people working in the so called caring industries, hospital health care, old peoples homes, childrens homes, are too weak and vulnerable themselves to stand up for their rights, so unfortunatly how can we expect them to look after the vulnerable members of our society.
My personal expirence is when I tried to help the workers at an elderly relatives care home to unionise and campaign for better working conditions. These workers who are subjected to 12 hour plus working days and are constantly bullied and harrassed, did not want help and the majority sided with the management when we began making complaints of physical and psycological torture against elderly vulnerable residents. We compiled a dossier and presented that to the police. They said they could do nothing. I was subsequently charged with assulting my elderly relative, thesde workers we tried to assist made allegations against me. For 3 months my bail conditions were not to contact my elderly vulnerable relative. When it came to court after pleading not guilty and the Crown Persecution Service had not served any disclosure they offered me a bind over, I refused as a bind over goes on to my criminal record. However after the District judge threw the case out of court as no case to answer, social services recite the fact that I was arrested ( with them conspiring with the police and care home to make these totally unfounded allegations) as a safeguarding issue. These workers who are supposed to look after the vulnerable continue to lie for their masters. The weakness is with the workers!

Have a nice day, you Tory cunt

Some time ago I attended a pro-NHS demo in front of the entrance to Downing Street, the demo was poorly advertised and only about 30 protestors showed-up. Because the demonstrators were almost indistinguishable from the tourists who gather to take photos at that spot, from a distance it was hard to tell any protest was taking place, so, not sensing any risk, who should walk out of an adjacent building, smack-bang into the middle of our demo? Andrew Lansley!!!!!!!

I can honestly say I enjoyed my encounter with this corrupt, thieving Tory bastard immensely. Even better he was also confronted by an elderly lady who refused to let him pass un-accosted into Downing Street, and, despite the honestly pathetic size of the demo, the confrontation was filmed by TV crews and made headline news all over UK and international media outlets, going out to tens of millions of people in the UK and to hundreds of millions of people overseas.

Just the other day I joined a poorly-attended anti-austerity protest, again down in central London, this time perhaps 300 people (but admittedly it was freezing). That demo was easily one conventional activists could dismiss as a wash-out or as a damp-squib, however it got good coverage on Russia Today, taking its message to an audience of over 400 million viewers overseas**, many of them victims of austerity and/or involved in fighting austerity.

The moral of the story is it's impossible to tell in advance or for sure which demos are going to be successful and which aren't, and even demos that seem to have been failures sometimes turn out to be very valuable as events move on. The thing that's MOST FEEBLE, most counterproductive and most pointless, is for microscopic hard-left sects (be they Anarchists or be they groups like Mark Blackwood's Socialist Equality Party, formerly known as the Workers Revolutionary Party) to pour scorn on and to demoralise the people who actually bothered to organise the demos in the first place
