Spending on mental health services is way too low. People in crisis can’t get admitted as are far too few beds. Blair & co demonise our sick & cause division. They’re more than happy to allow big tax breaks to rich etc. When people are so squeezed it’s inevitable their mental health will suffer too
Heard his interview, should’ve stopped at, “I don’t know” but ego’s gonna ego.
Rest of it seemed to be, privileged, white guy who’s had the mental capacity to be PM (don’t matter what you think about how he did that job) & clearly had not even indirect experience of mental health issues wanging on.
I’ve used all the swear words about him over the years. Arrogance off the scale. I’m assuming he doesn’t include his pal Alistair Campbell in his list of people who just need to get over it. Just us povvos and plebs. Fucking prick.
It’s only natural when your future is being poisoned, flower. I’m sorry that my generation and older have so monumentally fucked it for you. I can relate though, I have been poor and mentally ill, it is the absolute worst. Just keep swimming, lovely ☺️
Blair of course self-medicated with alcohol while PM but wouldn’t put a spurious, nay specious, assertion out that people can just claim money by saying “Bob, Bob, I’ve fallen. And it’s nasty.” without professional, considered input, would he?
Imagine, if you can, being the guy who sent 179 troops to their deaths and caused many more to be badly injured, in an illegal war, and then still thinking you know what's best for the British people
