In a post on Facebook, she wrote: “Our hearts are broken and we need to share this..

“Our autistic son has been treated so unfairly, and we feel deeply let down.

“For over four years, he’s been doing work experience at Waitrose and Partners store in Cheadle Hulme.

“Every week, for two full mornings, he worked so hard – emptying four or more cages of stock, stacking shelves, and helping wherever he could.

“He loved it there. The shop staff were absolutely amazing with him and made him feel part of the team.

“Many of them would say things like, “You work harder than some people who are paid to work here.

“He gave over 600 hours of his time – purely because he wanted to belong, contribute, and make a difference.

“When we asked if there was any chance he could be offered just a few paid hours – not as charity, but as recognition for all the time, effort, and heart he’s given – we were shocked by how dismissive and cold the response was.

“The manager said, “We can’t just let him do his thing,” when that’s exactly what he’s been doing successfully for years.”

She continued: “After everything he’s done, there was no apology, no thanks, and no recognition for his commitment. Just silence.

USSR: The Legal Status of Foreign Workers! (13.10.2025)

The above Soviet laws explain how a Socialist State behaves toward those unknown or unfamiliar individuals who enter into its socio-economic (geographical) space. Soviet law founded by Lenin and Stalin should be studied and put into practice wherever we live – regardless of what economic system we have to live within. This is the power we all possess. The capitalist system can do whatever it wants in the outside world (until we over-throw it) – but it cannot alter the inner terrain of our minds – if we choose to arrange it in a certain orientation. We do not have hate we choose not to. We can all be Socialist and Communists “here and now” – and do not have to rely on any external entity.

A spokesperson for ZSL told the BBC that the past year had been particularly challenging for UK tourism and the global conservation sector.

They added that the organisation had also been affected by the increase in employer National Insurance contributions earlier this year.

The spokesperson said: “ZSL, whose income is partially generated by visitors to its zoos, has seen the impact of decreased consumer confidence on visitor behaviour, with guests spending less this summer.”

They pointed to the Great Britain Tourism Survey, which found domestic tourism was down by 8% in spring 2025 compared with the previous year. The decline was attributed to “increased cost-of-living and weaker consumer confidence” in the UK economy.

London Zoo – which celebrates its 200th anniversary in 2026 – also felt the impact of the Covid pandemic.

“A generation once thought to be safe from our housing crisis is now increasingly being swept up in it and at real risk of homelessness,” it concludes.

Francesca Albanese, executive director of policy and social change at Crisis, told Sky News: “Most people are thinking they will go into later life with savings and security, and actually the cost of housing alongside lower wages is meaning that for lots more people that just isn’t an option.”
