@AllForProgress_ But Keir said there was enough fuel at the forecourts! Is he lying?

Anyone tell me where the make believe country of Palestine is?

The sad story :

[Stan Collymore @StanCollymore]

Suicide.

I'm choosing to be deliberately blunt and provocative in this post because it's necessary. Government, charities, football clubs are all pushing water up a hill in highlighting what is undoubtedly a major health crisis.

You take a rope.
You put it up in a garage or a tree nearby or far away.
You're thinking about every loved one you'll leave behind as you put that rope around your neck.
Then you drop.

Some are decapitated.
Some aren't.
All are found by someone who has a lifetime of trauma that will never leave them.
A son.
A daughter.
A brother.
A sister.
A mother.
A father.

I know 2 men who hung themselves.

One was found by his Mom.
One was found by his brother.
Neither have recovered fully. 20 and 30 years on.

A life sentence for people who were already worrying, terrified their loved one may do something.

So just visualise the above and ask, "is there another way"?

A segway for a moment.

I do a few Q&A's every year. Tales of yesterday with a 99% male audience of my age group.

After the stories and fun, my last question back to the audience is..

"Hands up if you struggle with a mental health issue".

Nobody ever puts a hand up. Despite 1 in every 3 of 500 attendees statistically struggling.

"Ah, nobody, that's fucking brilliant! Well I do! ". I then graphically tell people, stunned into silence about how a rope around my neck in the middle of nowhere jolted me to go home and cry like a baby to my Mom.

After the Q&A has finished, something always happens. I'll be chatting to a few guys, saying bye and one by one, men will come over and whisper " I struggle".

Or my mailbox the next day will have 30 emails from guys, their partners or kids saying " Dad/Uncle /Brother was there last night and what you said hit them hard".

And that's how some people realise that it's time to speak to a pal or family member or even rant to me in an email. It works, I often get a follow up email a year or 6 later saying that they took responsibility for their suicidal feelings and are now flying.

Humans are programmed to want to live, to have families and to keep the species growing and thriving. So for a human to want to short circuit that desire isn't normal, and it should never be spoken of as normal. It's the ultimate red flag.

If you suspect your mate, Dad, Brother, Uncle is struggling mentally, they deserve your intervention.

They deserve a " are you OK, please tell me what's up".

They deserve an opportunity to get past wanting to hang a rope over a tree or in a garage and slowly struggle until they die and you find them.

If you've been there and trust me I have plenty, then you'll know that text out of the blue, or a footie mate or one of your kids asking jow you are can open the curtains to some sunshine.

Because when suicide is your only answer, the room is already dark, and you can't see a way out.

So please, fucking pretty please, ask that husband, Dad, Uncle, Cousin, footie pal TODAY how they are.

You may be shocked what comes back but extremely glad that you asked.

For those who struggle, you're not alone.

@RamsNFL You don't have to come over.

[Purplist DannyJ @Purp1ist]

@LFC He'll never take an attacking set piece to make it worth the practise.

[Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11]

I just debated at Cambridge and Oxford. At Cambridge, instead of focusing on their own decaying country, they are obsessed with Israel. The lack of moral clarity on this topic is chilling. I decided to put this bouncy Brit in his place.

Watch:

@WeThePeople021 *From abroad

[Purplist DannyJ @Purp1ist]

@WeThePeople021 Is he paying the tariff on it? Or are the American people? Doesn't look good buying from a road when he's promoting American built products!

[Purplist DannyJ @Purp1ist]

@MAGAVoice Is there not tariffs on people leaving the US yet?

[Purplist DannyJ @Purp1ist]

@TahirAliMP You're a disgrace.

[Purplist DannyJ @Purp1ist]

@Guramitsingh01 Who is giving these 'judges' the parameters and precedents approval for these decisions. OH yes..the government.

[Purplist DannyJ @Purp1ist]

@Keir_Starmer You're also in charge of a lot of other situations. You don't take the correct decisions with those!

[Purplist DannyJ @Purp1ist]

@LNER @aodhan_horsman You won't get to your destination though. Lucky if you do. Standard @LNER

[Purplist DannyJ @Purp1ist]

@CFC_Janty It does..shite defending

@Keir_Starmer comment please

[Marcus Walker @WalkerMarcus]

Didn’t Labour pay them as a vast sum to stop them doing precisely this?

[Visegrád 24 @visegrad24]

Hamas terrorists abusing an Israeli-Ethiopian Jew and hostage since 10 years who suffers from mental illness during today’s terror ceremony in Gaza

Where are the student activists from California.

The street protesters from London?

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

The scenes from Gaza are horrifying.

Palestinians are parading the bodies of Israeli BABIES in coffins, as they blast loud music and celebrate.

What kind of sick society is this?!
