This degree of media silence is unusual if we place this in a historical perspective- â˘hunger strikes and force feeding of the Suffragettes was amply covered in the British press â˘hunger strikes by members of the IRA generated âcopious media attentionâ.

Work should not be a healthcare outcome. It should be the last step of "recovery" for those who are able to get to that stage and for whom it is a positive step. Employment and healthcare should not be conflated, ever... And if someone can't work, they can't work.

I know you're worried about the level of Keir Starmer's cuntiness. Digital ID is another measure to make Keir Starmer even more loathsome, making the border between him and a bucket of fascist shit indistinguishable. Getting rid of Keir Starmer would make for a fairer Britain.

I don't think anyone in the community who campaigns pro or anti psychiatry should be as lauded and uncritically platformed as Moncrieff is. Because this is the result, their dogma becomes politically useful. And I don't believe any Dr who claims GB news is a neutral media platform.
