The now “all White” staff took exception to my father’s daughter in law being “Chinese” – and his two grand daughters being of mixed heritage. As old and disabled as he is, my father would get up, wash, get dressed, and order a taxi to my mother’s home to see us (here, my father expressed the will-power that saw his father land in the first wave of British troops on D-Day – and survive) – as he did not want Gee, Mei-An, or Kai-Lin subjected to the normalised racism that was now rampant in the home. As my father stood his corner – a semi-paralysed man in his 80s – the Manager of Hadleigh Court issued him with an Eviction Order – laughably asserting that he is “racist”! Recently, on a routine hospital check – the Manager of Hadleigh court refused for my father to be allowed back into the home. Hadleigh Court was assisted in this by the equally corrupt Torbay Social Services – so nothing new there. As a result of all this, my father is in Torbay Hospital with Social Services refusing to let other care homes take him – as we are a family “prone to complaining”! And that is where things stand. South Devon is a fairly backward area and so the impoverished masses are easily controlled by a few rich people and their Authoritarian lackeys. They do not like the workers standing up to their oppression – but standing up to oppression is what we do best. Do not allow your loved one to be plunged into the dungeon that is Hadleigh Court under this current Manager and staff regime. Hit the capitalists were it hurts – in the purse. It is the only pain that matters to them – as they do not care about the very real pain that their greed and racism inflicts on us. Still, we do not want sympathy from others – as we are all in the same boat – and we certainly do not want your money. We, instead, express our solidarity to every worker who is currently suffering oppression and violence at the hands of the capitalists – an oppression that has not been reduced under the rule of a right-wing Labour government. My mother – Diane Wyles – who is in her late 70s, is bravely fighting a rear-guard action against the corruption of the UK Authorities. Whave each other – tha is all that matters!
