I have suffered from so-called "mental illness", for over twenty years. Over the years, I have seen various policy initiatives come and go, from the powers that be.

But one of the things that gets on my tits the most, is this bright idea of opening a centre, and calling it a "social inclusion" centre. Getting off the bus, and walking up to it, one gets the sense that one is in some way deficient, or a reject. It might as well be called a socila rejection or exclusion centre haha.

Of course, there is no useful and fulfilling role and a place for all, under capitalism. Money comes first. People come second. Always. But what idiot in government - the great and the good and the removed - came up with this "social inclusion" label, beats me.

Politicians are like modern day knights. They assist the wealthy to rip us all off, just as the knights assisted the monarchs, in days gone by.
