Yes, yes I know I keep harping on about the state of psychiatric services in this country, but the fact that this mental health patient murdered and dismembered someone shows you what I worry about. This patient was discharged from Newham General and the investigation is going to look at how he came to be released. I suspect he was diagnosed with "personality disorder" which is untreatable with medication - and so the patient is discharged.

When I was an A+E nurse I had to spend all night trying to get a violent patient Sectioned (detained for psychiatric assessment without the patients consent) The social worker was extremely reluctant to do this, and I only managed to convince her when I explained that at 8 o'clock when security left, the patient would be free to leave the hospital - and it would be her face on the front of the tabloids when he killed someone.

He was sectioned 10 minutes later.

MI5 has been expanded to meet terror threat. This news is being reported as a good thing. For those not in the know MI5 is charged with maintaining security at home.
Pardon my Tin-foil-hat paranoia, but if we were told that the KGB were being expanded would we be so happy? The increase is due to an "increased terrorist threat" which seems to be wheeled out everytime a government does something like this. Anyone would think that Irish bombs had never terrorised us.
