Hello

Have done a search but have not found a reference to it.

The Orwellian Present – Never Mind the Future.

Is this for real or a fake? A basic Google did not throw much up.

[Mods: Not sure if this is political or health, so can it live in the Lounge for a bit, before being moved smile ]

Idiocracy in action.

The Americans and the Germans (they both ran eugenics programmes) were doing the right thing during the 20th century. The Yanks until 1971!

I was unconvinced too - in fact, this thread was one of the few relevant Google results... why is why I'm now replying here.

There's a Facebook group (not 'Page') called Get Steven Home, which provides legitimate links to a Radio 4 interview, a BBC London News article (since taken off YouTube but available elsewhere) and local press reports. Somewhat shockingly, it does seem genuine.

It's Steven - probably why you didn't turn up much searching online. Whole thing is horrific, even if he is released tomorrow he'll likely have long-term issues as a result of this ordeal. Poor sod.

Full story here.

Ah right. Heck I even copied and pasted the name to avoid spelling mistakes! Ta BVG. smile

The main reason I posted this was that after reading the How autistic are you? thread, I was keen to know how those who took part in that thread would read/react to this and how many would go on to sign the petition.

Completely bloody wonderful news - Steven is home!
Further updates here and the verdict here.

Someone from Hillingdon Borough Council should now be facing charges of unlawful imprisonment and probably a few more too... but won't, of course.

After what happened to me I thought I knew just how low certain council employees could sink... what happened to Steven has completely redefined that.
