I am 53,survivor of abuse and child trafficking in the early `70`s,am a survivor of hep c, in the early `90`s,I was given the  disease through a contaminated blood bought from the U.S.A, prisons and the blood/plasma was coded as clear and uncontaminated.This was proved to be a cover up.There were 1000`s and there still are more cases coming up as the years roll on.This was and still is called the Stealth disease as it can lie dormant for up to 20/30 years.I as very unfortunate to get full blown Hep.c and Hep.b.If I had not had a specific test, I had to Ask for it.I would be dead by now ,the government gave an Ex-Gratia payment of £20,000,if you got through the aggressive treatment,that was not totally proven to not kill you .The disease either lies dormant and some have a full life and are unaware of the fact that they are a carrier of the disease or a sufferer.The payment given as accepted by all ,as it was all that we could do to get that.Thatcher apparently knew about this  and did,said nothing to anyone we have never really been apologised to and £20,000,worked out as £1,000 per each year that myself in particular,as being given,I took the money but should have asked why we only got such an insulting amount and treated like scum as soon as it was known THAT YOU HAD THE ILLNESS .I as a nurse and could not hold down any job or even run my own business,and so am now what everyone is starting to call `scroungers`We are not lazy ,we are treated badly as to how to deal with it all and no one is doing anything to redress the the issues with the few survivors that have managed to actually survive the early treatment.Have to go for a medical to prove how unemployable I may be,so that`s just like adding insult to injury.The abuse case in Manchester,dealing with the systemic abuse and torture of children in APPROVED schools in the north especially. The courts have dealt with some of us,we are all in our 50`s/60`s.But are pushing aside and withdrawing legal aid from us so that we will just go away.I won`t!Is ther any ay ay that I can bring my own case and fight the council(Manchester) on my own .I had legal representation but that has done nothing except use my case to help change the law on historical abuse,there wwas a time limit but that got changed with the help of my case,now I need information --Van-spall (talk) 09:55, 16 July 2011 (UTC)as to how I do this myself.....
