OI people fucking give it a rest bloody media types....

The last few days I've found myself getting frustrated as someone i care about is being treat like shite in the media for having an opinion.Woe betide you actually have a thought in your head and then dare to extract and articulate it......

Russell Brand wrote a book a very good book. Which i hae actually read from cover to cover. From the reviews i think i may be of the 1% to comment on something that has been read properly....

The other day the #dailyfail on Sunday published a hatchet review which suggested that they read only the acknowledgements properly then skim read the rest for key words they could twist into vitriol. They aren't the only ones though the guardian have been having a 'debate' which has been an excuse for there writers to revert to childish playground insults. Some like the brilliant and engaging Owen Jones have spoke in Russ's defence http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/oct/23/russell-brand-revolution-book-panel-verdict . Then John Crace tried to belittle it by condensing it in simplistic terms focusing on the trivial things in it.... http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/oct/26/revolution-russell-brand-digested

Then there are the people like Tim Stanley of the telegraph he's more like Flat Stanley who attempted humour that sadly he does not possess....  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/11184105/How-Russell-Brand-would-review-Russell-Brands-book.html His imagining of what Russ would say about his own book is contrived and sad trying to emulate a style of someone with a larger intellect is always going to be shite!

People who don't get the book won't ever get it. Within them entrenched is the establishment. They are part of it or at least aspire to be a part. Anyone who rises above there so-called station has to get brought down I've noticed this with quite a few media outlets.

The media can be good, social media is better i listened to Izabella Kaminska from the FT tonight at the Putney debate i didn't totally agree with her. Yes people use social media to promote goods and services and try to brainwash you but it does good to.

What Russ is doing with the #Trews and his book is getting people involved, that is thanks to social media. I've had messages off people who couldn't hae gave a fuck about social/economical problems or politics before Russ brought it to them in a non-patronising and accessible way.

Thank god for writers like Russell Brand, Owen Jones and Naomi Klein ,the occupiers,the triers the people that just want change. Without the people who don't just accept things and question we'd never move forward....

Fucking mental

The last few days I've been upset as i went to therapy on Wednesday which i fucking hate even though i need to do it. Then on thursday i got my mental assessment through the post a woman who met me for an hour and a half wrote me up like she knew me....

Miss Munro has mood swings she has 3 days of low mood and then 7 days of very high mood. On her low days she won't get out of bed and won't see anybody as she is 'awful' and verbally aggressive. She eats alot and they are the days she's prone to reverting back to alcoholism. When she's in a high mood she hardly sleeps she does dancing and yoga and forgets to eat. She has 'high sexual urges' of which she seeks out random partners.

She has suicidal thoughts and stands over the balcony of her flat wanting to fall. But she knows her gran needs her so doesn't. She's lost a few family members lately and got tearful.

She started psychiatric treatment 5 years ago after a episode of agoraphobia brought on by her now ex boyfriend. She has used prozac in the past which helped but sertaline was no use. She has coping mechanisms like CBT's in place. She has tried to kill herself a few times and has had outpatient treatment for alcohol addiction.

She has had benign lumps removed from her breast and stomach and vomits blood frequently. She has chronic dyspectic symptoms.

She is disorganised yet functioning

Miss Munro is a young women with a history of bipolar disorder with borderline personality traits. She has a history of drug and alcohol abuse. but she's been seen out patient for that. Her alcohol consumption worsens with her mood swings and though sober at the moment i can't assess her properly until she's been clean a bit longer as the medication i think she should be on wouldn't work if she was still inclined to drink.

well isn't that nice to read about yourself nae wonder yesterday i was a borderline bitch ;) x
