Hello everyone
I just thought you might want an update.
1) I was so overwhelmed with your kindness and support, I’m going to follow up as many as I can but just wanted to say Thank you very very much
2) while I am thankful for all your kind support I also am incredibly chuffed how my post brought out the discussion In the open, that so much of you were brave and open enough to discuss your stories and help my post have purpose. I wish you all achieve some support, work or whatever you need. Man you deserve it.
3) I still wish to remain anon because I don’t want to take my plight above what it is, my plight. It’s all our plight and while my situation is fucking bleak, I am not one, I am many so please continue to open up so the world can hear.
4) here’s the mad bit. As I mentioned in reply to a poster, I had spoken to my mp. Well. I had been to a “surgery” he did in town. When I met him I told him my concerns and my story in terms of the reality of working in the uk tv sector. The horror of the mental health situation and some of the stories I had to tell. Here’s what I came away with. There were 3 labour mp’s in the meeting. NONE had heard of Bectu. NONE had heard that C4 had sold their head office and NONE had heard of the looking glass report. Anyway. They were shocked and lost for words.
5) But I left With the idea what it would go nowhere. I wrote my post on here, and that afternoon my mp wrote to me by coincidence and apologised for a lack of response and silence but the government is on recess, but when it retired he’s going to raise it as a motion or whatever they do in the House of Commons plus contact members of the new government, more importantly the minister for Culture Media and Sport, Lisa Nandy, and raise my meeting and OUR story with her, to highlight our crisis. Who knows. Who knows.
6) can I say feel free to share the post to freinds etc and keep the momentum going. It’s about US so we should let this grow. Our industry deserves it. You deserve it CONTINUED IN COMMENTS
