A few days ago I copied a post on Facebook where Keir Starmer was attacking the Conservative government and he mentioned the case of a poor old lady who couldn’t afford to put the heat on as her pension was so meagre and had to wear some sort of thermal jumper all day to keep warm.
I imagine many of you may have seen this, as I was not the only one to post this film clip by any means, however all of a sudden the post has been deleted stating;
This content isn’t available at the moment
When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it, or it’s been deleted.
I was a little peeved that the post was deleted and left the following comment by way of an explanation to anyone who might come across the post and wonder why the film content was missing.
THIS CONTENT IS NOT AVAILABLE AT THE MOMENT, HOWEVER I SHARED IT WITH EVERYBODY, I HAVEN’T CHANGED WHO CAN SEE IT AND YET IT HAS BEEN DELETED. NOW IF I DIDN’T DELETE IT, I HAVE TO WONDER WHY IT WAS DELETED AND ALSO WHO DELETED IT?
I suppose there may be an element of copyright, but as the film clip was already in the public domain I have to look for another explanation and the only answer I can come up with is; this shows Keir Starmer as extremely hypocritical, whilst pretending to care about this old pensioner, the first thing his government does is to remove the winter fuel payments from pensioners, an action which has caused much anger on social media.
The worrying thing about the missing post with the film clip is the fact that mine is not the only post with this content that has been deleted, it appears to have been taken off the face of the earth. Now I don’t want to get too alarmist but who has the power to remove content like this across the board, surely this can’t be the work of some Stasi or KGB like secret government department.
I am a retired actor, although to be honest I only retired because I wasn't getting any work due to losing my agent when I became a full time carer to my mother who had dementia. and the option of becoming an unemployed actor/waiter at my age was ludicrous, especially as my waiting skills are non-existent.
Having said I’m retired, I don’t think there really is such a thing as a retired actor for I am still available for work, I just don’t have an agent or any connections with regards to obtaining any worthwhile work.
I have over the years done student films when there is nothing else available, always low paid (if at all) the only incentive was always the promised copy of the finished film for your show reel which nine times out of ten always failed to materialise.
I spent many years looking after my aged mother and shortly after her death I was lucky enough to run into an ex-girlfriend of many years ago and our romance blossomed once again, resulting in us getting married in 2013.
My move to the countryside inspired me to write The Diary of a Country Bumpkin which tells of my continuing dilemmas in dealing with the rigors of the countryside from the unexpectedly large number of pollens, fungal moulds and hay products waiting to attack the unsuspecting townie.
I enjoy writing, see my play Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori on The Wireless Theatre Company, The Plays Wot I Wrote and The Battle of Barking Creek both available on Amazon.co.uk and am very fond of classic cars so my ideal occupation would be acting in a film I had written set in the 1930s/40s, we live in hopes.
I am delighted to say that since venturing to the countryside where space is not quite the premium it is in town, I have due to the availability of two double garages acquired more classic cars to form a small collection the pride of which are a 1947 Bentley Mk VI and a 2000 Bentley Arnage.
My various blogs and websites are continually evolving and I’m sure that by following the appropriate links you will find something which will edify or amuse.
I have written a number of different books all available on Amazon, so don't be shy should you feel the urge to purchase. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mr-Joe-Wells/e/B06XKWFQHT/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1
On Facebook it is often the corporate originator of the video who sets a time limit on the post in order to free up memory space, otherwise their costs would keep on increasing.
Unfortunately, in this day and age you always look for some sort of scam or malicious reason for things not working. Strangely for some reason this morning I can’t get into my bank account, Lord only knows why!
I thought it was my computer playing up, but it seems to be a problem with the bank, so as long as the bank leave the money on the bench I’m hoping it will get sorted and we can get back to normal.

I can sort that out for you in no time if you put £500 in a brown bag and leave it on the first bench on the left, in the park!
