Wessely has been on TV this week pushing the usual line of, "Theresa Mays more attention for mental health just isn't enough, we need more money".
Its called Problem Reaction Solution, It is a propaganda strategy designed to make the public think there is a crisis in something and to demand "something needs to be done about it". Quite often the people who seem to be criticising the policy makers from the outside are actually on the same side and are playing good cop bad cop.
Its basically a strategy of Governance by "consent".
This strategy has worked very well in terror porn in the last decade and a half. It has become so Orwellian in memes like, "we need to give up some of our liberties to protect our freedoms!"
The establishment cannot very well just wake up one morning and announce "we will be diagnosing more of you people as mentally ill soon", so they have to make you think you want it, but first they must get everyone to agree to "destigmatise it".
There may well be shortcomings in what we refer to as "mental health" but beware of the meme that there is a crisis that needs resolving which will basically put more power and money into the hands of establishment figures like Wessely with the obvious intention of "identifying and diagnosing" more people with "mental health" problems.
Imagine the disaster that is going to be in hands the BPS school in times of the austerity myth and the portraying of decent and criticism of the establishment as extremism.
This is all being done via a socialist health care system which many believe is slowly being infiltrated by the worst side of private healthcare philosophy. Take the worst parts of both systems, combine them and you have a disaster.
