Obviously one can only speculate as details are very thin on the ground and Garragrift's financial situation is opaque to say the least, but there's 10k for the fights, accomodation, tequilla, and 'therapy' in ye olde Mexico to consider ...

I've looked on the DM site and The Sun this morning and can't see a single article about her. There must have been 20 yesterday.
Has her lawyer been on the phone
MS unfortunately runs in my family, so I've seen and heard a lot about the various treatments, both trialed/NHS approved and experimental. It's understandable that people want to seek help for degenerative diseases, and ones that have been studied for decades.re- Mexico. I have an ex colleague who has a very harsh variant of Multiple Sclerosis. She she set up a Go Fund me page to go to Mexico for some sort of revolutionary therapy and from what I can gather, it has improved her life quality immensely, so I can understand why people in desperate times do travel abroad for specific treatments. That is totally different however, to sending a dying man with multiple health issues on a plane when it was as clear as day to anyone that he wouldn't survive such a journey.
Chatting shit, as per! "I promise you I won't let you down and will harness that kindest, without anger or blaming, to try and make some real change. "Emotional Kate Garraway promises she won't 'let fans down
On Tuesday, Kate Garraway: Derek's Story aired on ITV , chronicling the former political lobbyist's final year of life before his death in January aged 56.www.dailymail.co.uk
Just found this one
Don't bother on my account love. The level of delusion is mind-boggling, I bet even Martin Lewis, another member of the ITV Mafia, sorry 'Family', is getting slightly miffed now given as he is the self-appointed saviour of the poor and huddled masses in 'Broken Britain'.Chatting shit, as per! "I promise you I won't let you down and will harness that kindest, without anger or blaming, to try and make some real change. "
This is a good point. I doubt social services would have supported the Mexico trips and may have tried to stick their oar in had Derek been a client.My friend also said he wouldn't be surprised if she rejected input from social services, as they would be aware of safeguarding and probably would have picked up on any shady/controlling behaviour from her, and that possibly either kept her from getting them involved, or had her nose put out of joint to the point she rejected their involvement.
I doubt social services would have been thrilled with a camera crew wandering around willy-nilly spreading germs and god knows what else. As you say, I highly doubt someone with a compromised immune system would be encouraged to take a long-haul commercial flight ... whenever I do I almost always end-up with a sniffle or a touch of the shits (sorry, was that too much information).This is a good point.

This is spot on. A well described, real life experience.I am SICK of seeing her pleading poverty now, she's saying paying for his care ate away at her salary....
NO ONE is obligated to pay for care for anyone over 18 or a spouse.
You are entitled to it from the government.
On two conditions - you have unmet needs.....and you have less than £23k in savings/capital.
So the reason she's racked up care fees is, because they're loaded and the government wouldn't fund his care due to the amount of money he had. Her income is nothing to do with it (a spouses income is not included in a social care financial assessment) it's to do with what they had in savings - which she's tried not to spend, obviously.
(Wouldn't be surprised if she tried to hide the savings in her name and the council/CHC told her to bollocks due to deprivation of assets. As it seems very odd they wouldn't be involved in his care, even if he was self funding.)
Most folk out there have to self fund until they literally have nothing left to live on, let alone anything to leave their families. People are forced to sell their homes to self fund too, or defer the sale for their family to deal with in death and see thousands wiped off the sale price to pay back their council.
So forgive me if I couldn't give less of a shit about her "woe is me, I'm so broke" bollocks, when she's literally in an ivory tower and hasn't got a shit of a clue about what is going on for most people who end up needing care.
The amount of money she must be earning a month has got to be more than a carer sees in a year or more. How about she does a documentary focusing on how people have every dime they've ever earned eaten away to pay for their care? And how it basically doesn't pay to own a home or save money if you ever need care. That's what she needs to do to help others, but then it wouldn't be about her, would it?
Well, those debts won't pay themselves I guess...I still can’t get over the documentary coming out so quickly. We all knew there’d definitely be a documentary at some point, but I assumed she’d at least try and leave it a bit longer than this.
So memorable they can't even get the day it was on right.Give her an Oscar for acting
Strike while the iron's hot? Faux empathy has a shelf life.I still can’t get over the documentary coming out so quickly. We all knew there’d definitely be a documentary at some point, but I assumed she’d at least try and leave it a bit longer than this.
There will be bloody hell to pay if the paps take time-out for Kate 'going to work' and miss Amanda Holden 'going to work' ... To quote the great modern philosopher 'B.A. Baracus' "I pity da fool" who gets on the wrong side of Amanda Holden.Bravery update.
Might not be too long if they keep this up.On a larger scale I can't wait for the downfall of TV. Hopefully all of these snakes will go down with it
I quite like Channel 4's output, but they are in the financial shit big time. ITV will always survive ... it's so fucking evil insofar as it caters to the so-called 'Tower-Block-Tracies'. It's so cynical. Pumping-out countless 'phone-in competition's' to win money or camper-van's, aimed at people who can't afford it. It's essentially the television version of a fruit machine, a gambling-app. It's fucking sick. Garragrift knows this and she exploits it to her own end, as do all the other moral vacuum's sucking in the money through the funnel of commercial advertising. It's a sick, sick, enterprise and there's nothing anyone can do about it.On a larger scale I can't wait for the downfall of TV. Hopefully all of these snakes will go down with it
