North East Charity Cricket Club & Tropical Tours with @Durhamcricket & @Aidmanagement - Unforgettable Adventures, Protecting & Providing for Local Communities π
@EdwardJDale Hi Ed,
I'd love to hear the 'evidence' rather than just the list. Fascinating stuff!
I'd argue the above subjects completely the other way.. Hawking, Hauser, Crick et al.
Genuine friendly chat suggested.. I might learn something and Im not into Twitter battles at my age π

@PaganTrelawney@matthaig1 I did not say Africa was a disaster area (Go check..)
Your first tweet was incorrect
Your second tweet was incorrect
You don't want to admit that, so you're just repeatedly name calling and repeating the same incorrect accusations
I have been calm and polite.. goodbye
@PaganTrelawney@matthaig1 You're clearly passionate about MH so I applaud you
People support MH, but there's more immediate problems in most other parts of the world.. sad fact, but true.
#1 Alive! #2 Everything else
Doesnt mean #2 isnt important, it's just not #1
Good luck to you π
@PaganTrelawney@matthaig1 No, you are just stuck on level 1 of the issue
I get the convo, lets move on..
I just support those raising the issue that, unfortunately, MH is not Africa's priority.. as that is a fact
@PaganTrelawney@matthaig1 I did not miss the point of the convo at all. I am merely explaining I am an experienced expert in the subject, not just a voice of twitter with no professional knowledge.
I support the convo.. I just agree with the people raising issues that are higher on the list of priorities
@PaganTrelawney@matthaig1 They teach us this stuff.. us pro's..
#1 Maintain Life
#2 Sustain Life - Shelter, Food, Water, Sanitation
#3 Quality of Life - Community, Mental Health etc
Thats all people are saying
@PaganTrelawney@matthaig1 You're hilarious! I know that obviously!!
But.. As a Continent, it's nowhere near the top of the priorities list unfortunately, so I feel people are entitled to raise that.
Like if you go to A&E/ER.. the Doctor prioritises breathing and heart rate over mental health don't they?
@PaganTrelawney@matthaig1 Have you gone quiet because you've re read and realise that I did not say that?
It's polite to apologise and just admit you read it wrong!
Seeing as you accused me of pushing negative stereotypes about the continent I live and work for! Oh well, have a good day
@PaganTrelawney@matthaig1 I did not imply Africa was a disaster area, re read!
I explained my experience in Africa.. as per the convo, after 23 years responding to disasters there, as a Pro in the field dedicated to Africa.. not just an outsider view
I love Africa, lived in the slums 9 year saving lives
@PaganTrelawney@matthaig1 Having dedicated my life, for free, to saving lives in Africa, I am aware of that. Africa, the continent, #1 Priority is keeping people who die needlessly ALIVE. After that, it's quality of life issues. I'm all for MH, but it's #1 Keep them alive, #2 everything else in Africa
@matthaig1 It's not impolite, it's just further down the agenda. Life and Death before Quality of Life. Completely support MH awareness.. but 20 years rescuing people in Disasters around the world.. #1 Keep people alive #2 everything else
You have to live there to understand!
