David Cameron is an arse.
He cannot state that he's going to have a focus on Mental Health when he keeps cutting MH provision, support for mh organisations and keeps cutting disability benefits. My lovely husband actually wrote a brilliant FB status last night,
I have just seen David Cameron on the news saying we need to do more for mental health. Well being one of those you speak off, one of those who was put on the edge of a second breakdown with all the cuts, and added pressure caused by your policies, and having seen the effects this had on my children, I would like to take this opportunity to kindly ask you tooff! As bad as you are, and as much as I Loathe you, I can still say I wouldn't wish what I went through on anyone......not even you.
That's compassion, maybe you look that one up.
To which I added:
Written by my wonderful husband. He (we), like so many have been hit hard with the cuts, the pressures of the policies, cuts and condescension. For those of you on my friends lists who don't know, I run a forum for people with depression, their friends and families. I promise you there is no stigma, just peer to peer support and understanding. www.dealingwithdepression.co.ukPlease share it with anyone who might need it. Having been by his side I've seen first hand how much depression and mental health illness impacts on friends, family and most of all the person suffering and any children involved. No one should feel alone in trying to deal with this. However, maybe Mr Cameron and cronies need to work out the basic maths problem that increased need for mental health services when they keep cutting them, closing down departments and cutting more and more funding is never going to work. Live in the real world Mr Cameron and Mr Duncan Smith. You'd both be welcome to my house for tea and I'll more than happily tell you how things REALLY are... xx
Not that either of them would come to my house for tea....
