World War Two veteran, 93, and his wife, 87, face being split up for the first time in 65 years

[Northerner]

A 93-year-old war veteran and his elderly wife face being separated for the first time in 65 years because of NHS red tape.

John Smith and his 87-year-old wife Marjorie, who both have dementia, have been living together in Ravenswing Manor Care Home in Blackburn for the past two years.

But now, after more than six decades of marriage, Mr Smith faces being placed 15 miles away from his beloved wife because they require different levels of care after he suffered a severe stroke.

This post is going to sound vile at first read I'm sure.

I hope they can both die, quietly in their sleep, very very soon.
