Social Work academic, interested in youth justice and social justice, rights and participation, and asking the right questions.
In this 2022 article I argued that instead of segregating social work students into different routes, we should champion a social justice approach, where SW students from different experiences and backgrounds learn side by side. Remains firmly my view. bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journals/…
Wise words as always from Prof. Fergus McNeill.
UPDATE: Charlie Kirk Utah District Attorney discusses Tyler Robinson Text Messages.. and I’m sorry, it sounds like a bunch of baloney 🔻 Text Messages Robinson: "I have a chance to take out Charlie Kirk, I'm going to take it." Boyfriend: what? You’re joking right? Robinson: I'm still okay, my love, but stuck (not clear).. I've got to grab my rifle still. To be honest, I had hoped to keep the secret until I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you. Boyfriend: you were the one who did it, right? Robinson: I am. I am. I’m sorry. Boyfriend: I thought they caught the person? Robinson: no they grabbed some crazy old dude and interrogated someone in similar clothing. I planned to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after. Most of that side of town got locked down. It’s quiet almost enough to get out, but one vehicle lingering. Boyfriend: why? Robinson: why did I do it? Boyfriend: yeah Robinson: I’ve had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out. If I’m able to grab my rifle unseen, I will have left no evidence. Going to attempt to retrieve it again. Hopefully they’ve moved on. I haven’t seen anything about them finding it Boyfriend: How long have you been planning this? Robinson: a bit over a week. I can get close to it, but there’s a squad car parked right by it. I think they already swept that spot but don’t want to chance it. I’m wishing I circled back and grabbed it as soon as I got back to my vehicle. I’m worried what my old man would do if I didn’t bring back grandpas rifle. Idk if it has a serial number but wouldn’t trace to me. I worry about prints, I had to leave it in a bush where I changed outfits. Didn’t have the ability to time to bring it with. I might have to abandon it and hope they don’t find prints. How the F will I explain losing it to my old man. Only thing I left was the rifle left in the towel. The f’ing messages are mostly a big meme… judgement today, I’d say grandpas gun does just fine, I think that’s as a $2k scope. Robinson: Delete this exchange. My dad wants photos of the rifle. Grandpa wants to know who has what. The Feds released a photo of the rifle and it’s very unique. He’s calling me RN. Robinson: Since Trump got into office my dad has been pretty die hard MAGA. I’m gonna turn myself in willingly. One of my neighbors is a deputy for the sheriff. You are all I worry about love. I’m much more worried about you. Don’t talk to the media please, don’t take any interviews, or make any comments. If any police ask you questions, ask for a lawyer and stay silent.” I AM NOT BUYING IT….

I'm glad the Government agree: "A service of this scale and complexity cannot be run effectively from Whitehall" (p77) Why do all their actions - abolish NHS E & Healthwatch, merge ICBs and strip commissioning capacity - go in the other direction? assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6866387f…
