To round up rightwingers and shoot them?

I am so bored and frustrated with politely pointing out why rightwingers are wrong about everything.

If I have to read one more thread about why someone with mental health issues shouldn't have had children, or why someone made homeless should have managed better, or why the benefits cap is a good thing because Fuck the Poor, I will get out my gun and raze the boards of MN.

STOP IGNORING THE FACTS YOU RIGHTWING IGNORAMUSES AND CLIMB DOWN OUT OF YOUR OWN NARROW ARSES TO THE WORLD THAT MOST PEOPLE STRUGGLE ALONG IN.

Oh, and you're all cunts BTW.

I trained as a psychiatric nurse in one of the large psychiatric hospitals. I then worked in or was seconded to quite a few others - a large hospital for children with learning difficulties being one such place.

The care was excellent, the patients (as they were then called) were happy - many of them ended up in far worse places with the introduction of Care In The Community.

Surely a well staffed and equipped hospital has got to be preferable to spending millions kitting out peoples' homes with medical equipment and paying them to stay at home?

All of the institutions were large (if not the largest) employers in their locality.

ShirleyForAllSeasons · 24/01/2012 15:13

No of course not, it's just a bit repetitive!

BelleDameSansMerci · 24/01/2012 15:14

Until the money to those "hospitals" is cut. What happens then? What happened before under the Conservative Care In The Community policy which was, as I recall, all about cutting cost.

Dawndonna · 24/01/2012 15:16

Yes Boffy, but in your scenario, none of those people would grow up to be a loved, respected and contributory member of society. Whereas in my scenario, all three of mine will be exactly that. Now, toddle of back to the home dear, I think you may have the nurse/patient scenario a little confused.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 24/01/2012 15:17

How can being locked up in some institution be better than being with your family and people who love you? These are human beings. These are our families. Where is your humanity, compassion and empathy?

ShirleyForAllSeasons · 24/01/2012 15:17

Oh Boffy - I agree that Care in the Community was just a way to further disenfranchise the mentally ill.

But the rest of your post is so grossly offensive as to be shocking. I'm pretty unshockable here on MN - really I am, I just tend to think "oh, that person is a moron!" if they say something really awful but...

seriously. Can you not, for a second, imagine giving birth to a much wanted and loved child only for them to have a life limiting disability - or any sort of disability which required medical assistance only to have that child wrenched from you and placed in an institution with people who didn't love your child, because they're just doing a job? And you can;t live with your child?
actually this is so so awful, I am really stunned.

SparklyRedShoes · 24/01/2012 15:18

Encore!Thanks

kelly2000 · 24/01/2012 15:18

Boffy,
Not if they prefer home. I think things like the camphill homes are fantastic - they are proper homes, and the one I worked in was like a farm with a shop and everyone students and volunteers contributed to the running of it. It allowed people with different abilities to have an independent home, and some of them guarantee a home for life which is a great weight off the mind of many parents who worry what will happen when they get older. But these are not instituitons, nor were people forced to go there.

Hullygully · 24/01/2012 15:18

poor boffyflow

care in the community not working for you is it?

All that training boffy , what a waste of money, you're still ignorant of people's needs and circumstances.

Boffyflow · 24/01/2012 15:20

Heswall
I was born in the 1950s. Yes, I lived through the 60s & 70s and grew up with nothing. We had no fridge or washing machine and had an outside toilet down the garden.
Oh - and got the cane more than once :o
None of it did me any harm.

I am aware, by the way, of the Tory input into Care In The Community. I disagreed with it then and I disagree with it now.

MmeLindor. · 24/01/2012 15:21

My mother's aunt was in an institution till she was in her 50s, then she went into a bungalow with a couple of other women with MH issues. They looked after each other, and had a social worker come in daily to check on them. It worked well till my great aunt became unable to properly care for herself, at which point she went into sheltered housing.

The final 20 years of her life, filled with laughter and friends were the best of her life.

Hullygully · 24/01/2012 15:22

I'd say it clearly did you immeasurable harm

kelly2000 · 24/01/2012 15:22

Boffy,
You think people who are disabled or ill should be put in insitutions so obviously being caned, and having an outside loo did not do you much good.

GoingForGoalWeight · 24/01/2012 15:23

This is the second admission, of a 'care worker' who secretly loathes the very people they're supposed to care for.

Namechanged boffy ?

Boffyflow · 24/01/2012 15:24

Oh well, shoot me then!

I sincerely hope that Labour do not come into power ever again.

ShirleyForAllSeasons · 24/01/2012 15:26

My mother was born in the 40's and lived in great poverty - she never got caned.

She would never, in a million years, think that a return to the days of children with SN being put in institutions would be a good idea, because she has a human heart not a swinging brick.

Get a grip on yourself and JUDGE YOUR AUDIENCE FFS.

Ilovecoffeeandchocolate · 24/01/2012 15:27

Peachy
Yes i did a few days ago.

I also agree that this thread is in very poor taste, joking about rounding up people and shooting them because of their opinion is not really a subject for a joke. It happened and is still happening around the world. Wonder if anyone would joke about shooting other groups of people, I would hope not!

Boffyflow · 24/01/2012 15:28

GoingForGoalWeight
No, I have never namechanged - that is the truth.

And, fyi, I was an excellent nurse who did care for my patients.
I now work as a manager in a slightly related field with no patient contact.

Peachy · 24/01/2012 15:28

Well I don't need to defend Hully, she's able to do that for herself and my first post ehre (in ages!) was we should not be shooting people.

I can however comprehend her expression of frustration if not the terms she used. Because I feel that too.

Hullygully · 24/01/2012 15:30

I lovecoffee

Unfortunately you are simply too dull for me to bother with

HTH!
