I woke up this morning at 0400 as I always do and realised that we were finally in an age of potential democracy. I have spent all of my working life with Nu Labour in power. Nu Labour's dislike of whistleblowers has cost me dearly. I think it is impossible to describe the depth of disgraceful behaviour by Nu Labour as applied to Ward 87. It has gone from two Labour MPs lying to me, the Department of Health character assassination to the GMC whose sole aim is for me to sink into some unnamed grave. How on earth does anyone recover from something like this?
So, yes, I have spent vast amounts of time fighting against the dirt that was thrown against me. After ten years of Nu Labour tyranny, I know there is no recovery for me on this aspect. The minimal I as a whistleblower can expect is tea and sympathy as was the response from Nick Clegg. My problem is that tea and sympathy does not rock my boat. I don't react well to it because I am a reluctant victim. I don't even like calling myself a victim but sadly that is what Nu Labour has made me.
So for somethings there is Barclaycard and for other things like the post effects of whistleblowing, there is no solution. So Cameron's government may dictate a new age and a new style but for me as a whistleblower, I believe the damage has been done.
One of the main issues about life is - you can't change the past but you can change the future. I do though feel nauseous at the thought of the level of paper used to fight various battles against Nu Labour, the number of court cases to uphold what I believed in etc. Of course, had I known my path would cross with Nu Labour, I would never have gone into medical school. The cost has been extremely high and all I can do now is gather up whatever is left of me and carry on into the future. I should of course be grateful that I am neither depressed or dead. That is normally what happens to most whistleblowers in the UK. So yes, today I feel like I have come out of a 10 year war bunker. As with most soldiers, the scars of war always remain. One of the scars of whistleblowing is always being perceived as a pariah. That is the status quo of any whistleblower.
