Bed Push Brighton Londoon
and
London Mad Hetters Tea
7th- 10th of August

Like the policies of the government and most psychiatric hospitals...We are going back to Bedlam!
The Great Escape bed push aims to raise awareness about the poor levels of choice of treatments and the widespread use of force used in the psychiatric hospitals. The Great Escape Bed Push Team believe in its current state psychiatric care often makes people's problems worse and that the use of unnecessary force is on the increase. Many of the campaigners have been in-patients who have witnessed and experienced the use of forced drug treatment. They are joined by nurses and others concerned by the emphasis on control in psychiatry and the lack of therapeutic activities. The crazy bed pushers will give out wanted posters and dodgy pills (sweets) to members of the public and proclaim 'Psychiatry is off its trolley!' At various points of the journey the escapees and the public will have to look out for the giant 6 foot syringe squirting water at them.
The bed push will end at Geraldine Harmsworth Park, London at 3pm on 10th of August. The bed pushers will join a 'Mad hatters Tea Party' (see HERE)
A petition will also be presented to 10 Downing
Street protesting about the over use of force in psychiatry (e.g. forced drugging, forced ECT, psychosurgery and brainwashing).
Campaigners would like more meaningful activities in hospitals, access to alternative therapies, more accountability about levels of force used in psychiatry and more alternatives to hospital admission
provided (e.g. crisis houses).
Psychiatry has a shameful history and deplorably it has carried many aspects of its past in to the present. Psychiatric treatment is often more akin to state sanctioned torture than to compassionate and
sensitive care......
Incarceration, physical force, forced drugging, compulsory electric shock treatment, pain compliance techniques, psychosurgery and brain washing.........
All demonstrate the defectiveness rather than the effectiveness of psychiatric treatment.
The Mental Health System is in urgent need of radical reform. We demand an Immediate End to Psychiatric Assault.
