Thought i'd write some stuff about this period in time and put my side of things across.
Writing 'hurtful' things about a cancer sufferer was what got me in trouble and my reaction to being arrested.
In my defence I could have used depression/anxiety and how they affect me but I didn't and I very much messed up big time when it came to the police and the court hearing at the Magistrates. A month or so later my mother was diagnosed with bowel cancer, she didn't live for much longer.
What lead up to the above is that I over-reacted to DR and some other CASP people and how they behaved. I didnt know how participation with Camden Council via tenant groups could be so distasteful - humans, relationships, not my greatest trait. I was very niave and I think some may have taken advantage of that.
When I saw the article about DR cancer I didn't taken it in, I just saw it as another tactic being used to give them an advantage. I reacted and wrote things that looking back on I shouldn't of written. I didn't know how the myeloma affected DR etc.
I wasn't physically violent as it was suggested nor did I threaten it and I hadn't gone anywhere near them: I had stopped going to tenant meetings some years before - that's a tactic used by some to make things look worse that they where. A few untruths here and there, local politic's stinks. I don't have the stomach for it, some seem to thrive in it.
What was said about David Rodgers, I apologize for that and any genuine hurt. Sticks and stones etc etc but I know that they can at times hurt.
I do though think that the tenant participation scene wasn't [still isn't maybe] a nice place for some people to be, but I guess that's life and one just has to get on with it and learn from your interactions with others.
