    Really hard-hitting. Very good to get a view from a mental health professional. Thanks so much for sharing this…Would like to interview the psychotherapist myself for an article, so will chase up. “I want someone, somewhere, to give me a cogent counter argument (ie to argue that the government is not deliberately targeting disabled and sick people in a way that he says has led to the deaths of a minimum of 5,000 people – and this is his very conservative estimate). Now they are trying to hide the figures. I don’t want to believe the conclusion I’ve come to – but it’s inescapable.”

    I wonder what will happen when a person failing one of the attitude tests get diagnosed with depression as a result of sanctions. Will they face more sanctions or perhaps get imprisoned in a mental health hospital? It’s plausible with this government.
