<p>I am a liberal socialist who is opposed to the right-leaning Westminster government and to the archaic, undemocratic political system by which it was handed power. I live in Scotland and support the campaign for Scottish independence. I support the right to peaceful protest. Nuclear weapons are not a deterrent; they are a means to our swift annihilation. If unchecked, climate change is the slower path to the same end.</p>

There are approximately 43 million people of working-age in the UK of which 4.4 million are now claiming sickness or incapacity benefit. EU statistics show that around 10‑15% of the European working‑age population is unable to work due to a mental‑health condition.
