NHS Electronic Medical Records Will Cause Substantial Mental Distress

NHS Electronic Medical Records Opt Out

“ ONLY PEOPLE WHO CAN PROVE THE SYSTEM WILL CAUSE THEM SUBSTANTIAL MENTAL DISTRESS WILL BE EXEMPT”

I wonder if the fact that I cannot mentally cope with the prospect of fighting with the NHS with out the risk of being reduced to a suicidal wreck, counts ? I barely have enough energy to cope with the stress of shopping in a supermarket- I avoid using the phone because of the intense distress, so called company customer services desks have caused me.
Dealing with the NHS has already caused me substantial mental distress….being disbelieved, being treated as (and I quote a former GP who became head of the PCT) “an unmotivated psychiatric case”.
The prospect of that GP or any other, having ANY ability to affect my record is intensely disturbing. In some areas of UK, they lock up people with ME/CFS. That bastard threatened me.
Meanwhile the Welfare Reform push has lead to DWP staff according to a BBC report, themselves altering Doctors’ reports to force people through months of appeals. The thought of something either being on or not being on my record affecting my access to benefits I’m entitled to, or being somehow categorised/vilified in other ways by this and subsequent Governments, is terrifying.
I don’t have anything spare to cope with this shit. This process of having to prove distress, is in itself, discriminatory against the very people who should have the exemption.

Be advised, NHS – I have already contacted my solicitor about helping me with this. I would urge others to do the same.

When The Extremists Ban Christmas The Trains Might Run

When The Extremists Ban Christmas…..The Trains Might Run

I love Christmas but I hate the stress. For the THIRD year in a row, this year, as in the previous two I will be alone. Seeing no one. Not a soul. It’s my choice. Of course it is. I mean my family are less than 35miles away. Just up the road…….oh but I don’t have a car. If I did, I’d be able to pop up on the day. Or stay one night. Come home to this godforsaken shit hole when I choose.
But without my own transport-I have to rely on public transport. In Europe, people routinely jump on trains to visit family on Christmas Day. There’s a proper service. Despite being in a town with a “good rail link” as are my family………visiting them for Christmas would mean a MINIMUM FOUR NIGHTS AWAY this year. It used to be TWO then someone would bring me back. This now makes it impossible for me. Oh I forgot it’s my choice.
I had to get up longer than normal, against what my body clock needed on Wednesday to do some shopping. Then Thursday I had to go to the laundrette at 7am….so I could rest afterwards. Friday, I had to struggle to the local supermarket at 8am to buy food…..couldn’t do it before as it wouldn’t last until Wednesday…didn’t want to do it Sat or Sun .It’s stressful even when the place is empty (walking to the nearest Tesco Superstore a few weeks ago took 2 1/2hours door to door even though I splashed out £1.50 on a bus for the last mile of the return trek. I can only carry one sports bag full, so the bus is proportionately ridiculously expensive when you have £80 /week before water/food/electricity/tv /and anything else you need.)
Despite resting as much as possible, the last few days of ‘having’ to get to places at set times has been too much. On my return from shopping Friday morning, I just kept bursting into tears. So how the hell could I be away FOUR NIGHTS getting stressed about whether I still have a front door or if the building has been set alight again? Not being able to rest as & when I need to. It just isn’t an option.
My Police force is worse than useless, only coming around after the event. So I have no confidence in their deterrent presence. Too busy on ‘refs’ and only FOUR CARS for a large town. At least being at home, I’m effectively ‘on site’ if anyone tries to burgle me -------of course if I attempt to defend myself and get stabbed to death,(as I will as dialing 999 these days will be pointless) my assailant will, if ever caught only serve a couple of years. As a law abiding citizen my life is only worth that, whereas the killer of a cop on duty gets 35years.
Hmmm……..well what a surprise. Whitewashed inquiries, corrupt Government shipping army loads of Eastern Europeans to presumably ‘prop up’ this Police State while ordinary citizens are worth nothing.
Every week, this Blair Government briefs against various groups in society-Muslims, Christians, people who dare to celebrate Christmas, drinkers, the sick, disabled, the young, the old, the fat, the thin,…did I forget anyone ? oh how about the voters , the non-voters, vilifying us all…….fragmenting what is left of our society. God help you if we ever unite !
But at least when you’ve turned this place into a substate of Russia, & banned Christmas, we may be able to visit our families.

If/when there’s Civil War in England…….I’m a Royalist…….it is the only thing we have left of value that gives us as a nation a sense of stability.

Warm Front Scheme-All is cosy for the Government while the poor freeze

Warm Front Scheme-All Is Cosy For The Government & Shareholders-While The Poorest Freeze In Fuel Poverty

Anyone on low income, courtesy of their local council will have had their details passed on to WARM FRONT…..supposedly they offer grants for insulation etc at extortionate way above market rates thus giving Government that warm glowing feeling that all is cosy in the pauper’s privately rented home.

Is it bollocks ! This scheme is so inflexible that it is a positive hazard to the roof over your head if you are one of millions who have to rent privately the worst accommodation, thanks to incompetent Councils who cosy up to Slum Landlords. (Remember, well maintained private rented accommodation demands higher rents, which have often to be met by morally- if not actually- corrupt Local Authorities

Why ? Well take a look at the form. It’s not enough that all your details have been passed on without permission by the Council. Thus inferring you qualify. But you then have to spill your guts & risk the very draughty, cold, damp miserable roof over your head.

How ? You have to give your Landlord’s full details. They get contacted. You are in the shit, because if you let the WARM FRONT surveyor in your front door, they’ll no doubt pass comment on the holes in your ceiling, the fact Eurovbitch above makes life hell by her shower water pouring through via electric cables……..they’ll contact the Council. The Council heavies will arrive, serve an improvement notice on the Landlord because now they have to(what they don’t see they can deny)…….and practically by return of post you’ll have notice served on you by said Landlord for “grassing him up”…..& within a few weeks you’ll be homeless. Oh the joys of the Assured Shorthold Tenancy(it’s happened in the last few weeks to a fellow tenants- they dared to demand repairs-no action -so reported it to the Council-now they are being served notice. Yet they were quiet, decent neighbours.)

Yet again the most vulnerable are fucked over by a scheme that is about THEM NOT US . No doubt if you are a home owner pensioner, you’ll appreciate a few hundred off a grossly inflated quotation for the installation of CH (proven by a BBC WATCHDOG investigation)

What we need .
I need B&Q/HOMEBASE vouchers for basic insulation materials that I can go & get for myself …… or a tank jacket-then I might have hot water (apart from shower & kettle)more than once a month. It’s too expensive to put the hot water on otherwise. Vouchers for Duck Tape & plastic sheeting so I can seal my ill fitted, single glazed windows would really help. I am terrified of the power my Slum Landlord has over my very life & death.

In a week the room I live in (with no heating) has dropped from 19.5’C to 17.5’C –manageable so far if I stay in bed with tracksuit & fleece(soon I’ll need two t shirts & two fleeces & two layers of tracksuit trousers just not to shiver under a 13.5 tog duvet & blankets.). The scary thing is I know in the next few weeks it’ll be 12’C most of the time dropping to 10’C with ice sometimes on the windows. There’s no point using an oil filled electric radiator until it drops to 10’C because it takes 24HOURS AT FULL POWER TO RAISE THE ROOM TEMPERATURE BY 1’C. I just cannot afford that. Soon it’ll be too cold to use my hands to write with a pen. Thank God my TV & light box lamp put out a reasonable amount of heat to take a bit of chill off (but they have to be on almost 24hrs/day to help but it masks the noise so it’s an added bonus) & the fact I can operate a computer mouse under the duvet means I don’t go stir crazy. Chocolate & hot milk is much cheaper than electricity to help build up some fat insulation.

My electricity supplier has now sent me a cheery room thermometer…….the lowest reading possible is 14’C ……..with the warning COLD-DANGER OF HYPOTHERMIA alongside. Currently it reads 16’C and falling.

You know it’s at this time of year I am surprisingly grateful to have ME/CFS- being bedbound much of the time and having days where you don’t even open your front door can be a blessing. If I had a condition where I was out of bed most of the time-this need to hibernate in bed to survive over winter would be hell.

Thanks to the internet…..our descendants will be able to read real contemporary accounts of millions of the people you & your cronies have betrayed. Your place in history is assured. Don’t you worry about that.

Merry Christmas WARM FRONT & BLAIR
