Penalty for wife leaving you? Electrocution for a week.

Penalty for wife leaving you? Electrocution for a week. WTF???

Every morning for one very, very difficult week of my life back in 2013 I had to listen
to a real gentleman tell me over a cup of tea that he had just spent the last half an hour
being electrocuted.

I simply cannot believe that people can be so cruel to each other. And so stupid.

All that had happened to him - according to what he said - was that he had reacted badly to his wife's leaving him.

A period of recovery is one thing.

A period of some fucking evil bastard of a psychiatrist trying and succeeding very quickly to murder you for no good reason is quite another!

This man was a West Ham fan who remembered the terraces of Upton Park from the 1970s.
He was in his 50s from Hornchurch - a town that helped save the world in World War 2.
He may be dead now for all I know!

 BAN E.C.T. - Let's Begin Medicine on Planet Earth!

 BAN E.C.T. NOW!!!

Stress is not any kind of illness!

Stress is not an illness.

It is an inevitable part of life! To a certain extent - it is a healthy thing!

Without a certain amount of stress - fisical and psychological - the body cannot function!

However, stress is a real killer nowadays! Things that aren't illnesses can kill you!
Just ask a British soldier!

Anyway, I will say that I cannot imagine anything more stressful than some of what the "UK Mental Health System" has put me throo over the last 22 years of pure oppression and suffering.

It must rival in stressfulness that those serving Queen and Country in the Armed Forces must go through! For me and many, many others!

How can we show respect for a "Queen and Country" that locks people away in horrific conditions for no reason at all?
In their thousands!
And effectively murders people here in the UK itself!
In their thousands!

NO MORE!

About Me

My photo
I am an amateur FILOSOFER. (I am not really a sofa). I dropped out of Cambridge University though I got an "S" grade in the entrance examination. I eventually received a 1st class Bachelors degree elsewhere. I received A.H.R.B. funding to pursue postgraduate study, but did not do so. Please enjoy my blogs. To parafrase Orwell, I am trying to make political blogging into an art. My intellectual heroes are Kenan Malik, Thomas Szasz and Noam Chomsky. I have made some mistakes in my life - and I would like to apologize wholeheartedly and from the depths of my cushions for any problems I may have caused and may be causing for anyone anywhere.
