I, Steve Wallis, have been a political prisoner in various psychiatric wards of hospitals since the summer of 1998, because I am a serious revolutionary socialist who is a threat to the continued rule of big business in this capitalist world. I set up the Campaign for Sanity in the NHS in the run-up to a Kiss It! demonstration on Valentine's Day 2005 in London (against psychiatric patients being given forced medication which will be allowed in the community if New Labour’s Mental Health Bill is passed) after going AWOL to a Scottish Socialist Party conference in Perth the previous couple of days, but was prevented from attending due to being apprehended by the police early in the morning on the bus on my way to that demonstration. [The Stagecoach bus driver was very hostile as soon as she saw that I had a banner (for the Campaign for Democracy in the UK) which I was taking on the bus, intending to get a train from Manchester Piccadilly down to London for the demo. She tried to get me to shut up when I talked to passengers on the bus and the police arrived soon afterwards. In retrospect, I would have been picked up by the police whatever I did before reaching the demo, because there were massive vested interests against my participation in it and I am under continued surveillance.]
However, I handed out copies of my initial Campaign for Sanity in the NHS leaflet, a slightly edited version of which (to correct some minor errors I detected when proof-reading after making copies) appears on the demands page of this website.
At the moment, this is a one person campaign, but I've set up an internet discussion group for this campaign at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/health-service-sanity which enables anybody else to contribute to discussions of the demands it should put forward and activities it should support or organise. The time for launching the campaign proper, with an actual membership, will probably be after I hopefully become an MP at the next general election, as a vehicle for campaigning against the Mental Health Bill. The internet forums page on this website lists other discussion groups that I am on, some of which I have set up myself.
