Psychiatric patients demand:
• Drugs that make us feel better (like those given in Barcelona, Catalonia) unlike those given in the UK which mess with our minds and make us think that we will need to be on the drugs for the rest of our lives (and may lead to 'relapses').
• Hot meals three times a day, including porridge for breakfast and a choice of vegetarian/vegan meals for lunch and dinner.
• Large quantities of Cravendale milk, which tastes much nicer than ordinary milk due to a different filtering system, lasts for seven days once opened and doesn't come from cows given partially genetically modified feed unlike supermarkets' own brand milk (which of course do not mention the GM content of their feed on their cartons) except for the Co-op and Marks Spencer.
• The scrapping to New Labour's proposed Mental Health Bill, which would allow people to be locked up in psychiatric wards on the basis that they may commit a crime at some point in the furture, and would allow former psychiatric patients to be forcibly injected against their will in the community.
• An end to the Private Finance Initiative and Private Public Partnerships which costs much more money in the long run than funding from taxation.
My name is Steve Wallis, and I initiated the Campaign for Democracy in the UK.
I have already set up discussion groups against the Mental Health Bill and olanzapine, a drug which irrationally enduces pessimism, I am setting up a website for this campaign at www.health-service-sanity.org.
