Dying in Britain CH4 Dispatches

[gWaPito]

Going by the preview I saw, its based on nursing staff abusing patients, proven by hidden camara's. Mainly its the patients without a voice, elderly people without any loved ones, discarded by there families, in some cases. Can you imagine the Filipino's treating there elders in such a disrespectful way? I cant. Yes Britain is a good place to live, according to a well known travel magazine, London is 42nd most favored city in the world to live with Manchester coming 43rd With citys in Canada and Oz coming 1st and 2nd. It does not detract from the fact that the UK treat there elderly in the most awful ways . Simon, i was unable to reply to your post, the thread was closed. Yes I did back track on my comment to Ded's joke. I realised I was being too sensitive, to the point of sounding stupid. I dont even look upon my wife being coloured! We are the same, we dont even notice the age difference. Im glad you mentioned it Simon, others must of been thinking the same. Jane had her 4 d scan last night, amazing or what!

I can gwapito, because Filipinos like Brits, Canadians and Australians are human beings to

I wonder if that Manchester is in the UK or USA

Yes Joe, it is Manchester UK Much to my suprise too. So You say all human beings are the same, no matter what colour or creed. I beg to differ. I cant see many Filipino families kicking there grandfather out of his home and feeding him to the wolves! Or even selling his home for good measure. I once knew someone who worked as a carer. The awful things I would be told about these uncaring souls. Even my own cousins sold my uncles home then put him in a nursing home and his wife in another! These 2 cousins in question went to uni to study some far out subject, needless to say, they never worked, either of them and not likely too, both are in there 40's. I remember my uncle being so proud of them all those years ago. Joe, you honestly believe this goes on in The Phil as much as it goes on here, I dont think so Its a well known fact that the Phil respect there elders.

yes i do, i know from personal experience of here in the UK and in the phils, funny you should mention sellings someones home , I'm trying to stop someone from doing just that. just look at how a small number of filipina's have conned members on here, and you think they wouldn't con their family?, but most are honest and decent thou

My partners uncle and auntie, Uncle Boni in his late 70's and Auntie Maria :-

Boni

Maria


Kind old couple, they had taken in a relatives boy after he was orphaned when they were already in their 60's, this boy was the bane of their lives, caused them no end of trouble until finally two years ago he burned down their home by his careless behaviour (smoking) they are now beggars and we can't help!

This boy showed little respect and returned little if any of their kindness in the 10 years or more that they cared for him. They had many more troubles before the house got burned down, this boy was just a disaster for them but they gave everything to care for him.

Boni is the last of Ana's fathers family, Edwardo died the other year and Ana's tatay died 6 years ago, Boni and Maria are left homeless now with no source of income when they used to have a little sari sari store at the front of their property.

I have a picture of Michael (the boy) as well but I don't currently have it online.

It's not all sweetness and light but in general I would agrre with you Gwap they have a better attitude than we currently appear to have.
