INEOS and the Glazers aren't destroying United, they've destroyed it. United fans suffer while these billionaires continue ruining this beautiful club.
Protests don't work. So let's hit them where it hurts. Give the companies below your review. #BoycottUnited#GlazersAndIneosOut
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.
In shock and in tears, two children cry and bleed after an artillery strike that killed their mother. No location or side confirmed — a heartbreaking glimpse of Sudan’s war on civilians.

⚡️JUST IN:
Over 40 celebrities including Billie Eilish, Finneas, Cillian Murphy, Joaquin Phoenix, Steve Coogan, Annie Mac, and Peter Gabriel, appear in a Together for Palestine video calling for a Gaza ceasefire, released ahead of today’s benefit concert in London.
“What they've done to Gaza is f***ing insane. & if you can't see that, if you can't say that, your response is, Israel has the right to defend itself. Like, what are you talking about against what? Children?...”
Today small children in Gaza are dying of starvation.
Just a mile away hundreds of trucks sit full of food.
The IDF blocking them entering.
This is the face of the Israeli regime - evil beyond comprehension.
Eric Cantona :
" If Gaza is over this time the world is inevitably over. The world developed its way of murdering , its greediness grew and its desecration of innocents has extended.
If Gaza doesn't make it this time this mean that victory is for the most violent , and the most barbaric "
The most vulnerable people on earth, trapped with no electricity, food, access to their own sea or any means to escape are being bombed by the most powerful army in the region armed by most powerful military on earth.
There’s never been a war just a medieval type slaughter except with drones and fighter jets.
And these cunts smile and talk about human rights…
@RBS_Help need to investigate what happened and issue you with a final response. If you don’t like what you hear in their final response letter you should raise with @financialombuds
