Housing in the UK is a confused mess, with 600 thousand empty homes. We’re seldom included in these equations.
Who will end up profiting from ‘affordable homes’ is anyone’s guess - 40% of the ‘right to buy’ council houses ended up with private investors.

I struggle with the way we’re being treated in the current toxic environment. If he can help me find the light of hope in this culture of despair; where cooperation will prevail over some bizarre notion of competition, I’ll be delighted.

I’m a big fan of hope, but in the current climate, I know many of us will need a lot of convincing.

I’m entering his talk from a place of positive prejudice. I’ve heard him talk about #RelationalPractice in the social model of mental ill-health
His talk is called ‘Relational Practice: making hope possible rather than despair convincing’

It’s almost as if they’re pushing some, ‘Please vote for me’ agenda. These are dark times where, hopefully, future people will read history books (obviously with all the banned words removed!) and scream as one, ‘What the Fuck?’

John Wayne on a horse? Keep calm and carry on? Locating reasonable distress to the absolute shitshow we find ourselves in as some kind of individual weakness is at best misguided, at worst gaslighting on a national level.

Thanks for sharing this - a couple of things…I’m none the wiser regarding what ‘grit’ is, and, aren’t ‘complex’ emotional reactions a reasonable response to the shitshow we find ourselves in that shouldn’t be located in individuals as ‘poor mental health’?

120 thousand a year - 0.6% of these cases get to court - 850 thousand reports of domestic violence every year. How does this ruling, that vilifies a tiny number of people, change that?
It’s heartbreaking.
