Resistance is Futile Earthlings, Socially Exclude yourselves

I noticed from my Flickr account today that Resistance ,the above pic linked to the Justice for Surrey & Borders Partnership NHS Trust Garden Centre Workers Campaign blog, rather than my photographs had had the most single viewings which left me with mixed feelings really.

The viewing figures showed that a lot of people cared about Surrey and Borders exploiting their own service users but it also told me that Dr Bob Groves and his allegedly world leading employment team at the Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health are never going to socially include me as a photographer no matter how much employment focussed Cognitive Behavoiral Therapy they lash out on me.

In fact I asked another member of the SCMH team , Professor Jenny Secker for information on how a friend of mine , a fellow MH service user and really good artist could get help training to be an art therapist. Her mum asked me to as a favour.

I didnt even get an answer from, Secker! who, when it suits her, claims to have MH issues herself..

So there you have it, the Surrey & Borders Partnership Trust draws public attention to itself through exploiting its disabled workers and the Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health team along with MCCH and the other MH charities involved talk up work and training and social inclusion but beyond training people to be ' Trolley Wallies' in Sainsbury's most of these claims are politically correct hot air paid for out of the public purse.

SCMH and MCCH are on a nice little earner though - no consequences for badly screwing things up even - and even Surrey & Borders Chief Executive Fiona Edwards can get her hubby's firm SOFTOOLS some cushtie work and/or free advertising behind the scenes even though SOFTOOLS claims to have improved efficency , performance and best practice at Surrey & Borders is clearly a load of baloney .


This pair certainly seem to have Socially Included themselves though!!!.


Then there's the well paid freelance consultancy work for Chris Carter, apparently SABP's Interim Director of Communications, who didnt even hang round long enough for the ink on the cheque to dry let alone to talk to SABP's critics as she promised to do at the pre AGM Board meeting last year.

Throw in some meaningless and unlawful consultation stage managed by Surrey & Borders and SCMH's unscrupulous managers and suddenly Social Exclusion starts looking more and more attaractive to this official top down corrupt web of exploitation, backhanders and lies?
