Parallel Savile CSA Enquiry Named PR Consultant Max Clifford In Historical Allegations

As far as we’re concerned this is not the biggest news story of last week, which broke on Friday 27th April. Clifford’s naming follows that of Jim Davidson, Freddie Starr and Rolf Harris. The allegations are reported with the usual prurience disguised as public interest and the assumption of being in an alternative judiciary and there is no small hint of Schadenfreude and revenge from the UK print media against someone used to working with them to bring them celebrity stories for his own gain. The allegations date between 1966 and 1985.

The Guardian has the story here and the BBC here.

  • Sharing – 5 Amazing Benefits of Blogging about Mental Health

    I’ve had people refer to me as someone who is surprisingly self-aware. I don’t really think of myself that way, but what I do know is that reading and writing about mental health topics, as well as my own experience in therapy, provides me with constant reminders about the importance of mental health, and how that information either resonates with me, or doesn’t, and why.

    I don’t think our current culture really encourages that kind of behavior. We are encouraged to be busy, productive, constantly hustling and then showing it off on social media. Self-reflection? Ha! No time for that.

    But there should be time for that. Without knowing ourselves, how can we even start to care for our own mental health?

    As you may know by now, I do believe very much in the power of connected with other survivors online. An online community may not be the end all and be all of support for a survivor, but it’s something, where there may currently be nothing. So, it was a pleasant surprise to see two…
