cosh

An ex-footballer with dementia who died after falling from a height had been "chemically coshed, deprived of his liberty, abused and bruised... stripped of his dignity" while in NHS care, his family said.

Ewing travelled with wedding rings, and was also carrying a knife and a wooden cosh.

Councils have been under the cosh when it comes to funding, with growing demand for services like social care, support for children with special educational needs and disabilities, and housing.

Everton have been under the cosh a lot this year and it's good to see him step up.

Australia had been under the cosh for seven or eight minutes but hadn’t conceded and went into the break 7-3 down.
