood circulation in my lags, my muscles are wasting, I have nowhere to exercise. Furthermore, I'm taking up a flat that that is needed by people who are stuck in hospital. I will have to go to a gym to preserve my health. My father was a professional athlete, I've always been active in sports and athletics. I anticipate living to 95 +, if I can get out of here.

Our King Charles needs to grow a pair. Charles needs to pu,t his foot down, mark boundaries and cut Andrew and Harry off from the R.F. The problem with doing that is it cuts the two girls, Beatrice and Eugenie off too. Charles is such a sucker, he has let them appear to be working members of the RF when they are officially not. The girls and their mother should be forgotten, leading a quiet life somewhere away from the RF. Charles is younger than I am. I remember him growing up, being pampered and pandered to. A very nice man, but too soft. His father had hoped that he and the Queen would live long enough to keep Charles off the throne, giving him only a short reign, not long enough to have the opportunity to damage the monarchy. The Coronation this year, abdication next year would be perfect.

What is old in terms of elderly people? I'm approaching 80, it's getting tough going, too many apps landing on my phone, too many pins, pass words, codes to remember. Now where is my default for x, y and z, it's a struggle to get my head around these things. Will it be all down hill after my 80th birthday next year? As a 79-year-old woman living alone, I feel I'm loosing it already, who do you ask for help? My Debit card seldom works at Tesco, buying petrol, online at Sainsbury. My son will be delighted, wherever he is, I'm not spending money.

Many elderly people don't need the sort of care we have seen in this video. I'm nearly 80 and have never had anyone clean, cook, help me wash dress or do my washing for me. Recently, I moved into a flat in sheltered accommodation, it was the only accommodation available to me. I was horrified to find a large majority of people here have someone to clean, a carer to help them wash and dress, make their tea, get their breakfast and wait on them hand and foot. These elderly people spend most of their time sitting, watching T.V., talking or sleeping. If elderly people did more for themselves, kept active, they would remain fitter, healthier and not become a burden. I'm not the fittest of people, I've had osteoarthritis in both knees, hips and shoulders for over 30 years, and I'm asthmatic. By keeping fit, being active, my muscles have not shrunk to the point where I can't get out of a chair without help. I can go out and about without having to lean on a 3 - wheeled trolley thing to get around.

Angela, I think the screen is entirely wrong, a canopy has always been used, this is a great change from tradition. The last coronation happened when I was nine, and it was great. All the peers had coronets, which I found wonderful and interesting. Seeing the canopy lifted over the Queen was fascinating, the thought of the Queen having the canopy so that people didn't see her having oil put on her chest. Naturally, I hoped that no oil got on her lovely cloths. Queen Salote of Tonga won the heart of the British people, she sat in her carriage in the rain, she said she loved the British weather, and we all got wet. We need to celebrate with the heads of other countries, it's the right thing to do, unite on such a special occasion. I am sceptical about the coronation, I may not bother to watch it, I'm a traditionalist.

Thank you for telling how it really is, when I saw the title of the video I thought thank God someone has spoken out An escape plan is essential. We can't lead a healthy, satisfying life when our lives are regimented. When those things that mean so much to us are taken away. We may be getting older, but we must maintain a healthy, purposeful life, and have our freedom, especially freedom to think for ourselves. For five years I've been living in a one-bedroom flat in sheltered housing. Don't fall for the pretty pictures they paint about sheltered housing, it has all the pitfalls that were mentioned in the video, and more besides. Living in sheltered housing is like living in a large rabbit warren. There is a main corridor with doors along it, the corridor is cold and empty except for a large fire extinguisher. Plants, ornaments, or trimmings aren't allowed - that means no Christmas decorations. All your possessions must be kept in your small flat, including bikes, items for your car and luggage. There is a small area of grass at the back of the building, about 3 meters wide, and a car park at the front. Maintained by the council, so no facilities to do any gardening. There is a lounge, with a kitchen to make tea or coffee. Bingo in the lounge on Thursday afternoon, for those who like it, no TV or internet access. The manager come in twice a week, checks the fire alarm and want's to know everyone's business. Puts up notices Don't, No, You must not. In a nutshell, we are treated and spoken to, as if we are little children. I had a farm for over 20 years, it was rented, the owner decided to sell, and I was evicted. I trimmed all my sheep's feet and still sheared when I was into my 70. Furthermore, I was 80 last December and still very active, although I could do with new knees and a new hip. Avoid sheltered housing, I would sooner die a quick death than the lingering death I'm experiencing here, in sheltered housing. No dog or cat my best friends.

I was a psychiatric nurse in the 1960s. After leaving nurses school, I worked on a ward under the guidance of a very experienced nursing sister. The sister warned me not to get too close to patients, and maintain professional detachment. I was friendly with a patient, took her shopping occasionally, she seemed a very nice lady. She had an off day, went into a rage and beat me up. People with antisocial personality disorder can't be cared for in the community. In the late 1970s, I studied at NELP and qualified as a social worker. When you're speaking out about issues such as mental health, you have to be prepared for people saying "Who are you to say, what qualifications have you got, what experience have you got?" I'm 80, and I have a 1st BA (Hons) too. Axel Rudakubana must be jailed or put in a secure mental hospital for life. He has an antisocial personality disorder, and is laughing at the social workers who believed him and were taken in by his performance as the victim. Mentally ill people are living in the community without the essential care they need. Another bright idea thought up by politician's, without an inkling of how to implement it. Covid has nothing to do with the matter.

Kelvin MacKenzie is right, give that man a medal. It is war, our country is being invaded, and we are paying for the invaders' keep, health care, education, transport, pocket money, legal costs, money to send home. A friend of mine interviewed a poor, well-dressed, migrant, in need of money, she didn't feel sorry for the migrant. Why, the family back home had a business to run and required money to run the business. The case went to senior management, the person was given money. My friend retired several years ago, when no so many were arriving. She is concerned about the war pensioners, especially those who have some savings.

You're right about the BBC going after pensioners for licence money. I'm 80, and I live in a block of flats for elderly and disabled people. The people here are all on pensions and benefits, many have carers. BBC T.V. licencing department sends, reminders, asking if the tenant has a TV or a licence, letters saying they're calling. They call on me every year. The building has a main entrance, and side doors. All doors are always locked, but they get in and find their way to the front door of the flat they are visiting. No proper notice is given, although letters are sent to say they are calling, they seldom call on the day stated. All of that for £7.50. What a waste of time and money, beside being harassment to elderly and disabled people, There is no warden in the flats, just a manager who calls in twice a week to check the alarms and maintenance.

They come to our country to live at our expense. The British people are loosing money that they paid in to help them in old age, families paid into a NHS to see a doctor and get treatment when they are ill. This money is being used for the illegal people coming into the country. They are kept at our expense. Too many people are having to go for private health care, I'm over 80 and had to pay £2.000 for dentures as I can't find an NHS dentist. Five years ago, I was illegally evicted, on a Section 21, from the farm that I had rented for 20 years. As soon as I had been taken away, the farm and my home were ransacked. All I had were the cloths that I wore. I was 75 years old, recovering from major surgery that I'd had 2 months before the eviction. The police won't do anything, they say it's a civil matter. There were no legal aid solicitors for over two hundred miles. Although I found, there were solicitors offering Legal Aid for dealing with immigration issues. The owner of the property had died, and her son had taken over ownership. I kept in contact with the court, sent files of documents relating to the farming business. What I needed was a solicitor. If was an illegal that had just landed along our shore, I'd have access to solicitors, a comfortable place to live, cloths food and a comfortable bed to sleep in and spending money. I was given temporary accommodation then taken to a small flat, there was no furniture, so I had to sleep on the floor. When neighbours in the other flats found out I had nothing, they brought me some cloths and useful things. The vicar found me a bed and some bed linen, a couple of chairs and plates and coffee mugs. Compare my experience to that of those people landing on our beaches. I found out what had happened to my furniture, it would shock you if you knew.

Hannah Chowdhry, British Asian Christian Association. The recent newsletter had mentioned the atrocity against Christians, that you mentioned. So much gets hidden away from us here in UK. Muslims taking young girls from their families, Christians being murdered, imprisoned on trumped-up charges of blasphemy. It happens in Asia, Africa and literally all around the world. Muslims going into villages, setting light to houses and murdering Christians. Priests being murdered, churches set alight or pulled down. A priest was murdered on the steps of his church in France. Christians must fight, we are being blinded to the truth. Get the associations' newsletter, the news is horrifying, Christian persecution is rife - as is persecution of any non-Muslim religions. Thank you, Duncan and Andre.

Muslims are killing Christians in Pakistan, burning churches and Christian's homes, raping women and making Christians clean out sewers. Also, imprisoning or killing priest and burning bibles. In GB Muslims are getting houses, medical treatment, benefits the same as British people get and the opportunity to study and work in any trade or industry.
I ask the Muslim Council, why should Christians in Pakistan be killed, imprisoned, raped and have their homes burnt to the ground? Also, why should Christians be treated as inferior people in Pakistan, be made to work in sewers and others do other dirty menial work? Why should churches in Pakistan be burnt down and priests killed and imprisoned?
I ask the Muslim Council. Why should all Muslims be accepted in G.B., a Christian country, when they treat Christians in Muslim countries so despicably? It's my opinion that Muslims in GB, a Christian country, should keep a low profile, and get on with their own business. Given any reason to believe that Muslims have turned against the Christians, in their own country, they should be deported immediately.

There are International laws regulating the use of power boats at sea. It's possible, even likely, that boats in French waters can be made to turn back if the person in charge doesn't hold a relevant International Boat Licence, insurance, equipment. Furthermore, boats entering British water may not meet the requirements and could be legitimately turned back. In other words, it's a French boat, it's sinking, come and get it, we aren't letting it into our waters. I knew about International Boat Licences, but I never needed one. I used to go sailing.

I have a neighbour like that, I fell for her sob tails of wow when I first moved in, offered sympathy, understanding and help. Then I was warned about her, I reminded her we were neighbours, not best friends. This woman who lives in the flat above me wakes me at night with "music", repetitive bass, frets, cords, overlapping, the horrible noises drive me mad. She has done it to other women, but not men. She drinks quite heavily and goes into rages like narcissistic rages. There is no stopping her from being nasty.

Many elderly folk living in council accommodation would prefer the accommodation these migrants have. I have a tiny one-bedroom flat off a long dingy corridor, no garden, just a tiny patio overlooking a car park, shared with 37 flats, that's about 50 people. It's cramped here, no room to swing a cat, so I've got a budgie. No TV or computer room, socializing is Bingo on Thursday afternoon, many people are too pissed off to go. Migrants should think themselves lucky, the government could do a lot better for elderly folk, I'm 79.

I'm sorry to learn that the SS aren't letting you look after Mum, what a feeble excuse. Have you seen the specialist unit, I don't believe they exist. I'm in my 70s and moved into sheltered accommodation when I became homeless. A woman living here, in sheltered housing, has narcissistic traits, verbally abusive, screams, yells, growls, swears like a fishwife, her every other word if fing or cee u next Tue. swear words. She is about 62 and doesn't have Alzimers or friends now. She was banned from the Coop shop for threatening to stab an assistant and cut her up into little pieces. Furthermore, she claims to have been in jail for 7 years for attempted murder. While in jail, she says that she was friends with Rose West and Myra Hindley. If specialist units were available, the woman living here should have been in one long ago. Good luck, I hope you can get Mum back.
