If you want me to ignore anything don't post it.
Frankly I am feeling a little pissed off again at receiving multiple copies of the same message.
I have not read your link yet, I visited it, but was not in the mood for heavy reading, you do know
I am dyslexic don't you?
A long time ago back in the 80's I think the rot set in with regards to social work training. I used
be involved with an organisation that received money from what was then called CCETSW and one of the
chocolate quaker trusts. Well times changed, and community activism fell out of fashion (it was the
Thatcher years after all) The arts (farts) arm of the organisation survives to this day, but the
rest of it, well that is history and it nearly bankrupted me.
Whatever is happening actually happened a long time ago.
Don't equate any of this to the Nazi's that really is to diminish both what the victims of the Nazi
regime suffered and to diminish the argument you are trying to make as well. You might well be
destined for destitution, but not the death camps and Zyklon B yet and don't forget that!
