Nuclear vs Disability

2,733 miles between London and Tehran.

1,325 miles between London and Kyiv

1,554 miles between London and Moscow

2,233 miles between London and Tel Aviv

 

2,220 miles range of an F35A

2,900 miles range of a Typhoon

 

The British Royal Navy / Royal Air Force bought 138 F35B’s for use with the two fleet carriers HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales.

However, it is stated in an article published in February this year, (19fortyfive.com by Steve Balestrieri), that “Aircraft availability is a persistent issue. The UK has built its carrier designs around the F-35B and its air superiority and strike capability. However, procurement delays, maintenance issues, and rising costs have impacted the numbers present. Only a handful of the 138 F-35Bs ordered for purchase are fully operationally available.”

There is little difference between the F35A and F35B, both being variants of the same aircraft.

The F35 development has never lived upto expectations, we bought into it for political reasons not because it was going to be superior to anything that Britain and its European partners could build.

The F35 was sold to us as a next generation stealth jump jet, however it really isn’t. If it takes off vertically, or goes supersonic  it burns away it’s stealth shielding. 

The planes are difficult to maintain and are not very reliable.

The F35 cannot match the F22 fighter, but the USA will not sell us the F22, even though we are supposed to be their allies.

A brief history lesson, Britain developed Vtol (vertical take off and landing) aircraft, from the trials of the flying bedstead, to the amazing Hawker Siddley Harrier and Sea Harrier. The Harrier was the most versatile aircraft realistically that the RAF and the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm ever had. They were used in actual combat during the Falklands war, and other than accidents no aircraft were lost to enemy action.

They were so good that we then let an American company, Mcdonnell Douglas build them under license.  The United States Marine Corps still use them today, and when we supposedly were mothballing ours (putting them into storage) some ridiculous British politician agreed to give them all to the USA to use for spare parts.

So the one other aircraft the navy could use off these poorly designed carriers were given away.

Sadly another (or even the same) politician removed the steam catapult capability when we were building our two carriers, to save a couple of million quid, meaning that the Typhoon fighters that Britain are building with our European partners cannot be used.

We also had Tornado aircraft that the RAF used so well, that American pilots flying alongside them were in awe at the plane and skill of its pilots 

The Tornado excelled in both Gulf wars, and outclassed all in its ground attack role. flying faster than  the speed of sound, over terrain at below 200ft.

There will be folk arguing that it was outclassed by other more modern fighters, however at low level it truly wasn’t, and it’s stand off weapons could deal with other air threats that were way over the horizon. The Tornado could carry almost all types of weapons systems.

So again we retired British built planes in favour of substandard American ones.

As for Stealth? Well we as a British Air Industry lead the world in that too, by accident more than design, the Vulcan Atomic Bomber (Britain’s Nuclear deterrent) gave the radar signature akin to an armchair.

Instead of our consecutive governments, since Thatcher’s asset stripping of UK industry, actually investing in British technology, research and manufacturing, they have given everything away to the USA. I won’t say sold, because we profited from very little of it.

Now I am not saying we as a nation should be proud of our military might and expertise, far from it, but as a sabre rattling nation we are truly a joke.

Starmer is currently telling us he is investing more in nuclear deterrents, but the one we have, Trident, is a US system, one that can only be used with American consent, cannot be aimed at the USA or their allies, which currently we wouldn’t want to do, I agree, but given Trumps irrational behaviours, it may one day be the case. We pay America rent, to put their weapons on our submarines.

So Starmer now is stating we will be buying American missiles, to place on defective American supplied planes, to be fired at American nominated targets.

In Britain today with have people living in abject poverty, yet instead of investing in our people, we have yet another Primate Minister shouting at the world, likely, I believe,  under instructions of his paymasters in Israel, in the USA, in Russia too, whilst using fascist policies to cut funding and support to the absolute most vulnerable in our society. Branding sick and disabled people as scroungers, fraudsters, lazy and useless. That Mr Starmer is truly hate crime, and breaks so many UK and international laws, and then placing the entire country in peril,  under the instruction of foreign powers is in my humble opinion High Treason.

Mr Starmer and his Cabinet of soulless creatures need removing from power. They already are taking lives, but just how far are these, in my considered opinion, corrupt people, actually prepared to go?

Will you and your family next?

 

Attempt to get MP to listen

I have just written this to my mp. Please email yours.

Dear Louise Jones MP,
You are my Member of Parliament, as I live in your constituency.
Your party, the current Labour Government, has decided to impose, what to me seem draconian changes, to the welfare state, which, currently is realistically the sole support disabled and chronically ill/sick people have, in order to live the best lives they can.
The current system, I admit, is flawed, and is actually already disadvantageous to anyone having any health challenges.
The proposed changes that Rachael Reeves MP is announcing, if anything, are further breaching the rights and causing even more discrimination towards any UK citizen that dares to become unwell or disabled than even decades of the corrupt dehumanising Conservative governments managed.
Prior to becoming ill and being recognised as being a disabled person under the Disability Act 2010, I was a senior Social Worker and Team Manager in both Child Protection and Statutory Provision of Children’s Services.
I was, and still am, on the Social Work England Register.
In 2016 however I became ill, and after several years of already having diagnosis of Crohns Disease, and Diabetes, (at the time the diagnosis was type 2, which now after 35yrs has been re-diagnosed as type 1), I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia.
My Crohns Disease also flared up meaning not only could I no longer practically due to constant pain and exhaustion, work in my chosen field, that of a qualified and registered Social Worker, Senior Practitioner and Team Manager, I lost all my remaining dignity as a human being.
My loss of career was absolutely devastating to me, even more so than the loss of my good salary and all the life choices that it brought, I lost all my self worth, and any pride I once had in myself.
I applied for Employment Support Allowance – ESA, and Personal Independence Payment- PIP, and despite expert reports from consultants, GP’s and specialist health professionals, it took months for a decision in regard to my ESA, the PIP took over two years and a formal Court Tribunal before a decision was made in my favour. I did receive it back dated but this did not fully cover the debt, that both formal loans, and family loans from which I had to rely upon, just to manage the effects of the Crohns Disease upon my life. I will spare you the details of such effects, just in case of your disposition being effected.
In 2019, my parents, my sister and I lost a 5yr battle to keep my brother supported and alive.
He – Robert Anthony Jones, aged 35 and father of Alistair Jack Jones (5yrs at the time) died of Ketoacidosis, and effect of his diagnosed type 2 but in actual fact type 1, diabetes.
He was failed by the systems that should have supported him, he was discharged from Chesterfield Royal Hospital with blood sugars of 48mml, and severe kidney damage, this was due to him being seen as verbally aggressive, though actually he was in a state of delusion & delirium, caused by his extreme blood glucose levels.
The ward staff had no training in ketoacidosis, and their malpractice ultimately led to his death, however, failings by the DWP, the Jobcentre plus and other local services made his final few years beyond difficult, and were a factor in the breakdown of his marriage, which, itself had been a protective factor that may of saved him.
This is my background.
In 2020 I had an idea to protect people that with much help and assistance of others developed into Volunteer Riders UK. This was a Facebook group that evolved into 3,800 people working together to source, manufacture, supply and transport PPE (as defined by the WHO standards, and actually improved upon), throughout the UK to NHS staff, nurses, doctors, hospital staff, carers, and anyone else on the front line. We supplied entire areas of specialist health teams, whilst MP’s, their mates and families profiteered from substandard or non existent PPE.
We were completely cashless, not a penny changed hands from manufacture to receipt.
We provided substantially more than 10,000,000 pieces (that’s when we stopped counting) to all of the UK, parts of Ireland, and even used a donated plane to supply Namibia.
I personally was nominated several times for awards, some local such as the Derbyshire Beacon of Light Awards, and others, but also I am told, for Queens honours, which, once I was told of, I politely refused.
I did with the help of my carer and best friend attend the last ever Queens Garden Party, as the founder of VRUK.
Why did I set the group up? Because after losing my brother and holding his lifeless body in my arms, I wanted no one else to feel the pain of that loss.
So now to these proposed changes, will they effect me?
I will be effected, in fact I am already effected.
I have several chronic health issues, including type 1 diabetes, severe chronic heart disease, crohns disease, fibromyalgia, PTSD, depression, anxiety, social anxiety, angina, SVT, COPD, asthma, dental regression due to medication, suppressed immune system, neuropathy, chronic exhaustion, brain fog, and several less pleasant conditions that are a result of complications or medication side effects.
I have, only 11 weeks ago undergone a triple heart bypass. I have previously had a chemotherapy medication regime to control my crohns disease. I have been in and out of hospital several times this year, including twice having my heart stopped. Every day is a challenge to me
I have no idea what the physical or economic effects the PIP changes will bring, but for me, like so many others they already have triggered my PTSD, causing me to relive in the worst possible ways the effects upon my brother of economic hardship and threats, it has made me more paranoid about opening mail, phone calls or even a strange car parked outside my home.
My depression is at an all time low, I have undertook grief counselling which ended with me being told by the counsellor that usually they get people to look at the reality of their triggers, however mine are all factual and therefore I was already a realist.
I currently am undergoing further work around my PTSD.
My reality is that I am living in a world that my mind uses my own life experience to define expected outcomes. Sadly though non of these outcomes are seemingly likely to be positive.
Any changes to the limited security we have as disabled people brings panic. We are already dehumanised by the media, and villified by right wing prospective MP’s, we live under an increasingly used banner of “scrounging scum”. It is beyond embarrassing to have to describe yourself as unemployed due to health, as people begin to see you completely differently.
So again I ask, no I beg that you vote against the proposed changes, I also beg that you recognise disabled and chronically ill people as human beings, and understand that the proposed changes are an outrageous and inhuman attack upon the most vulnerable in society, and even a basic knowledge of 20th century history should give you and your Party rise to recognising the stark similarities of these proposals and the manifesto and actions of National Socialist Germany.
The proposals have already cost the lives of UK citizens, and likely of your own constituents.
Help us put a stop to these proposals before it’s too late.
Please feel free to contact me to discuss this or any other issues on
Yours
Simon Jones

Sadly 3 days have passed and no response.

Why?

I understand exactly why a fascist warmongering PM would want to increase military spending to actual forces, however increases to the nuclear – cannot ever use even if you wanted to – weapons makes no sense.
Surely we were living in a world where deescalation was the key, but now …….?
This Primate Minister is not a joke, he is far too dangerous to our world, never mind our country to be funny.
He is a threat to all our lives in so many different ways.
Starmer is not a socialist, he is it seems obvious to me, a sleeper agent planted into the Labour Party by his paymasters. He now is in my opinion a major return on the investments both financial and likely intelligence (providing a leverage through extortion) put into him by munitions and arms companies, by their directors and major shareholders, by MOSSAD, and other representatives of the out of control genocidal Israeli government, by Russian and Eastern European Oligarchs and by the heads of African States.
I know this reads like a fantastical Len Deighton novel but I truly believe is the reality in today’s Britain.
Starmer is not an imaginative man, he, to me, is the epitome of the “only following orders” type. He likes to think academic achievements are the only measure of intelligence, and the majority of Britain’s population are too intellectually challenged to see through his puppetmasters plans.
Starmer is sailing under false colours but does not even have the morals to show his true one’s as he attacks. He has shown no respect for anyone other than those controlling him.
This is not our Prime Minister, this is a complete plant, (any definition of plant may apply).
I have no idea why I am writing this beyond easing my own conscious, as I will not likely awaken anyone, nevermind this sleeping nation.

Appeasement

His Majesty’s Government  (should be the people’s Government of Britain,but never has been), appeased the rising Third Reich of  Nazi Germany until the beginning of WW2 from 1933 – 1939. During that time millions of people including Jewish, Romany, Muslims, Christians, Hindu, sick and disabled, were displaced, tortured and murdered.

Since 2023 when Israel invaded Gaza and Palestine, HMG has appeased Zionist Israel, during this time 54,000 Palestinian people have died due to military action by Israel. According to UN figures at least 40,000 Palestinian people have been displaced. The figures of injured and maimed do not appear to be available.
These figures are in regard to Palestinian people,  the majority of are Muslim, but not exclusively,  and in addition too many representatives of other nations working to support those families and individuals through aid work have been injured or lost their lives. 

Britain repeats the shame of history rather than learning from it, it continues to not just allow but enable such atrocities to happen.

The Labour Government, if it was still truly Labour in anything but name, should recognise,  and  carry the same shame, that before was that of Neville Chamberlain and his Nazi appeasing  Conservative Government.

How many more people have to suffer and die due to corrupt politicians and their governments?

Paedophile castration

Today, the 22nd of May 2025,   it is reported that the Lord Chancellor Shabana Mahmood, is considering castrating sex offenders (as it is being reported by the Mirror and other sensationalist rags).
However,  this is about a form of hormonal treatment to stop sexual urges. It is not “castration” . So all those of you thinking a knife,  can put your blunt razors and blood lust away.
This may seem to be a positive step forward in so many cases, but would not treat the personalities of these offenders.
Most sexual offences, if not all, are not truly about sexual attraction, but are about power.
People, sadly predominately men, who rape, sexually assault, or commit other sexualised offenses are mainly quite pathetic people with no real power in their lives, who feel weak and unworthy.
These are the same people that if they have a relationship will likely be aggressive, or even the other extreme overly passive towards their partner.
They are often, again if not always, sociopathic, and believe that their behaviour is right and societies laws and morals are wrong.
They may present as charismatic,  someone likeable and affable, someone you would want to be friends with.
Drugs do not truly treat sociopathic behaviours beyond causing an at times useful level of sedation.
Their belief that they are in the right, often has other effects upon their personalities such as in many cases gives them confidence, an ability to look you in the eye with no suggestion of guilt, they can in some cases blatantly lie without the give away signs, they also often have an eye for detail. Many are misogynistic,  but that is not their only driving motivation.
A few years  ago the BBC set up Jonathan King, a TV presenter who had been convicted of sexual crimes against children and linked to Gary Glitter (Paul Gadd) and others. During this monolog documentary King stated that he believed that sexual activity with children, even prepubescent young kids was his assisting them into adulthood. This absolutely came across as exactly what he believed was the truth. He blamed society for failing these children by stopping him assisting them.
King was not someone you could describe as thick or stupid, he was a very successful music producer alongside his TV and media careers.
He wrote and presented entertainment USA along with other shows of the time that were BBC flagships. Jenny Powell was one of his professional protégé’s.
Once Gadd was convicted his statements mirrored King’s.
My experience in investigating child abuse often meant working to ensure such people had no access to children.
When we talk of grooming, it’s not just about grooming their potential victims, it’s about convincing the child’s family, any professionals and society as a whole that they pose no risk.
Most reported or disclosed child abuse is interfamilial, meaning someone within the direct or wider family, including parents, step parents, siblings, aunts and uncles, and wider family or even family friends, however, there are still significant disclosures and complaints made in regard to professionals that are involved with children and also complete strangers. These often though are the cases that reach the press and media, as even if there is a conviction in regard to a family member, due to the absolute need to keep the child, victim, survivor safe and anonymous, reporting will be restricted and deliberately ambiguous.
Due to the majority of abusers believing that they are morally right or even entitled, any investigation is difficult and problematic.
To even get a sexual case, whether involving children or adults  into a criminal  court, it involves providing the case with enough chance to satisfy the extremely high level of burden of proof even before looking at actually obtaining a conviction. Without this the CPS will not progress the case to Court.  Obviously (I hope), this is beyond frustrating to the police and social workers, as it often means we professionals may know ourselves who pose risks, but are powerless beyond using legislation such as (CA1989 – ) Children Act 1989 meaning ongoing involvement to take direct action against the perpetrator.  As local authorities we can go to Court to obtain orders such as Care Orders, Prohibited Steps Orders, or support the family members or friends with obtaining  Civil Court Orders such as Child Arrangement, and Special Guardianship,  to ensure the child is safe, however, these orders are placed upon the child and those caring for them, not the perpetrator, and does not lead to any criminal conviction of the abuser. Therefore any sentencing or mandatory treatment will not apply.
So yes by all means use this treatment to restrict sexual urges, but also we must realise it will not cure, or even in many cases restrict, nor prevent further offending
This in my personal opinion, simply is just a pathetic politician trying to appeal to a sensationalist bandwagon opportunity to gain votes. It’s not a real world solution.
A better way forward would be mandatory life sentencing, meaning rest of their lives, for all rapes, sexual child abuse, violence against children.
It is also essential that the government continue to review how much control the CPS have at placing constraints on criminal investigations, and lowering the restricting burden of proof imposed before any jury or Judge has sight of the case.
But with overflowing prisons, I believe that will not happen.
In point of fact today the UK Labour (in name only) government has stated  that offenders including those convicted of sexual crimes and crimes against children will now be eligible for even earlier release. In fact upto 5 yrs off their sentences. This again in my opinion is dangerous and enabling. Especially as these (I use the next word with reluctance) ‘people’ will not be “cured” nor “rehabilitated” and will likely continue to pose risks to any vulnerable person they have access to.


Cover up?

I accept I as a person have a few issues.
I am physically knackered still, I have PTSD, Depression and Anxiety, so there are people that will see me as “mentally ill”, some even just “mental”, whatever that truly means.
My mental health issues stem from several different facets of my life, from childhood, school, work, and sadly loss.
I am very aware of the causes and effects. I can rationalise all the feelings and emotions, I can recognise my triggers, at times I can work through, other times things become overwhelming, and the ultimate question arises, causing me to internally argue my case for being here.
If you haven’t been there I promise you won’t  truly understand. It’s not something you can take apart without being able to reference personal experiences.
The main cause of problems for me right now is my inability to ignore injustice, discrimination, unfairness and worse official or professional failings and ineptitude.
Because my mobility is currently limited, and I spend way too much time thinking, it can get very difficult.
Last weekend I ended up back in hospital. The medication I was given was beyond unpleasant. I won’t go into details but it was an experience I truly wish I had been able to avoid. This experience was extremely scary and place me exactly where my PTSD triggers, and in a potentially fatal situation. I was in Resus for several hours.
The thing is, it had been avoidable, but sadly one of the doctors, at my GP practice, misread a communication/message from a specialist community nurse practitioner.
Today I had a discussion with the practice manager, who sadly in my considered opinion, despite her position of responsibility, has few, if any skills needed relating to her role.
All I wanted was her to investigate what went wrong in the practice for me, and to put strategies in place, to prevent it happening to any of their patients in the future.
I explained I could evidence my concerns through the NHS app, and the information shared by the GP practice, through that at this point I could access all the messages relevant to my care 
However the practice manager decided the most appropriate way to deal with this was to blame me, and the specialist nurse practitioner.
She refused to take on any responsibility nor offer any reasonable or even unreasonable resolution.
At the end of the call I again went onto the NHS app only to find that all the previous information had gone. After checking with a few sources including the NHS, it became clear a GP can choose exactly what they share through the app. The practice manager it seems took a decision, during my call to change my settings, I believe deliberately covering up the failings of the GP and practice.
This has now meant I have had to request under information governance, all the information that the practice holds upon me.
I understand the administrative work that will go into this. This could have been easily avoided, I would have been happy to resolve this today, but her actions have to me brought about even more serious concerns. 
I am capable of checking and challenging, but even then I may miss decisions being made in regard to my care, some folks however may not have the capacity to check for themselves.
GP mistakes can cost lives. I know this all too well, as some are aware.
If a surgery, or their practice manager, are determined to cover up, rather than accept that mistakes were made, and look to avoid repeating said mistakes, something is inherently wrong and looks to me as extremely dangerous practice.
It is pushing me to take it much further than I intended.
Some may see me as a crank, I am sure my family do, but I spent 5yrs trying to keep my brother alive, and the last two years doing the same with my dad. Sadly my brother did not survive, but my dad is still here, and I thank whatever force/God that he is.
I now am also fighting for me to survive, 10yrs of being told no heart issues, to suddenly being rushed in for triple heart bypass, 30yrs of being type 2 diabetic to find out like my misdiagnosed brother I am type 1.
I may actually be a crank, I dont suppose its a thing we can judge for ourselves, I may likely be described as ‘mental’ by others, I may be taking on battles that I shouldn’t, but that’s my personality flaw. If you act reasonably, if you act responsibly, if you accept mistakes were made, and look to put in safeguards, then I can live with that.
But if you deny, if you lay blame and cover up, then I will fight to my last breath, even if it means I am struck off, and ridiculed/vilified.
Even if you seek to discredit me, I will fight on.

THANK YOU TO OUR, TO THE NHS.

Thanks to the NHS, the National Health Service, our NHS, our, Britain’s greatest asset, owned by us, or what is left and still owned by us, I (unlike a lot of NHS provisions and services that were without our consent illegally sold off and given away by both Conservative and Labour Governments – with the help of Nick Clegg and his band of Establishment puppets aligning with Tory Britain.) Am still here.
6 weeks ago I had a very major but hopefully life changing and prolonging operation. Open heart surgery, carried out by Northern General hospital in Sheffield. 
Yesterday I got to sit behind the wheel of a car for the first time. 
The operation will not magically disappear my other health conditions,  but it hopefully it will improve my chances and prospects of having a future, if the government of the UK allows it.
Without the NHS, without our NHS, I would likely either be dead already (given it seems I had at least 7 heart attacks prior to my operation) or I would not last out the year.
So again thank you all who work in the NHS, to all that support the NHS and to us all that throughout our lives paid National Insurance and Tax to ensure the NHS and our welfare system exist.
Remember every country was jealous of the NHS and our welfare state. American, Europeans, Africans, Asians, even now even can afford health or can’t. Many live in debt because their health deteriorates, they have accidents, or their loved ones do.
Many live in poverty dying of illness and malnutrition because they do not have our safety net.
Yet now we stand by and watch as politicians give it away to profiteer for their backers, to enhance their corruption  filled trade deals, or strip it away from those of us who need it to ensure we die off in large enough numbers to balance their corrupt books.
So I for one was given life by our NHS, and would always gladly give my live to ensure all to come had the same opportunities as me and all of us that survive because of THE NHS & OUR WELFARE STATE.
I give thanks to us all, and condemn every corrupt politicians of any party that tries to destroy it.
Jonesy.

Lemmings culture

My opinion.
The myth about lemmings jumping off cliffs may well be a myth, however at the moment anything appropriate one.
Anyone who votes for any of the main parties, Labour, Conservative, Reform, or even Lib-Dems will be acting as the proverbial Lemming.
Especially if you are Chronically ill, Disabled, Elderly, financially poor, if you have any vulnerability or are in anyway different to what the media and establishment see as British.
If you are not white, 10 generation British, not a Church of England declared follower, if you are not super rich, or in line to become so, if you are not a time served fraudster, if you have nothing to extort the MP’s with, if you cannot bribe parliament, if you are not already a corrupt politician, a media mogul, a Oligarch, a gangster, if you are not a government advisor or Lobbyist, or major shareholder in weapons companies, then realistically you are seen as worthless and in their sights.
You are to them nothing more than an eater, munching away on their resources like a slug on lettuce. All they want to do is cover you in enough salt that you meet an end that can amuse them whilst they glug on the champagne you paid for.
They will tell you that the sick, the disabled, the people that cannot work because of health, of ability, age, or even because they are saving the country £4000 a week caring for a family member, are the cause of austerity, of cuts, of lack of services, of no NHS or even potholes. The truth is that’s utter balls.
The reason we have no services, no hospital beds, that our roads are not fit for purpose, that our neighbourhoods are full of crime not community is not because of refugees, until they can prove they are genuine refugees they get nothing at all, and once they can, they have to work and pay tax. It’s not because of economic migrants either, they do work, they don’t claim benefits, and they are made to pay tax on earnings.
It’s because and solely because we have very corrupt goverents, MP’s and civil servants. It’s because those who own the MP’s, the media and infrastructure are inherently greedy and again corrupt. They see cruelty as entertainment. Remember there’s are Etonians, Bullingdon Club grand masters. They all were trained from birth to see us as valueless. Our lives only serve to measure their fiscal wealth.
Whatever party you give support to is owned by these vile creatures. All you do by voting is give credence to their claims that it’s our choice for them to control us.
The only true way forward with any chance of democracy is voting for independent candidates in every single constituency. We need to take “Party” out of politics.
Even if we do that, they will not allow us to take away their power and control. They will not accept it. They will lie, they will cheat, they will ultimately use force to keep us subjugated. But at least then we will know, we will see our real enemies and have the right target to fight against.

Fluidity of life

Who truly can judge us? If our actions are not aggressive or threatening to others, if we are honest and have empathy who has the right to define us.
If someone defines themselves do I have a right to challenge it? I don’t believe I have.
Do I follow all the tick boxes I was told I am from birth? Nope.
I was born seemingly into the Christian, in fact CofE faith, yet my life experience allowed me to challenge that, and I can honestly say I personally hold no religious beliefs, I now say none, when asked.
I was born into a working class family, and began my working career as a working class man, but through opportunity and luck I changed careers, and was then told I had a middle class career, did I suddenly define myself as middle class, no.
I was defined as right handed, and forced to live as such, but being forced by convention, which I truly was, meant I developed major issues with my abilities such as writing, drawing, painting, creativity and even music. I now though write with my right hand, do not define myself as right handed. I play snooker and pool left handed, as well as shooting a gun and drawing a bow. My right arm is predominant in strength but only because I endured years of hateful teachers forcing my development against my own nature.
So when someone tells me – if they trust me enough to do so, that they are transgender, I accept their word. They are the ones who know themselves, it is not my place in any way to tell them how they ‘should’ or even ‘must’ feel.
So I do not accept that people are only what society expects them to be, I do not attest that it is society’s right to define them. It certainly is not mine.
I do not believe that people can only be what they were seen to be born to be.
I know there will be people arguing over toilets and sport.
The toilet issue is easy, make all toilets (at least those that remain public) like disabled, individual not gender. Disabled toilets mostly are gender neutral. We don’t have an option to complain, because thats just how it is.
Sports,well given I have no interest in any sport,on that I truly cannot comment.
Simples, says Simon.

Dear @DWP @keir @rachel @Labour

Dear Department for Work and Pensions – DWP Keir Starmer Rachel Reeves The Labour Party United Nations Human Rights ,
Today I shall be buying Toilet paper, potatoes, corned beef (1 tin), frozen carrots and some onions. This can last me three days if I ration it.
I will use my electric cooker for around 45 minutes. I will drink around 1
5ltr of filtered water (as tap water is now likely unsafe to anyone with a compromised immunity).
I shall flush the toilet around 8 times, this is a reduction because the crohns has been effected by the dihydracodeine and morphine I am having to take because of the pain of having my rib cage separated for heart surgery. Today I may need to eat extra carbs due to my now, diagnosed, type 1 diabetes. On the plus side the medically induced constipation means until the laxatives kick in I shall not need to use pads.
I will need to pay for transport to my hospital appointment in Sheffield this afternoon.
I do not smoke, and rarely drink so no money spent there.
I shall not have breakfast or lunch, as that may be seen as extravagant by DWP assessors.
I will watch streamed tv if I can concentrate through the pain.
I may need to use additional toilet roll due to the emotional pain I am dealing with because my kids have disowned me, because the society you promote sees me as a worthless useless cripple.
I will however endeavour not to spend anything further today, due to the need to save as much as I can because of the very real risk that the government and the DWP will remove all of the money i recieve due to my chronic and life limiting health issues
I sincerely apologise that I was only able to pay into the system for 35yrs, and that despite my paying higher rate tax and all the NI contributions relating to my pay, I have had to by necessity had to claim on the national insurance policy, and that the money being paid to me can noy be now given to arms companies under the guise of foreign aid.
Yours in fear of retribution
