Have to come to FB to share my thoughts since I have being given a very Cold Reception on another SM site. Don’t get me wrong I know everyone have a business to run & U have to abide by rules & regulations, but when an Idiot like Me makes a genuine mistake, I think that should be taken into consideration. Then again I might have to think a different way and believe I was too slow in taking up their offer to up-grade? But U know what I am not 4 running myself into DEBTS to keep up with the JONSES! So when I cleared my debts I may just decide not to upgrade and find another outlet for my views? The questioned posed was “How Tolerant is Society About Children and Family With Diverse and Complex Needs?” The response from the High & Mighty was it is inappropriate and the moderator will remove it…! Well suffice it to say that this is just an indication of how Intolerant we are as a society. Some of us are only capable of paying lip service via the rhetoric of the moment whilst hiding behind bureaucratic red tape. Because of personal experiences I have taken on the mantle of ADVOCATE for the downtrodden in society who have to put up with Social Injustices & Inequalities that are harmful to our wellbeing. We do share thoughts about every day occurrences and my colleague shared an incident that occurred on her travels which made her very livid. The language being used by 2 guys were disgusting & RACIST… She wanted to intervene because as a Mother of teenagers she had similar experiences, but was concerned for her safety. This time the perpetrators were well dressed white males who one would expect to behave differently. When we see others out in public we can’t tell by looking about there heritage, so therefore we should not make judgements about their identity! With that thought in mind I got the bus home instead of walking as I got me a bargain in Tesco on Soap Powder. Got to the bus stop at Tottenham Court Rd & the #25 bus came & a Mother is trying to get on board with her buggy. Imagine my disbelief when the driver refused to let her on after much pleading & shut the door in her face. I’d looked in the bus & there was only 1 other buggy, so I did not understand why the Mother was refused entry? Went over to asks the reasons for her to be left behind & she said the driver said there was no space. The Mother said he was probably drugged up or drunk & she should have got his #! I felt really bad for the tiny wee Baby when it started Screaming out in the Cold. What really made my blood even boiled more is the fact that it was a young black man who is the driver Then I started thinking about why the other Mother had to buy such a big buggy when she is relying on public transport? Those size of buggy should only be used by persons who have their own private vehicles. So that they don’t inconvenience the other users of public transport! It don’t take lots to get my back up! And if I have being INTOLERANT of any of my FAMILY, Friends & Acquaintances lately please accept my sincerest APOLOGY! Sometimes the cares of the world do get to ME & as the saying goes “ME a tek di beam out a mi eyes fus b4 me try tek di moat outa fi sumady else…?” Maybe its time 4 US all to start doing the TOLERANCE Test to try make this a better Society for All?

The only way I get my concerns given any notice, is by putting my foot down and sticking to my #GUNS. It did not work at King’s College Hospital despite raising concerns with UNISON. Asking for advice from the HR Department at KINGS and London Borough of Southwark SEND Section. The Local Educational Authority, Local Safeguarding Children Board and Ofsted. So I refused to be discriminated against and take my case to the #SouthLondonEmploymentTribunal. I was pushed around by Capsticks, Wimbledon and their cohorts. I ended up as part of Dr Maria Hudson of the Policy Studies Institute research and recommendation to Acas. I was blacklisted and networked against from then onward, my life changed forever.
Move forward to my ongoing problems with LEYF Nurseries from the time I get back from burying my MOTHER. In the intervals I have had runs in with Voice: the union for education professionals, they are as I am expecting all unions to operate, corrupt. My runs in with Bates Wells & Braithwraite London, they are like I all solicitors to operate, unscrupulous. My runs in with #LizRoberts of the Nursery World Magazine, Resources for Autism, Darvell School of Community Playthings UK, Advising London, HCT Group, Connex Education – London, etc… They are all the same getting a Brown Nose.
Just recently I went to the GP Surgery Nexus Healthcare in my local area. Only to be told the next appointment is on the 29th November 2017. So I asked in my most professional voice, considering I have been trying to keep the tremors in control “What am I supposed to do in the meantime”? So they take my number saying the Doctor will call me, let’s see when?
My angst is, despite me telephoning the Police on 2 ocassions about verbal threats over the telephone, I was told it’s not a Police matter. However, Winsome Duncan: Author & Public Speaker can phone them up to report she have concerns about a postings on Facebook. Stating I am thinking of self-harming and suicide. I have no intention of going into this as anyone who knows me, know my views about suicides.
However I am just so angry about the way vulnerable people are been treated by psychopaths with an axe to grind. That’s after PM Theresa May, pledge to the Daily Express. What would have happened if I did not open my door? Even when I opened it and they could see there is nothing wrong with me, they insisted on entering my home. They then proceeded to try forcing me to go with them until I put my foot down, I was not leaving my husband.
I eventually showed them the Medical Reports from the Employment tribunal case bundle, I had taken along to Neil Coyle MP Surgery. There was a man smashing up the place, but I did not see anyone calling for him to be sectioned.
My point I am trying to make is I insisted what I am supposed to do in the meantime when I was glibly told the next appointment is 29th. I noticed one Lady at the reception, eying me under her eyelid and I am thinking maybe she should call the Ambulance to take me home. I can hardly walk. Now the GP called and I am prescribed painkillers. I reasure her I only take prescription medications when I can’t do otherwise, so she has no need to be concerned. The other thing I will have to make my way to collect the prescription and go to the pharmacy.
My GOD, when am I going to have a reprieve? I am having it up to above my head. If it’s not one thing it is another. But for all of the psychopaths you will have to wait, GOD don’t done with me yet.
Time to salute 1 of the 1st Independent Woman of my era from Townhead – Grung Road. The locals called her Ms Campbell & she was the wife of Mass Tat Sinanan. Sorry to say I don’t even know her other name & I am blaming this on the fact that she never resided in my Voting & Population Census areas. She was God-Mother to my breda Amly & this meant she was a person of unblemished & exemplary standards to be afforded such an accolade from my straight laced Parents?
Ms Campbell ran her Business Empire from the back of her family home and I am very sure she did give Owen aka Hurry-Hurry Sinclaire a run for his money. She travelled to town regularly to stock up on supplies to satisfy the needs of her many customer. Anyone who was anyone from far & near went to Ms Campbell for a bit of retail therapy. It was also a case of one’s name being good, so one can trust & pay later.
It was customary for us children to make pilgrimage to visit God-Parents so they can live up to the pledge they made. I usually loved accompanying my breda to visit Ms Campbell not just for the goodies we get to take home, but for other reasons too. One such was the way she would try to call my breda by his 3 names & never succeeded in saying them right, then she’d laugh out loud and say “I don’t know where Mass Ivan got these names from…”
On reflections I am thinking that Ms Campbell may have stammered, but am not sure? Ms Campbell made her mark by doing her own business & never stood by & expected her husband to support her & provided her every needs. I am sure if she had taken the decision to rely on Mass Tat, he would have complied. But she became a role model for other women by becoming 1 of the 1st women to establish herself as an entrepreneur. Ms Campbell became the fore runner for others like Bev McIntosh aka Big John’s wife & Ms Pearl Johnson. They were amongst others who were to become the back bone in supplying us with foodstuff at one time in Jamaica’s history when food did a married to all manner of things before they could get into our pots to feed the hungry masses. God blessed the Entrepreneural Spirits of the likes of Ms Campbell who was one of the beacon amongst STRONG BLACK WOMEN of her times.
