Final Police Disability Forum Correspondence.

Got this:

Mike
cc all other people emailed.
 
I am sorry that you have chosen to misinterpret the content and spirit of my email. Following my visit to you on 16th May, we both agreed we could be open with each other. That agreement seems to be interpreted by you in a very one-sided way. In the light of your comments, I see no point in continuing the exchange.
 
On behalf of the NPA and its Disability Forum, I accept your resignation.
 
Chris Harding MBE LL.B Solicitor

My reply:

Hello Mr Harding.

A typical middle class bureaucrat's response and whitewash!! How on earth could I have been more open and straightforward? Mealy mouthing is your province, not mine.  Well let this working class disabled service user tell you: you had no choice mate - my decision. But you can bet your life you've not heard the last of me. 

Heddwch

Mike.

Hi Mike

Reading through correspondence.

From what I am picking up, the biggest concern from those running the forum was that you have a blog and are prepared to have views you share on it.

Sucre bleu!

As my mate said to me...only today..the more you speak out the more the system will try and exclude you.

When you get the 'we are not obliged to' spiel you know you have paid professionals, getting tax payers' money, to do the bureaucrats dirty work for them!

Just a confirmation of the search for a website host and my website ppeyes will be back on line. The functions are the same - as an independent monitor of how patient and public involvement in health is working with the addition of looking at how LINks will be set up (if they indeed are set up at all). This blog will be used for comments on current activities and developments closely allied to the website. As soon as the site is up and running I'll provide a link. Activities have extended further since ppeyes was taken off line (because it was criticising a government department - more later) in September 2005. I'm now active in service user campaigning and, being a disabled National Health Service User myself, in disability rights.

Appeal for Users' ATOS Stories

Mental Health Resistance Network: Judicial Review  Members of the Mental Health Resistance Network (MHRN) have been working with a solicitor towards making a claim for a Judicial Review of the Work Capability Assessment (WCA) which is the assessment used to determine whether we will be granted Employment Support Allowance or sent back to work (if there is any work to be found!). MHRN are just focussing on people who claim on mental health grounds.   MHRN are now at a critical stage in this process as they are very close to being able to make the claim for Judicial Review. However, before theycan do this, it would help if they could find stories that will show the court what sort of problems the WCA causes. So they are looking for people who have been through the process and would be able to tell us about their experience. If people wish, MHRN can present their cases anonymously when they use their evidence. Although it ...
