 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 In reality, their policies are frequently built on emotionalism and outdated utopian ideals.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 ...

 The Folic Acid Illusion: Rethinking Fortification in the Age of Genetic Diversity Let me begin by stating what should be obvious: public health policy is not immune to the distorting influence of financial incentives, bureaucratic momentum, or intellectual inertia. When the state mandates a biochemical intervention across an entire population — as it has done with folic acid fortification — we are entering a realm that requires careful scrutiny, not blind acceptance. And yet, in most countries where folic acid fortification is law, very few questions are asked about its long-term effects on genetically diverse populations. Approximately 40–60% of the global population is estimated to carry a polymorphism in the MTHFR gene — most commonly the C677T (rs1801133) variant. This gene encodes an enzyme critical to the methylation cycle, converting folic acid (the synthetic form) into its biologically active form, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF). Carriers of this variant have reduced en...

 The BH4 (tetrahydrobiopterin) pathway plays a key role in neurotransmitter synthesis and immune regulation. Disruptions in this pathway have been implicated in autism spectrum disorder (ASD)—especially via effects on serotonin, dopamine, and nitric oxide metabolism, and through oxidative stress and immune dysfunction. BH4 Pathway and Autism: Key Points BH4 is a cofactor needed to produce serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, and nitric oxide. In ASD, the BH4 pathway may be compromised due to: Oxidative stress Chronic inflammation Low folate availability (especially in MTHFR polymorphisms) GTP cyclohydrolase I dysfunction (the rate-limiting enzyme in BH4 synthesis) --- Natural Support Strategies 1. Boost BH4 production or recycling Folinic acid (not folic acid) – supports methylation and BH4 recycling. Vitamin C – regenerates oxidized BH4 back to its active form. Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) – essential cofactor in BH4 production. Tetrahydrobiopterin (Kuvan/Sapropterin) – pr...

 On facebook 'As a healthcare professional, I want to explain the reactions many of you receive when you share your stories. It often comes down to cognitive dissonance…a psychological conflict that occurs when people are confronted with information that contradicts their deeply held beliefs. For many in healthcare, it is almost impossible to grasp that what they were taught to help people might actually cause harm and even harder to accept that they may have played a role in that harm. This was a difficult realization for me. Understanding that not only were my children injured by vaccines, but that I may have inadvertently contributed to the harm of many other children, was a bitter pill to swallow. But it was a necessary one. True change began for me when I chose to listen…to genuinely hear the stories of others and consider the possibility that what I had been taught wasn’t the complete truth. That there might be conflicts of interest within healthcare, discouraging providers f...

Rescuing dozens of emotionally tortured people every day is not a profession; it’s an instinct, a calling, a relentless pull toward the places where pain festers unseen.  One doesn’t wear a white coat or wield a clipboard—no, the tools are far older: presence, patience, and the stubborn refusal to look away from another’s suffering. People open up not because of credentials, but because they sense that—at last—someone is actually listening. And in that moment, something miraculous happens. They mistake you for a therapist. And why wouldn’t they? After all, you’re doing what therapy was meant to be: human, compassionate, curious, and courageous. You’re not ticking diagnostic boxes or chasing insurance codes. You’re sitting in the dark with them until their eyes adjust and they can begin to see themselves clearly. This is, understandably, frustrating for psychiatrists. Not because they are cruel or stupid, but because they have been shackled by a system that taught them to reduce peo...

  An autistic child sleeping with their eyes half open can be due to several factors—most of which aren't dangerous in themselves, but they may reflect sensory or neurological differences common in autism. Here are the most likely reasons: 1. Immature or altered sleep regulation: Neurological differences in autism can affect how the brain transitions between sleep stages, leading to partial eye opening during lighter phases of sleep. 2. High arousal or hypervigilance: Some autistic individuals have an overactive nervous system. Even in sleep, their bodies may remain slightly “on guard,” which can manifest as sleeping with eyes partially open. 3. Muscle tone differences: Autism is often associated with either low or high muscle tone (hypotonia/hypertonia). This can affect eyelid control during sleep. 4. REM sleep disturbances: Disrupted REM cycles are common in autism. Since eye movement is active in this stage, it may correlate with partially open eyes. 5. Genetic or familial t...

  The idea that vulnerability disqualifies you from safety is perverse. It’s a cruel inversion of morality, peddled by the very professions sworn to protect. Social workers (not all, but enough to matter), lawyers, psychiatrists, police—these institutions too often treat a traumatised woman as a nuisance, a liability, or worse, a fantasist. If you flinch, you’re dramatic. If you weep, you’re unstable. If you speak up, you’re paranoid. This grotesque logic renders a woman’s suffering not only invisible, but suspect. They do not ask, What happened to her? They ask, What is wrong with her? It’s psychiatry’s favourite bait-and-switch. Diagnoses fly like confetti—borderline, histrionic, treatment-resistant—as though medical jargon could smother the stench of misogyny. And the legal profession is no better. A woman under siege is told to document everything while her stalker moves freely, slipping through legal loopholes like grease through fingers. The solution is not to plead more pre...

  The happiest countries in the world—often topped by the Nordic nations like Finland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and the Netherlands—are known for their strong social safety nets, high levels of trust, and high standards of living.  However, they also contain elements that align with certain conservative values, particularly those of traditional British conservatism (as distinct from radical libertarian or far-right variants). Here are some policies in these countries that resonate with UK-style conservative values: 1. Fiscal Responsibility Nordic model countries run relatively balanced budgets and have low public debt compared to GDP. Despite high taxes, they often prioritize efficiency in government spending—something fiscal conservatives in the UK often champion. 2. Strong National Identity and Border Controls Nordic countries generally maintain strict immigration policies, especially after the 2015 migrant crisis. There is a strong emphasis on integration and civic par...
