Tonight will be my last night as a member of a triad...from now on we drop to 2 staff overnight on the acute mental health unit on which I work... The PCT have decided that they would like to regenerate £45 million please and could they have it by Wednesday? We need an overseeing body for these people, the "people's care trusts" thanks Tone. These used to be quangos when the blue bastards were in the aut seat, but because they are run "by local communities for local communities" they have licence to be complete wazzocks... perhaps the overseeing body could be (eff)OFFPrat or something.
The day has come when women who have paid tax all their adult life have to plead for proper care on national television. The time has come when these people can legally sentence someone to death simply over pieces of paper with "I promise to pay the bearer" written on. Years ago I wrote a piece that cites "The rustle over the beats of hearts" At the time it was youthful nihilistic histrionics but sadly it has been prophetic.
The time has come for anger and indignation, but the world we live in has become so anodine as to not do anything about anything. People only become involved with charities when they are affected by the disease which they are fighting.
The time has come for us to grow up, get a real grip on what is important and leave behind that which isn't. But will it happen? Will it fuck.
