In 2014, at the Labour Party conference, my dad, Harry Leslie Smith, gave, perhaps, the best speech by a non-politician- about why public healthcare is the bedrock for a functioning democracy and society.
I was pleased to see that The London Economic shared your father's moving speech on Facebook earlier today, John. It's not surprising that the establishment is scared that, no matter what they may do to try to erase him from history, his message and his books are still there as a warning to all of us who have never known life without the NHS. Thank you for continuing to keep his legacy alive.
The privateers have destroyed what was the nhs now. We will never get it back to the way it was when we were kids. I attempted suicide last month they saved me, that part works. I didn’t want to be saved. But the mh services for adult diagnosed autistics is a privatised BS. System of bullying and gatekeepers not listening to our needs. The gps are running 3 practices and sending distressed people to the wrong places or the clinic is shut on appointment days. I don’t drive. I’m in a village, no taxis for 45 mins usually so we miss appointments when the rubbish bus services no show. Everyone judging everyone. Drs as in GPS have turned their backs for their phe privateering tory donating ex US health insurance CEO 🤣🤣 it’s finished the rot is through it like a stick of rock.?MH just passed us to charities who aren’t trained in adult diagnosed adhd and autism and I have the physical too. The whole thing is an extension of the Tory DWP gate keeping nightmare. I really let rip in my psychologist the other day and he didn’t like my home truths do I don’t have one now. I’ll be paying for a PA out my pip when I get out into a bungalow which is another nightmare situation I’m having. YHN doesn't post pictures of those, so we can’t even make informed bids if they are suitable I need kitchen bench space as bending is a problem I get told a 3 cupboard kitchen is suitable. I have 11 cupboards and they are all used. I use air fryers, grills, microwave and large combi pc pots a kettle. Where am I supposed to put them. I bought these from pip to make it so I don’t need to bend. Now I’m told I have to stay here or take it or wait til someone else takes it. I know I’m entitled to 3 viewings but they were trying to pretend I wasn’t. My support worker hates me cos I stand up to them. It was also in the same bus situation. No local shops. I don’t drive. I’m sick of struggling. I can’t take the pain killers due to side effects.
Thanks John. Harry is more than a memory to those who met him, heard him speak or reads his words in your blog. The struggle continues!
I know with regular people the memory is there. But with the powers that be, he must be erased b/c it doesn't jive their mind set.
