A tented area in a hospital yard full of sick innocent people was burned to a cinder last night by an Israeli airstrike. There are no words. Their families and friends must be lost for any hope in this world. 😭😭
@User11422148521@Chelsearory No, I dont think he should be classified as a fraud and failure because of this one game. I honestly think Argentina find a way to win regardless of tactical adjustments or timing of substitutions. He was 5 mins away from being a genius! Thats why I think its crazy.
@Carra23 In hindsight, Tuchel made the wrong changes at the wrong time. Who knows what may have happened if he chose differently. But Argentina played so well for the last 20 minutes and fully deserved to win. Tuchel will be heavily critisized but you have to give credit wherenitbis due
@Carra23 What? Argentina were miles better than England. Better at scrapping but more importantly better at actually playing football when it mattered. Best team won.
@User11422148521@Chelsearory Its easy to say that after the game though. This has happened to every English team for the last 40 years. And the only solution you hear from the English media is to immediately sack the manager because he's a fraud and a failure. Its crazy.
Ask why there’s been so much violence in the middle east these last three years and you’ll be told it’s because of October 7.
Ask why October 7 happened and you’ll be called an antisemite.
Ask what specifically transpired on that day and you’ll be called a conspiracy theorist.
Louis Theroux has interviewed paedophiles, nazis, the klan, westboro Baptist church, aryan, conspiracy theorists, sex perverts, South African apartheid adherentsa and ultra Zionists but he loses sponsorship for interviewing someone who criticises Israel?
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.
3 days ago Trump said, “I appreciate that Israel has temporarily stopped the bombing in order to give the Hostage release and Peace Deal a chance to be completed.“
Since then, Israel has done 230 air strikes, killing at least 118 Palestinians.
Warning: there are a huge number of people out there who believe the Palestinians “started a war” on October 7 and have now “found out”. I mean many millions. That the “war” actually began more than 75 years previously when foreign settlers stole Palestine and was ruthlessly continued every year until now is unknown to these simpletons. Of course many are industrialised bots and others paid to disinform but nonetheless the Zionist case has seeped into millions of homes. We have made huge progress- I know better than most having been in the cause more than fifty years - but we still have a long way to go.
You can protest against Israel’s genocide in Gaza and unequivocally condemn the antisemitic terror attack in Manchester.
Don’t let politicians or the media tell you that you can’t do both.
