They take rights but protect nothing

The human rights act lumps together criminals, vagrants, addicts and the mentally ill as people who can be punished by loss of liberty.

1 in 4 of those have committed serious crimes and developed society's worse punishment is imprisonment.

The other four are offered equal protection. Of course these people have committed no crimes so they can lose their liberty and it is not, in any way punishment. This last sentence should be said in a sarcastic tone but it is the truth of the psychiatric system.

There is not even the system of justice afforded to those who commit crimes. There is one judge and jury. The psychiatrist or responsible clinician.

No judicary and little oversight. This is what the human rights act gives the mentally ill and their members rampantly abuse it.

The amended Mental Health Act in the UK. The children with learning disabilities legally tethered to a wall. Forced electrocution. Forced chemical restraint. Forced use of the killer drug clozapine.

Are we so inhuman the human rights act doesn't protect us and the uk's lawmakers take advantage to subvert the tenets of law and liberty because a psychiatrist judges an individual as mentally ill.

We have no protections and because it is assumed malice can happen prisons have better oversight. Don't fucking leave it up to doctors to ensure psychiatric wards are always better than prisons.

I am not I because of this force or entity. I am "we"
