 Why Not To Do CBT- a harmful, neglectful gaslighting?  Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is often prescribed as a one-size-fits-all solution for mental health issues. But for people dealing with complex trauma, emotional dysregulation, or deeply rooted grief, it can be not only ineffective—but dangerous. CBT focuses on identifying and “correcting” distorted thinking. Yet for trauma survivors, intense emotions and perceived “distortions” often reflect lived experience—violence, abandonment, gaslighting, or systemic failure. Trying to reframe these thoughts without acknowledging their origin can induce lack of justice and remedy, shame, self-blame, and profound invalidation.  The message becomes: Your thoughts are the problem—not what happened to you. This cognitive dismissal of emotional truth and even physical pain can lead people further into deep despair. Worse, CBT’s relentless emphasis on changing thoughts can suppress vital emotions that need processing- like ange...

  Reform and the Conservatives aren't natural fighters — and that's exactly why they're needed now more than ever.  These parties tend to attract the sensible majority: people who value stability, accountability, and reasoned debate. They're not interested in theatrical outrage or ideological purity — and they shouldn’t have to be. But modern politics makes it difficult. Sensible voices are shouted down by a loud minority — often the same “scary, hairy, arrogant lefties” who believe they've got a monopoly on compassion and knowledge. In reality, their policies are frequently built on emotionalism and outdated utopian ideals. Tories and Reformers, often better read and more pragmatic, can see where this leads — and want none of it. Without strong economic policy, there's no way to fund the public services many leftists claim to care about. As Milton Friedman warned, you can’t have government programs without first producing the wealth to fund them. Let’s stop pre...

 Social Work Is to Blame for Child Abuse and Neglect in the UK Social work is to blame for child abuse and neglect due to the promotion of victimhood, dependence on mental health and big government, benefits and welfare, which keeps people trapped in a victim-dependent state encouraged by left-wing politics.  Too many authentically vulnerable suffer as a consequence. This isn’t just opinion—it’s observation from the ground. The UK social care system no longer uplifts or empowers.  Instead, it disempowers. It labels people as broken, mentally ill, unstable, and in need of endless intervention.  It encourages the idea that individuals cannot cope without state control. And this ideology is not neutral. It stems from decades of socialist thinking embedded in policy and practice. The system thrives on helplessness. The more dependent a person becomes on welfare, mental health diagnoses, and services, the more they are rewarded—with housing, benefits, and pity. Those who ...

Why Oil Should Be Confined—and Why Musk Isn’t Mad Less oil= less dependence on the Middle East By any reckoning, oil is the black blood of the twentieth century. It coursed through our veins in the form of plastic, polyester, and petrol, infiltrating not only our homes but our wombs, our oceans, and our atmosphere. It has dictated wars, marriages of convenience between dictators and democracies, and the desecration of entire cultures. And like the worst sort of addiction, it leaves us numb, bloated, and belligerent, all while the planet withers under its chokehold. It is time we treated oil for what it is: a resource too potent, too dirty, and too politically entangling to be left in the hands of ordinary people. A resource so ruinous in its ubiquity that its usage should be as tightly regulated as plutonium. Let Formula One have it—let them roar in their absurd metal missiles for the sake of sport, spectacle, and the testing of engineering limits. Confine it to race tracks, and to ind...

 This post is being throttled by facebook so here is a repost of the original at Medium: Why We Need a Better Alternative to the CCDH The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) was founded with the noble aim of tackling online hate, disinformation, and extremism. But over time, its methods, motives, and transparency have drawn serious concern. Critics from across the political spectrum have questioned the organisation’s opaque funding, ties to partisan politics, and lack of accountability. When any body—however well-intentioned—gains influence without public scrutiny, the result can be dangerous: censorship, bias, and erosion of trust. What’s needed is not just a watchdog, but a secular, transparent, democratic, and independently audited organisation to monitor online harms. This replacement body should not be built by a political faction or driven by ideology. Instead, it must include diverse voices: ethicists, technologists, free speech advocates, psychologists, minority repre...

Protecting Our Veterans Isn’t Rewriting History — It’s A Moral Duty The Legacy Act, introduced by the last government, was a bold if flawed attempt to bring closure to the long, painful chapter of the Troubles. Its aim—to draw a line under endless investigations—was not about forgetting, but about protecting. Specifically, protecting those who served in uniform, under extraordinary pressure, in one of the most complex conflicts in British history. Our soldiers were not terrorists. They did not seek out violence or plant bombs. They were deployed by the state to keep order during a deeply fractured period. Many were teenagers. Many made split-second decisions in fear for their lives. Some showed astonishing restraint. All bore witness to scenes that would leave lasting trauma. It’s true the Legacy Act offered conditional immunity to all sides, and that’s where it stumbled—because the law made no moral distinction between state forces and illegal paramilitaries. In seeking a legal ...
