The response by the DHSC to the 'news' that the deaths of learning disabled and/or autistic people have doubled during #COVID19. 1/5 Image
My response to the DHSC response:
1. You are not working hard enough. 2/5
2. Throwing out the number of tests carried out is both meaningless in relation to this issue and offensive. 3/5
3. You have not paid any attention to the particular risk surrounding people who already die on average 20-30 years earlier than their peers. 4/5
4. To improve your understanding you need to ensure robust data is generated/analysed. This 'news' is utterly predictable and shameful. #EveryDeathCounts 5/5

A short thread about an Uber driver who picked me up from the @PHMMcr exhibition tonight. [Can't get him out of my head.] 1.
There was a bit of confusion and we ended up with two extra Deaf passengers who were going in a kind of similar direction. 2.
The driver said that they weren’t allowed to pick up people without bookings, so they try and find a black cab or occasionally give the person a lift as 'a friend'. 3.

Important thread. Here's some additional thoughts. Why does the APPG on Learning Disability need to listen to any more inpatient atrocity stories?
It comes across as voyeuristic and parasitic, takes up time that should be used to plan strategic and effective action. We know. We all know.
Why is the same handful of family bods involved at these gigs and do they unintentionally become part of the stifling fabric of failure?

Mandatory training is a red herring that will not touch the careless, almost pedestrian dismissal of certain people as not really human. #YewTrees
The layers of failing here are so intense, and what people must have experienced so unimaginable, my head is tense aching.
“Through review of CCTV we witnessed abusive, disrespectful, intimidating, aggressive and inappropriate behaviour.”
