@LairdOfTheManor He does definitely have very far right leanings though. Time will tell. I would definitely keep the US at arms length and the money crazed loons that run it now.

@Mancman10 Definitely a strong bonkers gene not to mention a strong misogynistic gene in the family going by that interview...... what a load of bollox.

@SportsDirectUK awful company with terrible customer service.... avoid!!!

@KentPoliceMaid it sounds like there is personal safety alarm going off on St Peters Street Maidstone, I called this in and the call handler seemed very dismissive. Can someone please drive by and make sure all is ok please. Someone could be in real difficulty!

[Valley Floyd Road @SnodlandAddick]

@davesumnersmith @Keir_Starmer Yes

[Valley Floyd Road @SnodlandAddick]

@dave43law This is a good thing anyway

[Valley Floyd Road @SnodlandAddick]

@Frances_Coppola Most of them won't even know what that is or what it means!

[sarah murphy @13sarahmurphy]

New depths of moronic victimhood plumbed…
By übermoron who took away our freedom of movement rights and was part of a Tory regime that limited our rights to strike, protest and vote and armed the far right with slogans and hate…
FREE to talk shite in the Torygraph.
Repulsive.

@bruce_steiner The bar's fairly low as the system is pretty rubbish but nobody's going to change it as money rules everything especially in the US

@StanCollymore Thank you so much for this Stan, you really do make a massive difference by being brave enough to say what you say. I can honestly say your words have helped me personally many times. Thank you 🙏. Thinking of Graham's poor wife family at this awful time.

[Stan Collymore @StanCollymore]

Graham Thorpe, England cricketer, with beautiful daughters, loving wife, family and friends.

Took his own life.

Too many men in particular, at a time when information is plentiful, charities on standby, text, phone and email services ready, are deciding to end their lives.

Many reading this, like me will have hit very close to where Graham got but stopped short, just. It's a desperate, confusing and frightening experience mixed with a matter of factness that at the time feels sobering, you feel you're thinking and acting clearly but you're not.

Graham's wife took the decision to tell the world of how Graham both lived and sadly died, in the hope that if you or someone you know are struggling you'll grab one of the branches set out below and contact someone who can and will help.

When someone takes their life, there's a trail of pain, questions and few answers, but many of us know that anxiety and depression gets so bad that life simply doesn't feel worth living. In my case I was lucky, very lucky. I ran, and ran some more until clouds lifted, the anxiety moved away and I could think straight. Looking back I've been seconds away from death several times, so reading about Graham is incredibly confronting, upsetting and sobering as I'm sure it is for many.

I didn't know Graham but his story is all too familiar. Anxiety and depression for men, particularly men, hides invisible as the forced machismo creates a mask, a shield. You laugh, you crack a joke, you "look" ok and you carry on. But then one day as if you were preparing a meal, you take stock, prepare your deed and,

You take your life.

Leaving others with a lifetime of pain.

You don't mean to, it's the last thing you want, but it's the unintended consequences of a decision made, nonetheless.

If you're reading this, and can relate to any of the above, firstly have 5 minutes to think of Graham, his children and his wife, they need all the love and support that can be sent their way.

Then, if you're anxious, depressed, really struggling, ease know that my email is open to sound off, that charities such as the Samaritans are there 24/7, SANE charity phone line is open from 4pm to 10pm daily, MIND have drop in centres nationally and emergence services will always help on 999 or NHS 111.

To Graham and his family, you're on my mind and the mind of many, and to those struggling, you're a second away from help even in your darkest hour.

Protect life. Yours.

Stand up. Speak out.

@hatearacist I hope they laugh her out of the room!! Awful self serving woman that has already done so much damage.

[Valley Floyd Road @SnodlandAddick]

@davesumnersmith Not enough!

[Valley Floyd Road @SnodlandAddick]

@AnonymousUK2022 A ton of coke by the look of it!

@AndyPlumb4 He'll be having a lovely ten year holiday at His Majesty's pleasure soon....

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Today @Nigel_Farage said he was mislead by Andrew Tate on the identity of the recent murder

1) A sitting MP should not rely on a famous vile misogynistic thug for their information

2) An MPs job is to fact check

3) No British MP should cosy up to Andrew Tate

RT if you agree.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

It is clear that @elonmusk needs to stay out of British politics.

RT if you agree.

@IsraMohm Hello there

[Valley Floyd Road @SnodlandAddick]

@Keir_Starmer You're absolutely the right Prime Minister at exactly the right time for this country but the only way to end this is arrest these two. That sends a message to the money men funding this. That includes Elon Musk! No one is above the law!

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Is the answer arrest Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson?

[Valley Floyd Road @SnodlandAddick]

❤️ @Heccles94 keep doing what you're doing mate. There's so many people that feel absolutely the same as you 🤗
