Another telling-it-like-it-is posting from the always worth-reading, Mark Neary: “A daily battle to hold on to my sanity - "Syb Ill. Bas Well. Man Well” (The reference is to the great British TV comedy "Fawlty Towers", featuring John Cleese.)

"So much of the social care world is based on lies. The promotion of Choice when there isn’t any. The push for supported living as a beacon of independence when lots of them are just rebranded care homes. The idea that Personalisation puts someone in control of their life. The oft repeated assertion that “The service user is at the heart of everything we do”, when it is clear that money, systems, all sorts of things push the service user pretty low down in the pecking order of “everything”.
