The UK is one of the most unequal developed countries. The super-rich have taken huge amounts of wealth and power at our expense. It's time to do something about it: people in more equal countries live longer, healthier, happier lives in stronger communities. We can do that here!
A graphic reading "The richest 10% hold 57% of the wealth and the poorest 10% less than 5%. Let's do something about it."

My upcoming book uses original research to reveal how the chemical imbalance theory of depression was weaponised by Pharma, aided by the medical profession, to change the way we think about ourselves and what it means to be human

Survivors against PD #StopSIM @survivorsnotpd.bsky.social · 27/11/2024
Telling someone who has and is surviving #CSA or sexual abuse that their personality is disordered, is wrong and unethical. #TraumaNotPD This diagnosis is like a red flag to all mental health and social care workers - it means we are hated and suspected before we even get near a service.

The chemical imbalance theory of depression is fundamental to how we think about depression and emotions now. It is the basis for the idea that they can be treated by drugs (e.g. antidepressants). But it is not supported by evidence, as people had been led to believe.
