"Kendall said supermarket managers had told her some young people did not understand work was "just the nature of life and that isn't stress or pressure".

GP's diagnose stress related illness and declare if someone is fit enough to work, NOT Supermarket Managers.
If Liz Kendall forces unwell people into work she will kill people.

If you want to diagnose mental illness, study… the body?

Not quite. But new research is highlighting how poor mental health often goes hand-in-hand with poor physical health, and how the two relate.

Why British women are the saddest in Europe

A global health index shows that female wellbeing is falling faster in the UK than the EU – could the largest gender health gap in global advanced economies be responsible, asks Katie Rosseinsky

The Independent

The affects of Cortisol and chronic stress. You need a break from stress to allow your body to recover. The Tories want poor people to have more not less stress & so more ill health. Then penalise you for that chronic illness.

Not actually a picture of me 😁

I am “Pop’s” and I am a “Passive Voyeur”, I am an Aquarist and tropical fish keeper, a grower of indoor bonsai, an amateur photographer and a very occasional and not very good artist. I am also a passive voyeur of all things naughty, sexual, sensual, dark, spooky, cute & sexy..

So who is “Pop’s”, I am a 67 year old divorced man (long time divorced), I have two grown up sons, Jonathan and Gareth. I am retired from work (any form of work if I can help it 😁), I retired a little early due to ill health although now I am of course past retirement age anyway. I am not exactly in the best of health as explained in my post “The State of my Health“. As you might imagine I have quite a bit of spare time and I’m not terribly active so I have a bunch of hobbies as stated in my post “Welcome” and I like to spend a fair bit of time online, so I have a fair few sites that I frequent, You can find all of the links to my various sites here –> MY LINKS.

OK, I think I should clarify what I mean when I call myself a “passive voyeur”. Despite the fact that I’m getting on in years a bit and I don’t have the best of health plus I’m divorced with no likelihood of becoming entwined in any form of relationship, ever, I still have the same needs and urges that I did when I was younger and healthy. So I enjoy viewing naughty, sexual, sensual & sexy things on the internet. I know this almost certainly makes me sound like a dirty old man and a weirdo but hey ho. But I’m not a fan of messaging, chat rooms and the like so I don’t like to get into talking about any of it, either in voice or text form that only leaves me with internet voyeurism, thus voyeur, and I chose the label of passive because I am friendly and safe and I have no compulsion to become involved in any way. I hope that makes sense without making me sound creepy 🙂

To further clarify my sexual orientation, I am a cis male, being a cis male I love women of all ages, races and orientations, I have actually developed a bit of a thing for transgender women. I enjoy watching straight sex, lesbian sex, trans sex, in fact just about any kind of sex, yes I’m male and human, so shoot me.

Although I think I’m generally a nice person I cannot deny I do have a darker side that needs to be let free now and again. I am into horror, fantasy and the goth and alternative cultures (although I don’t generally embrace the goth look myself), I love anything surreal, dark or spooky, including anime, manga and hentai, I guess I’m a bit of a weirdo.

So that’s me, I hope I haven’t put you off me or my blog 😊💕

Having been accessing my mother’s bank and building society accounts as her Attorney (she put in olace LPAs for finances and also health and care years ago) due to her seriously ill health, it has struck me just how awful some organisations are. They should realise how difficult it is for an LPA to be enacted and aim to assist (usually) relatives at a very very challenging time. #banking #LPA #DistanceCarer #IllHealth #MentalIncapacity
