Exposing the 10 biggest lies in the Tory manifesto
The Tories said they would offer personalised tailored help to the long term unemployed but the Tories hid their plans to force disabled young people and others to working for profit making companies like Tescos UNPAID (p.15) .
The Tories said they would create 400,000 work pairing college basedapprenticeship schemes over 2 years but at this moment there are less than 10,000 apprenticeship places UK-wide (p. |

I've been reading Lynn C Tolson's book Beyond The Tears.
Beyond The Tears is a
compelling read and is both moving and memorable. The reader is
taken on a heart rending journey, beginning with the suicide attempt
of an abused and addicted young woman.
Lynn describes her
experience of mental illness, sexual, physical and emotional abuse,
domestic violence and dysfunctional family relationships. We are
taken through Lynn's therapy sessions as she attempts to integrate
the traumatic life events she has experienced. There is a message of
hope in Beyond The Tears and this book is inspirational. It is
essential reading for anyone wanting to discover the roots of mental
distress and to learn about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Lynn
shows great courage in sharing her story and she demonstrates that
the journey to healing can be long and fraught but that hope is
always present.

Physical
disabilities are a clear and obvious sign that something isn't right
with a person. It needn't take a doctor to give a diagnosis to make
that clear. Even assessors for Atos would see that a DLA claimant
with a clear physical disability isn't fit for work
But what about
autism? It doesn't always manifest itself in physical form, but its
there. It’s a lifelong condition, so there's no cure. It will be
with the "victim" always. It can make life hard and a
challenge, but it’s not the end of life as we know it. |

Change is a concept that refers to making or becoming different than what came before. Change is anactivitythat requires deliberate steps toward transformation. We have to be conscious about changes that lead to a different way of being.
I’d been allowing bits and pieces of myself to be swept away. I wanted to trek through the wasteland that was my life toward more fertile ground. I wanted to take charge of my life, to be accountable to myself and responsible toward others. I wanted to change

Go f*cking hang yourself stupid cow.” Is #Clarkson humour really funny? #mhuk #whatstigma “SUICIDE” is not a dirty word! Jeremy Clarkson, what a guy! How funny he is, don’t you love his sardonic wit, and sarcastic humour? Well apparently a lot of people do and many think it’s fine for him to make comments during an early evening BBC magazine programme, watched by families, on the subject of people who take their own lives in rail suicides.Indeed when I had the audacity to say |
