Fresh from the weekend news that I won't be available for tomorrow's meeting with my favorite local charity and will have something to contribute to this weeks debate on detention without trial my Occupational Therapist/Social Worker has summoned me in for an emergency meeting tomorrow afternoon.
This will be an extra special meeting because it will also be attended by a psychiatrist. Now why I would like to think that he will be there to congratulate me, pay me a large sum of money and offer his professional opinion of how to effectively encourage certain elements to take the only course of action available to them. More realistically however I suspect he will be brought into carry out a mental health assessment of me which will no doubt conclude that I need to be detained under the mental health for a more accurate assessment which is a bit of a shame because I've played that game before and it's hard work and given the pressure on beds it's means I'll be needlessly taking up a resource that could be more effectively deployed elsewhere.
So if you don't hear from me for a couple of days you know why.

My last post clearly hit a nerve.
As soon as it was published the neat of convergence of several suicide stories in the media suddenly burnt out with an intense ferocity.
My favourite of these stories was the tale of a woman with MS who has launched a high court case to win the right to die by assisted suicide rather then choking to death. I don't think she'll be very successful because choking to death is almost something of an aspiration for the British Establishment.
The rest of the evening the seemed to following something of a well recognised pattern;
First there was anger as my father gave me one his stern metaphorical talking too's which actually included him using the phrase "When in Rome you should do as the Romans do" to which the only obvious response was "What engage in orgy of ego driven self-destruction which will only end in the fall of an Empire?"
Then there was denial when the Zimbabwe story became attached to the recurring phrase "Charities say ordinary people will suffer". This couldn't possibly be in reference to my charity because that would force us to believe that either all the scientific research, the governments policy and the establishment policy on the subject is wrong or in fact the Charities opinion doesn't really matter for shit.
Then there was depression as an Israeli minister made a strong statement calling for an attack on Iran and the world oil price made it's largest single day jump in a very long time.
Next there was bargaining as access to pornography was turned back at just the same time an opportunity to assist those who seem intent on destroying me and my friends was presented. When I failed to take it the pornography disappeared.
Finally there was acceptance as the pronography was turned back on although sadly at that point I didn't really care it's just nice to know things are not being withheld.
Today however has been a new day and despite the headlines that are clearly trying to convince someone change for the better is coming the minions have once again decided themselves that despite all evidence to the contrary a kicking contest is the way forward. Really you have to marvel at the strength of their never say succeed attitude.

Well that's been a busy 15 hours so I'm here posting again.
The main thing I did today was was to phone up that non-governmental charity organisation to arrange a date for me to go and submit evidence to the investigation that already reached it conclusion on June 2nd.
Personally I'm a bit of a loss to see how the result of an investigation which failed to interview one of the three key witness could ever produce a result which is in anyway accurate but these people clearly have my best interests at heart so I phoned up the person arranging the investigation, incidentally she's also one of only three witnesses. I was hoping to tell her I would not be available on the suggested date of June 10th and we would need to arrange another one as June 10th is the date the Counter-Terrorism Bill 2008 is scheduled to be debated in Parliament although I suspect that is about to be changed.
Sadly though the woman in question, let's call her Cara was suddenly unavailable for a conversation she had herself requested. I would like to think that is because she and the other members of the board are now hurriedly shredding paper in an attempt to strike the results of the erroneous June 2nd meeting from the record. More realistically though suspect they've taken the news that they aren't quite the kings of the castle they thought they were like a kick in the balls and need a day to recover their egos before launching into yet another violent attack. Either that or they were all busy spending more of the councils money to boost their rather weak local PR exercise but that's pretty much the same thing really.
The other interesting issue of the day is yet another horror story coming out of Zimbabwe. This time the story is that Mugabe has told Non-Governmental Organisations to stop handing out food aid and thousands of people will now starve because of it.
This is nonsense because the human body can cope for a full six weeks without any food and Zimbabwe goes to the polls in just three weeks so it is highly unlikely that anyone, even the weakest will starve to death.
What the ban does mean though is that it will place restrictions on the movement of members of these mainly western Non-Governmental Organisations preventing them campaigning for the MDC. This is a reasonable constitutional concern because western governments have very strict rules to prevent foreign agencies intervening in their electoral process and I see no reason why Zimbabweans shouldn't be afforded the same protection especially as fat, white, American lesbians have this nasty habit of leading "spontaneous" protests of Zimbabwean women against the Mugabe regime.
Obviously these oh so easy to refute "horror stories" are being brought to my attention by MI6 in the hope that I will challenge them here on the Internet both making myself unpopular and convincing Mugabe that he has a friend in the west lulling him into a false sense of security.
I have to say that is a very good plan because it is in fact my plan, the one I instigated back in April 2008. Problem was that with MI6's mental light bulb glowing ever more dimly they called a halt to my plan and blew me out of the water. Now of course they've had two months to think it through and realise that yes my plan was good and their plan was shit they're trying to put it into place themselves. Sadly though two months have passed, the game has changed and they recently sent me a letter that my plans are not needed and they'd much rather continue in a kicking contest.
As the world can change in the blink of an eye or the stroke of a key the second I press enter to post this MI6 will change their tune and state that all of the above was in fact a feint and their real plan was for me to say all this so they could induce paranoia in the Mugabe regime which is strategically odd because when Mugabe's regime gets paranoid it gets violent and I think he's well aware he has very little to worry about.

Well the telephone gods are pissed of with me.
Sorry for the old two posts in one day but when a company your father had done a lot of business with in the past starts giving you silent phonecalls at 10pm clearly certain sections of the community are finding are the pace of the game slightly beyond them.
In the interests in finding out exactly what their problem is I think it's only fair I reveiw the major news stories of the day.
The first of which is a statement by the head of the British army who feels that traffic wardens are better treated then soldiers because by his working out soldiers get paid around £13,000 per year and traffic wardens get £17,000 per year. This comes as news to me because when I was working as a traffic warden I was getting paid just under £13,000 per year and that was based on a 70 hour week where I was paying higher rate tax and having to pay my own rent, pay my own food bills, pay my own gas bills and pay my own electricity bills, something you don't have to do if you're living in barracks. Also I do honestly think that I can statistically argue that more people have been shot on the streets of London then they have in the airport barracks at Basra.
I do think it is more important though to point out that the young lady from my previous post is getting paid just under £20,000 per year based on a 9-5 Monday to Friday.
The other major story of the day is that UK and US diplomats have been detained in Zimbabwe. The UK and US government have blown up a load of steam about how Mugabes repressive regime is breaching the Vienna convention. Zimbabwe's government has responded by stating that the diplomats detained were in fact distributing election material for the opposition. Given of the tone of the UK and US government denial of that statement I can only conclude that behaving undiplomatically and campaigning for the MDC was exactly what those diplomats were doing. Sorry if that's unpopular but that's my honest opinion.
Also I've received a letter from that rather suspicious charity informing me that they voted on my compliant on June 2nd and they wish to "discuss their findings with me". This does not bode well because if their vote was fair and accurate there is no need for further discussion they merely need to issue a letter of apology and sign a cheque to settle the issue of defamation out of court.

Just out of interest how do you know when your government wants you to kill someone?
I only ask because as you may know by now, I think I've mentioned it once or twice I have this little situation with an unfortunate young lady and a rather ineffective local charity organisation. As this situation was the results of an ill-conceived plan by someone not in full possession of the facts it is clearly not working. It is not working for me, it is not working for the government, it is not working for the organisation and it is not not working for the young lady concerned.
Obviously then this situation cannot be allowed to carry on for much longer. Sadly though due to limitations placed upon me the only way I can envisage me resolving this situation is through a quick, clean kill. As this step is morally unacceptable to me and totally at odd with a society I want to be a part of I have handed the responsibility to solving the situation on to the people who created it, the government.
I have taken this step because due to it's strength relative to me the government have a multitude of less violent solutions open too them.
For example they can offer the young lady a new, better job elsewhere which is better suited to her personality and qualifications. Of course this means the young lady will still represent a burden on the taxpayer but as the government thinks it is perfectly acceptable for the young lady to be a burden to the taxpayer in her current position I can only conclude this is considered something of a civilised solution in government circles.
The government could compel the organisation to move the young lady to another post within it's area of operations.
The government could also compel the organisation to terminate the young ladies employment. I know this seems a little harsh but if you understood the situation as I understand it (a step the government seem absolutely desperate to take) you would understand this is actually quite a humane act because it would allow the young lady the opportunity to address the issue of why she seems to need such a high level of government support to secure employment.
If the government is really at a loss to find a more creative solution, and I fear it may well be, it could simply tie the organisation down to the point that it's activities are distilled down to the one simple process of defending this young ladies employment.
As yet the government has refused to take any of the options that are available to them and as by now they must've realised that the situation cannot be allowed to fester I take only take their failure to act as an order that they wish for this young lady to be killed.
I have to say I am very disappointed by this news because if violence is all the government can conceive of then violence is all our society will ever have.

Just had that meeting with the social worker/Occupational Therapist.
And it's best described as an establishment meeting where carefully using only publically availible information where we sort of got a vague sense of each other.
During that time we established four main things;
1. I have much greater knowledge of my condtion and how to solve it then she does.
2. My plan to solve of how my problems is accurate and valid.
3. The Enterprise House step is an essential part of that plan.
4. The Enterprise House stage cannot occur while Sadie is working there.
She then went on to try to encourage me to hold future sessions outside of the clinical environment where she hopes to put me at my ease and get me to fill in the blanks of my case while she pretends to be my bestest, bestest friend.
She agreed to contact Enterprise House to discover what steps they are taking to resolve thier situation and promised to look for alternative project that fits in with my criteria (one of which is that it must be on the Crystal Palace quadrant).
We've arranged a second appointment of June 16th which will prove something of an acid test to see if she is capable of assisting me with my rehabilitation. If she is not there clearly will be no need for any further appointments.

So today must be Tuesday.
Personally I would never have noticed apart from the fact my internet connection has been down all day.
This meant that I've spent all afternoon dodging questions from my increasingly harrassed father before going out to a pre-arranged dinner with that same father. During the course of my drunken evening we discussed many of the key news issues of the day including the Max Mosley story (apparently one of the alleged prostitutes was the wife of a serving MI5 officer, go figure) and the story of Gazza's ever increasing decline.
Also showing up on the radar was the anti-terror bill, hillary clinton and Mugabe's speech at the UN but that only really provided a backdrop to an ongoing text-message dicsussion between me, my mother and my sister as to my sister's living relationship over the next year.
As that all came to an end I discovered that the old internet connection was suddenly availible again but as you may have realised at this point I am far to drunk .
