And... other things.
(this page will be added to and improved over the next few days - always behind with digital - its such an impossibility to get early morning sockets when i am always no matter what at my fullest power energised new day full steam ahead)
Now.... i hate begging. In fact don't do it - or extremely rarely.
I have a range of acquaintances over especially the last 5-6 years who know one thing about me for sure: I NEVER moan. Ever. I had a random (likely) 'black mould' bodily systems breakdown which floored me for 2 1/2 years from winter 2015/16. I hardly told anyone. (likely caused by 3 years prior to then for £110 week, living in 300 year old converted barns built on an actual swamp, no damp course - Rachman builder jerry-converted).
That was survived (NHS useless - The Marches they lose your tests so often not worth bothering with them) by walking...a lot. I was near dead the winters of these near three years. Eventually in mid 2018 my own immune system i guess clicked in and sorted it out.
I am the most world record wounded parent in history. 2010. It is serious - 5 years mind/body in existential grief, at total loss of my only child who was all of life for 11 years, but certainly by 2020 i learned you MUST laugh at it - and the baddies who either did the dastardly deed or even a few others complicit.
A longish story not entirely told in the earlier posts here. My only wish from around 2005 to sort of turn the dastardly deeds into something useful. Even one day maybe arty. Basis for books or songs even.
From 2016 I ramped up one thing (thinking i was for the chopping block) which was collecting a large selection of great novels and literature for my stolen lass. All done on the cheap as i had only a few quid spare every week at best (on government sick pay over 2 years of £65ish quid a week).
Since becoming gentrified out of said Rachman swamp (i did rather like) as the owners put the rents up 50% or more in the period 2020/1 I have only lived ion my small berlingo tin can.
I had to store the library that by then had grown to over 1000 books in commercial storage and have paid £2,500 on that over the last 5 years.
. BETTER Pictures will be here soon - i have one of all 1000 books in one place ready for storage
I catalogued hundreds and hundreds before i went roofless so as to be aware which not to buy again
And also carefully sorted hundreds to pass on... to parents
Daft to spend so much on storing the library now 5 years - well it was planned to be 6 mths!- well not really as one thing is for sure i know a great little book. And hundreds of hours were spent trawling charity shops over ten years for anything half decent i could find at my limit ..of 50p a book. And Esti did do a literature degree at Kings in London. I assume she got a 1st. I was never even informed. I know she also went on to do a MA in dad's lil' speciality - human rights.
My 'funding' or begging links are here - bank paypal etc . The link in red.

Along with one of several attempts to collate some kind of index, there and in this one. Takes a LONG time with a socket i simply haven't had.
Sad as so many thousand readers (none or only one has ever donated to the buy me a coffee thing) - but i plug on and will ramp that all up soon.
But talk about the ultimate cross to bear, a lass who hasnt really been able to speak hardly at all in near 17 years (Stockholm syndrome is.... well it seems almost impossible to tip toe around - i have spent 80% of my waking hours since 2020 on just about any way i can thing of of getting her to reconnect -it fails always - when a child has been as if a farmyard dog whipped and kicked emotionally, at that kind of age i guess they are scared for life ), but ends up doing at uni what i brought her up above all to do - read... and then even if myself quite by accident, attempt to progress universally good 'human rights' law...
Now, why don't I complain. Because (As written up a little below here, and also more floridly on ralphschism.com) I know that few people have remained as engaged with ordinary society - ONLY doing 'causes' - i have had no social life for 17 years, you don't when your heart has been munched up and vomited back in your face for the greedy Cruella's out there, entertainment.
And in fact the main cause the last few years has been to write. Or begin to work on the chronicles.
Sounds a bit pretentious. Bear with....
My 'chronicles' i shall add to this section later.
From 2010 i have still done thousands of hours legally mentoring those who have horrid family problems connected to their kids. (For NO money or £/hr coffee and sarnie if they have some to spare)
As of a decade ago i realised that the Borderline Personality Disorder (i hate labels but that one is the only one i believe valid, its described earlier in these posts) is so widespread it's now not possible to make any difference. BPD I know as i long studied psych - the better modern versions, is years to just maybe assist someone beyond.
Just as one of 100s of examples i am gradually beginning to put up as chronicle in a recent recorded chat with some Belgian middle aged parents It's almost laughable how they relate that in Belgium - a fairly high pressure, very market driven industrial society, they hardly have any 'hoarding disorder'. I know that even in my former region of 30 years - The Marches, it is very common. UK is the really sick man of not just Europe, but the world.
A chat with some Belgians a few weeks ago can be heard via this post
https://www.ralphschism.com/2026/09/to-edit-urgent-and-why-uk-is-already.htmlAnd THE one and main reason is disastrous child psychology for decades. this legal case was about opening up the thing so that useful (or at least REAL 'stories' could be shared across society so we may learn. Not only what to avoid, but also best practice - as in the invention of the 'peace plan' post separation in Esti's Bill of Rights https://www.simonclayton2020.com/p/official-judgements-and-statements.html
the first time such a "template" - to quote Justice Hedley, appeared in a published case - as he said to assist others. I am most proud of... 100s of thousands have used the 'parenting agreement' that was based on it, since then.
This above chat is in my 'chronicle'
From 2015 - in honour OF a lost but highly intellectual child, and admittedly at first for some self preservation as UK is about the worst place in the world for false allegations, i kept a voice recorder with me at all times and always on whenever i was near any people. (An American woman i was frightened may make falsies 2015 after she encouraged my then housemate to take 'depression' medication - we had as a perfect team working on her mental health successfully for several years, she saying no meds, likely sent her into full psychosis that required her to be hospitalised. But what they [ that American we even knew) then do is turn it around blaming others...hence protection - she had said i was a fine carer to my face - but who knows what they make up later on....so keep a record... as it turned out unnecessary that time )
Anyway forget her and her lethal pills.
I kept my recorder on during PRO EU loose 'campaigning' then the aftermath... for three years. My time among the supposed pro EU people - hint, they did NOthing... did no preparation for maybe other questions to the electorate. Merely drowned in self pity and lack of any philosophy.
It is a fascinating record of what REALLY happened from 2016.
And then we had the almost repeat in 2020 when nobody in a VERY rural region dod ONE thing ever to help anyone else... fascinating.
The real Britain...
From 2023 i began my unintended most interesting period of many many chats with Europeans (unintentionally getting marooned in the SW - always at quiet places where walkers may pass through)
I know they are a great 'record' IN fact as with the Belgians it loops back into one of my two main 'causes' over 25 years - child psychology - just good healthy simple ways of being with our children... and so so many recorded chats with 100s of European parents make it clear they are at ease and very much on top of 'normal' parenting, than the British. European schools are NOT full of the self *arming, false alleging, mentally ill kids ours are.
And as it also happens... there is then ordinary life you could say: In my own work (part time land worker - building fences, rebuilding old sheds gates etc., so so many times one gets 'gibbed' - promises made the job will begin, and maybe even continue for weeks, when they see your great work on any initial stage, then you get some weird text saying its suspended. It has become impossible now to make a living .. and this summer the drought meant almost any new jobs coming in ceased.
And frankly three years of that - gibbering - a quaint old Cornish word much riffed upon in my Ralph material, has now finished one off. The tin can needs £500 to keep it on the road..... and no tin can can't go and rescue - move to a possible new free home, that library...
The chronicles also have a record of something else that over time i know is great material to weave into some REAL culture. 100s of chats with 'religious' folk. And actually far more importantly many hundred with those who purport to care and act to save the environment (my other main 'cause') who are sadly lost to 'spirituality'.
In both instances the record states without a camels width passing through the dumb eye of a needle, that using god or the fairies or 'mindfulness' as crutch, stops them EVER actually following through with smiley promises - to team up on environmental matters. As for the religious its even worse. But they have to be turned into 'based on a true story' stuff for stories... anonymously. Not that there is any legal need, but i have a rule: those who take public money - which also includes major public attention via online in rural areas especially, can be named.. raw data - fair game. I am extremely 'communitarian' but so much falsity within the self appointed goody goodies has utterly destroyed UK society. Wastes especially my time - i get any cause i do, DONE. Those who don't put themselves about much I respect their privacy.
The most fascinating of all - a George Borow style chronicle of REAL Britain, is how in thousands of chats over this decade, if one riffs with a British person - almost always parent in 50s or older, and states " uk has the worst child psych by far, and also it is known throughout the EU our environment is the most degraded.." they will ALWAYS say " well why on earth are you still here then.." in quite a disdainful way.... having introduced oneself prior to that comment, as i always do, as a doting devoted parent.
Europeans never speak thus.
I find this extraordinary that almost no British 'middle class' fairly well educated person i may chat with - my main interlocutors, as most of my chatting is out walking, can EVER think - never has said " of course you have remained somewhere you are [rightly] critical of as you have a child here and she may need you at any time...never mind they need our guidance well well into their twenties..."
There really is your REAL answer.
As i have recorded dozens of time over the years.
The top prize goes to a Christian known for years who despite being told many a time that i simply have been unable to get through to my daughter - 1000s of hours spent on it, strongly suggests it is MY fault - i am some devil in disguise. That one hurt. Most of that doesn't.
One day i shall have the socket to upload all the 1000s of photos and bits of film taken over a decade - hardly any my lass has ever seen. They were for her.
These where she won the ferret olympics at Chatsworth House Autumn 2009 after four years working her way up the slippery pole of the ferret world - thousands of ferret fanciers gathered, and at the same show we was made an official judge by the committee as she was known as a superb animal husbandress even under the spotlight. Probably one of the youngest ever.
And then a few months later never saw her dozen of pet ferrets ever again. Or pony..or the rest of our zoo - all for her.
And no religious person has EVER offered to attempt to 'bridge' - as i have done for many families, including very devout religious ones in my past location (with estrangement or legal wars ongoing - ralphschism has write ups on that) and DOES work in fact.
Actually slight error - at a 'public' level the way that official County environmental officer The Maccurrachs (of Kington herefordshire) in 2020 bulldozed a huge set of living badgers in the hills - i alone filmed and also recorded a talk with him where he attempts to wriggle out of their serious crimes, is top prize...as they were so so so prominent in the local large church, too....
Soon all gets turned into something useful to leave behind...
