Therapist, working in London with an interest in Wilhelm Reich and body-based psychotherapies
Finally set myself up a website for my practice. If you are curious about starting psychotherapy, or know of anyone in a similar position, please feel free to contact me. I specialise in body-based or somatic psychotherapy, that is therapy which incorporates the body and breath

I'd ask all of you and @jcbslide.bsky.social to think about these questions:
Can we know what’s true?
Can we debate and decide fairly?
Can we hold power accountable?
If you answer "no" to those questions, then I'd argue you aren't living in a functional democracy, just a performance of one.

Still true:
*Britain is a success story
*Most of its cities are doing astonishingly well
*Multiculturalism is popular
*Mass immigration has not led to social disintegration
*Nostalgia is increasingly weird
*Britain is incredibly safe
*Levels of social cohesion are high
Don't let them gaslight you.

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.
Escalating to escalate.

Every now and then it hits me that this isn’t just about 1 inhuman act or another, but a bigger picture.
That the entire democratic experiment in America is falling apart in front of our eyes. It’s historic in that sense. Which then makes me wonder why all media stories aren’t framed this way.

Farage and Badenoch are very strongly plugged in to the new US power networks changing their country's track from a liberal to an authoritarian democracy. They will be watching the lessons, what can and can't be achieved to fundamentally alter state and society, extremely closely.

This is a really powerful piece that outlines clearly the apocalyptic fantasies of those in charge of the US and points to some strategies for resistance. Please read and share.
