Re: Friday 29th March 2019
Well indeed Hindle,
We've reached a point where an acceptance of cheapness has become pervasive.
Because under the governments of Blair, Cameron and May it was easier and cheaper to reduce us towards China than raise us towards Scandinavia.
Mind you, my last girlfriend was Swedish and she ended up being a total bitch so they're not all herding reindeers and solving crimes while being entertainingly autistic.

Apart from the one I forgot about in the plastic chinese box that somehow got knocked to the back of the fridge and forgotten about.
That did weird stuff.

“If you don’t know your history, you’re like a leaf that doesn’t know it’s part of a tree”.
Throughout the last 30 years, disabled people have struggled, but failed, to establish a right to independent living. The nearest we have got to that is that local authorities now have to offer a direct payment in lieu of services but there is no entitlement to a level of payment which would guarantee access to IL. There is also no entitlement to support to use direct payments – in the way that was envisaged by Centres for Independent Living.
Local authority social services departments remain in control over how people access support. For all the rhetoric about ‘personalisation’ and ‘choice and control’, the process of getting a personal budget or direct payment is usually dominated by complicated procedures devised by the local authority because they fear risk, mistakes and fraud. And because all too often people working in statutory, and some voluntary sector, organisations think that they know best. Access to support has always been dominated by the rationing of scarce resources and this is getting worse but is too often masked by the rhetoric of ‘personalisation’.
Often disabled people, and those supporting them, have no knowledge of the history of the struggle for independent living. Their experience of ‘personalisation’, of personal budgets and of direct payments is dictated by the local authority workers with whom they come into contact. Too often these workers themselves have no knowledge of where the policies they are implementing came from, and their practice is dictated more by bureaucratic procedures than by the principles of independent living. These procedures deliver personal budgets in ways which do not enable choice and control – such as restricting their use to an ‘approved’ list of agencies. Too often people are still not able to choose who provides their support, or what they are supported with and when. Everyday language is replaced with meaningless jargon. Limitations are placed on people because of a fear of ‘risk’ and far too often local authorities do not trust people to use their budgets in ways which will achieve good outcomes.

There are very few circumstances in which I can imagine myself blocking Rachel Riley.

"pandering to life's failures" rather gives the attitude of current incumbents,to such things.

Re: Friday 29th March 2019
Holistic approach is meaningless jargon and far from new.I remain in abeyance with Labour if they "get it" at least as much as previously,not into the new,old thing,which is itself meaningless until clearly outlined.
