There are some sick people in this country.

Should be investigating those that were supposed to be looking after him. FFS, who lets a mentally ill person out of their control in a crocodile shed?

Serious, genuine, questions: Do we know he was "mentally ill"? What "mental illness" did he have? Do we know what level of "control" his carers were expected to provide?

Probably not but its a good excuse for what he's done.

 

[morqthana]

Yep. Unfortunately, minimum wage = minimum effort.

I know you don't like to answer this, and might even frame it as an expression of support for 3-year olds to be thrown to crocodiles, but whose ideologically-driven choice was it to cut the money available for carers?

Who's saying it is?

Is what?

So, nobody’s fault. Keep wringing those hands boys, it’ll make you feel a lot better.

No, not "nobody's fault". Who has said it was?

A "good excuse for what he's done."

Probably Tory but not been changed by labour. Look, what good is care in the community if no party is going to fund it properly?

Don’t know but I hear he had two carers and when I dealt with at risk kids, most of them came with one carer except those that came with two because they were liable to kick off violently and one person would not be enough to contain them. The two to ones were never put in a session where there were others. Ever. They were the only attenders and they paid (me) dearly for that sole occupancy of the training session.

What good is any party saying they'll fund it properly, when the electorate almost exclusively votes for the parties who pledge to cut spending on any social programmes?

Is that how Labour got in?

You need to look up what "almost exclusively" means.

 

[Mottie]

I looked up what they promised when in opposition and what promises this government has dropped since being in power. No wonder he'll be gone soon.

Well well well the first person to do this on this thread was actually none other than -----


No one had mentioned funding cuts until this point - the person you are replying to did not mention funding cuts either.

It's an historical fact, not a personal campaign.

the proportion of total NHS spending allocated to mental health services has been cut for three consecutive years.

Well, I wasn’t wrong there, was I?
