Christmas is a time to think about families

Video from Children Matter


Please spare some thoughts this Christmas for the heart broken families who aren't able to be together to share love and hugs for whatever reason. Think of the children who have put Mummy and Daddy at the top of their Christmas list as their most wanted wish for Christmas.

Social Services needs and overhaul to stop them traumatising children and their families

Social Services in UK is more like a Social Enforcement. It's certainly no longer a service to help people. Parents are treated like their enemy.

I hope Ian Josephs doesn't mind me copying his comment from
https://researchingreform.net/2019/07/18/have-your-say-inquiry-into-childrens-social-workers/?unapproved=75598&moderation-hash=db038609708260af8a43e263eeef0738#comment-75598

The “SS” ( 12/10/2018 Barnsley Chronicle) Judge Moore compared Social Services to the Nazi “SS” !
He said “Social services were like the SS of Nazi Germany. They’re literally the SS in their name, and their manner of working is somewhat draconian.”
WHAT OTHER JUDGES SAY :-
1: Lord Justice Thorpe said There is nothing more serious than a removal hearing, because the parents are so prejudiced in proceedings thereafter.
2: Lord Justice Wall (the former Senior family court judge) said that the determination of some social workers to place children in an “unsatisfactory care system” away from their families was “quite shocking”.
3: In a separate case on which Sir Nicholas Wall also sat, Lord Justice Aikens described the actions of social workers in Devon as “more like Stalin’s Russia or Mao’s China than the West
The podcast and transcript from the Debate that was held on 24 November is now on the Family Justice Council website. Please see the link below.

Maggie Mellon, British Association of Social workers; Ex-Vice Chair says:-
http://www.communitycare.co.uk/2016/02/19/parents
“I believe that suspicion of parents and of families has become corrosive, and is distorting the values of our profession.
For the last 20 plus years the number of investigations or assessments into families suspected of child abuse has climbed steadily upwards and now accounts for one in 20 families in England and Wales !!!

For People Suffering from Hidden Disabilities

For my friends suffering from hidden disabilities; You can pick these Hidden Disability Lanyards up for free from the customer service counters at certain Tesco and Sainsbury shops but if you don't live near one of these shops or if your disability prevents you obtaining one from the service counter then you can buy them online from this supplier.



In case you haven't heard of them: The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower scheme. Not all people with hidden disabilities require assistance. But if you do, wearing the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Lanyard discreetly indicates that you need additional support or just a little more time.



The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Lanyard has been purposefully designed to act as a discreet sign that the wearer has a hidden disability and requires additional assistance. It has become the established symbol for hidden disabilities in the UK and has been successfully introduced to several major UK airports, supermarkets, railway stations and sports venues.



Let your friends know to help spread awareness of hidden disabilities.

A Tale of Bribery, Racketeering, and 28,000 Deaths

There are so many reasons to keep the NHS from being privatised; Here is just another one when a health system is based on profit rather than care.

 Insys Files for Bankruptcy

Fentanyl-peddler Insys Therapeutics (INSY) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy just days after agreeing to pay the Department of Justice $225 million for its part in the ongoing opioid crisis.

The bankruptcy filing comes on the heels of a guilty plea, in which Insys admitted to five counts of fraud and bribing doctors to prescribe their dangerous opioid Subsys. (As well of two counts of being two-dimensional white-collar villains from a bad student film.)

Subsys is an oral spray developed for cancer patients that contains fentanyl — an opioid 100 times stronger than morphine. Just 3 milligrams of fentanyl can cause an overdose, compared to 30 milligrams of heroin. In 2017 alone, more than 28,000 U.S. citizens died of fentanyl overdoses.

For their part in the scheme, a federal jury in Boston found Insys founder John Kapoor and four former Insys execs guilty of racketeering (which sounds a lot better than “killing a whole bunch of people for money”).

Between 2012 and 2015, while Kapoor was chairman, Insys used fake “speaker programs” to bribe doctors to prescribe Subsys to patients in dangerously high doses, even if they didn’t need it.

The company also neglected to tell insurance companies just how dangerous the drug was, so they would cover the $10,000/month cost of a Fentanyl prescription.

Is The Mainstream Igniting Pedophilia With ‘Victoria Secret’-Style Lingerie Show Featuring 5yo Girls? – Collective Evolution

Is The Mainstream Igniting Pedophilia With ‘Victoria Secret’-Style Lingerie Show Featuring 5yo Girls? – Collective Evolution: The latest movement within media and Hollywood pop culture seems to be an agenda to normalize pedophilia and the sexualization of children. The latest example of this was a fashion show that many feel crossed the line from – with scantily clad girls, who appear to be as young as five-years-old, walking the runway in a Victoria’s Secret–style show.

Google are too big for their boots. Time to find something better!

As if controlling what we can and can't see on Youtube and Google search wasn't enough, now Google what to control what we can and can't see with our web browser! Who the hell do they think they are? Thankfully there are other perfectly good web browsers to use. I have switched to Firefox. I tried Opera but it has a few licensing issues that prevent certain pages from working properly.

Another Local Man Takes His Life. There's Not Enough Help in Wales.

When you ask for this kind of help here you are constantly turned away, and even told that "there's nothing wrong with you because you're working". If you're lucky enough to get to see a mental health professional then you are told the waiting list to see a psychiatrist is at least eighteen months. There is a severe shortage of psychiatric nurses in this area.

So don't get out your rope or tablets just yet, don't book the taxi to the Cleddau bridge, hang in there for eighteen months or so and you may get some help! Anyone suffering from a severe mental illness knows that each and every day is a struggle. Being told to wait eighteen months could just put the nail in their coffin.

I feel so sad for this man's family :-(

Now Aldi are pulling the con trick!

What do you do with your left over out dated fruit? Simple, just put one of the out of date pieces into a pack of current fruit. Get full money for that old rotten fruit! I expected it from Tesco but Aldi never used to do this. Aldi is going downhill. No longer stocking some of my favourite food (balsamic vinegar for one), and often being out of stock of other things. They recently had a complete re-vamp in Haverfordwest and now seem to be gearing towards the ready meals market. Where do I go for my shopping now?

Surf Conning the Public

These companies are so careful to tell us when they are putting extra into the containers but so sneaky when they are reducing the quantity of the contents, even using the same sized container.

Over-flowing Bins In Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire



When rubbish bins are over-flowing, it shows that the people are trying to use the bins but not enough space is provided to accommodate the rubbish.

Pembrokeshire is a holiday destination and a coastal wildlife reserve loved by all the people who live here, and all the visitors that come to enjoy the area.

Would the council please show that they love the area, too?

Know Your Rights - Universal Declaration of Human Rights | United Nations

Unsure if your rights as a human have been violated? Here is the official website:-



Universal Declaration of Human Rights | United Nations


The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 (General Assembly resolution 217 A) as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations. It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected and it has been translated into over 500 languages.

Preamble
Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,

This must be a nightmare for Muslim women who cover their faces

What are your thoughts on being watched wherever you are? Do you know they are watching you in your own home via your internet connection? To tap your phone they need a court order. To bug your home/office they need a court order. To monitor you in your own home via the internet they don't even need permission.



This man was fined for covering his face. Is it now illegal in the UK to cover your face on a cold day, or for religious reasons?

I have been asking this same question and have yet to see any evidence of Tommy saying racist remarks.People are like sheep. They are told something about someone and pass it on blindly because they trust the person who told them. The more intelligent will do ressearch first but unfortunately they are few and far between.



Watch this and make up your own mind.

Another child stolen by the state

This country should be ashamed of the way it deals with families in need of help and support





How do we get the people who haven't experienced this treatment to believe that it is going on? I am also guilty of thinking parents had to have done something seriously wrong to have had their children taken away until it happened to me. Yes, they tell lies, twist words, and manipulate things to get their own way. They criminalise the parents and use divide and rule to their own ends. The way to fix a 'problem' family is through help and support with whatever is needed, not snatch the child and run, leaving behind a wake of traumatised family members, not to mention the damage done to the child. I know enough people who have been through foster care to know that it often isn't the correct solution to saving a child. The emotional harm caused by trying to break the bond a child has with its parents is far greater than the apparent harm they have suffered with their parents, which in most cases can be supported and helped without breaking up the family.
