Mental Health Resist

MHRN: MHRN is a nationwide network of people who live with mental distress. It was set up to resist the cruelty of the DWP and the lack of mental health care.

@LoveDaisyPetals The book is dedicated to the awesome @LindaBurnip and the much missed Debbie Jolly, co-founders of @Dis_PPL_Protest. So many of us owe them so much.

@Rita14432652 @johnpringdns @Dis_PPL_Protest I have now heard that many from the wards closed to MH patients to make way for Covid-19 patients have been moved to other MH hospitals and only some have been sent home. Don't know full details.

I am hearing that one acute mental health unit has been closed to MH patients to make way for coronavirus patients and more are to follow. MH patients have been sent home from the ward.

@mary8kane @jillychapman @godlikemonolith Mary are these long term claimants people with disabilities? Maybe with chronic health conditions, even life limiting ones? People in mental distress who eventually take their own lives? Are you saying that disabled people have no dignity and don't contribute to society?

[Mental Health Resist @MHResist]

@johnpringdns @Dis_PPL_Protest I've DM'd you on facebook.

Am I the only one concerned over this list of disabled & older people that the government are giving to supermarkets? Aren't they a business so after all this is over won't they sell that list to insurance companies & banks? Not sure I'm a fan of the list at all tbh.

@erikacule @chessmartinez @molesteeth The deaths of disabled people due to political ideology in the UK in the past 10 years has remained under the radar for a lot of people. The idea that people should die in the interests of an economy that was never in their interests is also being pushed now with Covid19

[Mental Health Resist @MHResist]

@erikacule @chessmartinez @molesteeth One word I have heard used to describe what is commonly referred to as benefit deaths is democide.

@erikacule @molesteeth @chessmartinez I didn't send that link, someone else did. However Toby Young did attend that conference.

[Mental Health Resist @MHResist]

@erikacule @chessmartinez @molesteeth I understand all of this @erikacule but I feel none of the words you suggest conveys the reality of lives being snubbed out because someone, a Tory, say, believes that IQ justifies inequality. The death toll due to austerity is enormous.

Amid the crisis, let's name and shame the companies treating workers 'like rats' | The Canary https://t.co/YDNYJEIXuK

Michael is still poorly but continuing to improve. He has been able to eat today & will be getting a more comfortable oxygen mask soon. All good signs. He does know you've all been rooting for him with this lovely wave of support. Thanks again, Emma x @Underthecranes @J0e_R0sen

Is this real?

@AmateurFOI @AnitaBellows12
Looks as if the #FreedomOfInformationAct has in practice been suspended during #COVID19 crisis
I've had several emails from #DWP and @ICOnews all suggesting (altho not stating explicitly) I should not expect anything further until the crisis is over.

[Francesca Martinez @chessmartinez]

The poor, disabled and elderly ARE expendable in our system because human worth is tied to one's ability to be 'economically productive'.

Toby Young's view is a disgusting one but it's at the heart of the system which shapes most of our lives.

It's just not often said out loud.
