This is a terrific response to the dreadful paper written by a group of psychiatrists who were defending the seclusion of learning disabled people in hospitals.

This grim article shows why institutionalised abuse of people with learning disabilities & autistic citizens drags on. Evidence is clear: long term segregation is harmful. This is a squalid example of a profession protecting its own back & not caring about patients www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

This is spot on. I've seen a lot of bad faith criticism of the new directory, but it's just a new parallel structure, offering clients a different choice of therapy from the current orthodoxy. What's wrong with that?

For lovers of snow ❄️ I give you the greatest snow ball fight in history. In 1854 300 people including stock brokers went into snowy battle at Liverpool’s Exhange. The Liverpool Mercury reported “Hats flew away, By the force of the ball, From heads that were grey, Or with no hair at all”.

2 Facebook memories from this day, 14 years ago. Two hours between the posts. The first post is about Hillingdon sending me the details of the hospital in Wales, they were planning on sending Steven to. Bleak and despairing.

Great account to follow. A real eye-opener.
Here's a new blog post by one of the Open Justice Court of Protection (COP) core team - Daniel Clark. He reflects on a recusal hearing.
I'll be posting these blog posts regularly on here now, hoping to inspire others to observe COP hearings.

A draw. 1-1. In the first half we were terrible. Caught myself thinking "what the bloody hell am I doing here?". Dramatic improvement in the second half. Very tasty cheeseburger. Excellent programme. Had a "50 years ago this week" section & I remembered the game like it was yesterday.
