JK Rowling new book — chronic illness references

I am very glad to hear it reconfirmed that the recklessly written daughter character is still being toned down by the BBC according to the rules they shall not break, so very glad to hear the BBC still trying to portray this illness in order to enlighten a mass audience - which is so very important - there being no other way for the Govt (UK) to rapidly deliver life-enhancing and life-saving mass enlightenment to the UK population (cheaply at the price), our problem with how this is done is plain

Yes, the BBC could sure use funding for rapid delivery under the new logistical and logical NHS Delivery Plan (for M.E/CFS) and we stand ever-ready to help (once invited) with the advisories (the lack of invite is resounding). Assuming the Delivery Plan has an efficacious (LilyThePink) Budget, the Public Relations Prorgam (UK) can be turned gently from sanitising the Reputatioin to sanitise our reputation, then its 2 for the price of one, a stellar public economy. World Class is superseded by Stellar as we speak. Boris was World Class. We are Stellar. And so @bobbler will have a pun for the New Year.

Its only meet and fit and proper that the NHS did spear-head and lead this Delivery Plan addressing one of the biggest global heath inequalities ever seen (HealthGlobal), the NHS Transformation gave way to the NHS Renewal, the WHO might well chip in if allowed back in after so upsetting the axis by putting its UK foot in the door with a Disability Commission not to mention its terrifying interventions in Gaza

yes .... yes .... yes .... eggsactly ... you are quite right

It feels like a reasonable line of inquiry in an investigation, especially for someone unfamiliar with this condition. Get her to explain exactly why they're talking. Maybe he understands and is just seeing if she might slip up in her explanation that might indicate it's more than what she says (which she did).

- mmmm maybe i forgot everyone is suspect under Inquiry

I stuck an edit in the middle of my last post saying the show also may have been "playing dumb" here to give her the opportunity to answer for the audience's benefit.

- not very memorable clarification so lost opportunity if so

Edit: That "lived experience" phrase is the only red flag for me. I'd like to see if that turns out to be just bad writing or the "culty group-speak" you suggested.

- I didn't mean it is culty groupspeak in realtime tho it may be, sorry, I meant the arts of participatory professional engagment present "lived experience" to me as a fait accomplit, no longer optional, but only as an advanced and advancing label sounding like itcoined, was preferred and requested by an ill or otherwise disadvantaged communitiy refusing to be called sufferer or patient etc, any more,

- "People with "lived experience" is now neck and neck with the format People With ME (PwME), its an identity thing, it signifies to me an authenticity wanting and granted some vocal precedence over others who lack this authenticity to speak of it

- and yes "lived experience" is easily scorned to translate it derogatively so it looks the culty groupspeak it may be ( or be co-opted by) culty groupspeak given sinister overtones of satanic ritual etc which it may be too, differential diagnosis matters, the flag is the JKR political history which was updated in this thread, this update being all I know about those identity furores since tuning out around the time the Guilds got embroiled and certainly around the time the I.D.s multiplied as did the conundrums and it seems to have got translated as a culture war with snowflakes but who ever goes to war against snowflakes, they MELT goddammit, look upstream, fix the weather.

Edit 2: Maybe they meant for her to say it weird because she's currently hiding something and flustered and trying to give the "right" answer?

- yes that was my first impression, as already some surveillance had unearthed it, but the daughter figure was denying it (the current contact with the father figure), which denial is detectively understandable, not in itself suspicious not even in this context (for reasons given (in previous post) -), though one should always tell the truth in an investigation, but I don't think the character was arrested and told under caution that all they said and did would! be used in evidence against them in and also used in court

@forestglip I don't know how the plot pans out but if we exchanged fone numbers and got talking and then a detective asked me why on earth we had made contact i'd say whyever not, or try to give the thesis about coming in from the cold, or I'd ask if he was told it is still a pathological illness-perpetuating behaviour to connect through the internet with other ill people, since the exemplary Paul Garner made that mistake at some length and ended up wth a salutary 6 months of long Covid due to being influenced ? Did I get that right ? People like PG being so very suggestibe eg to voodoo, sorry Voodoo.

One can be wished to death you know depending on the superstitious beliefs one is taught along with the curse-belief (menstrual or otherwise) eg the superstitious belief-in-the illness-belief, which is evidentially a belief in Voodoo with a jovial Jovian Jehovian tinkle attached (ie there is no other so no buts). But trading spells and the odd curse is no excuse nor token of belief

true believers are very vulnerable to the internalised death-wish if cursed, such is superstition as researched, it happens, no-one does an autopsy on the most suggestible deceased professional (true believer), but they do believe an autopsy on their client showed the power of mind (theirs) over matter eg to manifest as a ganglionitis, in other case the manifestation of mad cow disease could be said to be have been co-morbid, allalong, with FND, hey presto, you see where the mad cow label replaced the bitch label

SO i would kindlly enquire of the detective had he ever yet talked to and got to know any body else with a limp which people think is just a limp having no idea what that entails, unless one can make it graphically and dramatically obvious and find a mass audience in sympathy with this naked display.

We have a detective character who sounds to me like one of the most blatantly disabled characters you could wish to meet. As portrayed to me by his audience, he sounds so self-explanatory there is no problem understanding all his problems.

He too is exemplary, no need to start of with "Hallo, I have a limp and it hurts", all he needs to do is wince I suppose, unlike the father character who needs to start off with "Hallo, I have M.E (Myalgic Enceph.....is that a soft c or a hard k)". Who would know what a catheter bag under clothing entails for a paralysed person, who would even guess its there

I lived longer than a child before people, in person, in realtime (but only in private conversation) made it plain to me what a limp entails when one leg is shorter than the other) And plainly they lived surrounded by people who didnt like them wincing and didn't get it even if they fell to the floor. At every other step. As an unaided child. I even suspect that were the UK populuation treated to a mass awareness promotion of the M.E predicament it would turn vicious because why should we be lifter out and leave them behind
 
Another thing I noticed was that smoking/vaping was seen in a surprising favourable light. Almost a signifier of a decent character.

Life changed by catastrophic illness. Looking for information, mutual support and community with others who understand online. Obviously a wrong 'un.

Puffing away - "oh, I know I shouldn't, but understandable considering the stress I'm under". Not even worth mentioning to the doctor as one of things undermining Strike's health.
 
So can Strike sell safe vapes to a stoic audience, along with a Comparative Disadvantage 101 class in
- oh no not again - "mine is worse than yours but i don' t complain (so much)"

?

But rumour has it a vape is safer than tobacco. Can't ban smoking from drama too. So this is just promoting a safe smoke according to BBC belief - and according to JKR's belief (or known associates) if vapes come with the book

Doesn't work unless you like Strike for a ferreting role model. Me too. I like to ferret too. Oh and lest we forget - many schools are finding discarded vapes with horrific illegal drugs laced into them. Spiked. Your drink can be spiked. Your vape can be spiked.

Must the BBC encourage little students and their parents to risk a spiked knock-off vape - safer than striking a match ?

Arsonists aside, i guess the BBC has advanced to drama showing young men and women being scrupulous in the pubs and clubs to never leave an open drink unattended as an open invite to deniable rape. Was the world always so unsafe ? What would be the medieval equivalent ? Droit de signeur. Don't scare the baby, nanny

must we wait til the schools find rophyqwotnot in the discarded school vapes, too, or does it vanish from detection in a vape as fast as it vanishes from the blood, Give us a lead Aunty, the vape lobby is not that powerful, stay on the safe side, you were not bourne on the wild side
