All poverty is a choice by the state inflicted on the vulnerable. Not only pensioners but the disabled, children and generally low income. This is a country where kids are taking empty lunchboxes to school and pretending to eat because their parents can’t afford to feed them and they’re embarrassed to let their classmates know. Where disabled people literally starve to death after having their benefits cut while those in charge live in luxury. Where surgery patients have to pay for their own bandages despite the NHS supposedly being “free at the point of delivery.” All this in the world’s sixth largest economy.

We are definitely in the dystopian timeline.

And the homeless people get driven out of wherever they’re trying to live, evicted for squatting in abandoned buildings, spikes put on pavements and benches so they can’t sleep there, told to move on when they’re in a public place.

I spent many years working as a carer, so I worked alongside nurses a lot. Now I’m disabled I am treated by medical professionals a lot. Many of them are very cruel and heartless to the extent I really think that’s the reason they got into the medical profession - to have power over vulnerable people, not to actually help them. (and the status of course, if you’re a doctor or nurse many people think you’re some kind of god.)

I remember once I had an emergency appointment with a therapist as I was on the absolute verge of suicide. She just told me to buy the New Age book The Secret, about the law of attraction, and use it to attract whatever I want into my life. Then she shoved me out the door, session over. My current therapist is threatening my livelihood by saying she’ll report me for not attending all the sessions even though she knows this could mean homelessness for me (it will affect my benefit appeal). She just says “If you become homeless I’ll give you a leaflet on how to access emergency shelters.” They just do not GAF.

And the worst kind of cull, slow starvation, stress and exposure due to lack of money & homelessness. Doing it the nazi way with gas chambers would be quicker and kinder.
