Lily Allen hits out at NHS cuts as she tells of daughter’s agonising wait in A&E after she was impaled on a railing in horror accident

Source: The Sun

Singer Lilly Allen talks about her daughter having to endure an agonising wait after being impaled by a railing on her neck. Lily Allen was told that the ambulance would take around 30 minutes to arrive; she told the news article that her daughter had fallen outside of the house and split her chin on the railing. “I called an ambulance and they said it would take half an hour. She says,  “It was a huge gash in a two year olds neck. 
“At the hospital I asked: ‘where’s A&E for my daughter? They replied: ‘Just take a ticket and take a seat’. “My daughter had a hole in her neck. You can’t hold it against the doctors and nurses, it is not their fault.”

Lily Allen then went on to talk about how the NHS has changed so much over the years, she states how when she had her baby the midwife would come to see her everyday, but since the cuts they rarely visited her.

I chose this story because the NHS cuts have become a big issue for the UK recently. The reason that there have been cuts on the NHS is due to the recent decision to take the UK out of the EU resulting in the value of the pound decreasing. 


This article is a representation of issues including neglect and NHS cuts.

"They told me to go jump off a bridge and kill myself': Plus-size model who shed 240LBS reveals she's been sent DEATH THREATS from 'fat activists' who are angry about her weight loss"  The source of this article is the Daily mail Plus-size model Rosie Mercado who lost 240lbs and had recently weighed 410lb said she was targeted by 'fat activists' who told her to kill herself after her She lost a sugnificant amount of weight.  fat activists are people that feel strongly against weight loss. which in my opinion I think its a little bit extreme because the media usually encourages people to live a healthy lifestyle by eating healthily and by exercising, so to here that there are people out there that are against weight loss is quite bizarre to me.

London zoo gorilla broke enclosure glass twice before escape I recently found this story from the Guardian about a gorilla called kumbuka that escaped the enclosure at London zoo on Thursday evening it was reported that he broke out of his area and was later tranquillised by the vets and was brought back to his area. It has been reported that the london zoo have said that they are going to carry out a full investigation which has been described as a minor accident. Sources have stated that the cage door was left open. I chose this story because I usually here about animals escaping the zoo in movies and to here that a real life zoo animal escaped the zoo is quite astonishing. I also think that the zoo keepers should be more careful and should make sure that they close the cage, luckily for them no one was hurt.
