I wish British cannabis users would get more politically involved. Stop acting like it is legal. Stand up for your rights.

@EarthToGazelle Please point me in the right direction so that I look into spells etc :)

The lady at the charity shop today told me that she wishes people would clear out their children's old toys in the lead up to Christmas rather than after because she always sees a number of parents in the days before Christmas looking for toys for their little ones who might be strapped for cash. She said there's very rarely anything in just before, but that they get inundated with toys in the days after.

And it really made me think about it in a way I never would have before.

If you know your child is going to get lots of presents from Father Christmas this year, by clearing out your cupboards a few days early, you could make another child's Christmas a lot more special too.

Saw this & thought I'd repost.

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.

Flying all the way from America in Business Class to kill an animal which has done no harm to you, ony for the animal to send you back to America in the Cargo Section is the ultimate defition of Poetic JUSTICE. A lesson for Human Kind. We are not sorry.

One of my longest standing hobbies is thinking about whether I should get an iPad. It’s not about the iPad it’s about imagining the alternate life I might live as someone who has an iPad. Love to wonder about it

This is the cutest thing I've seen today..

[Dane @UltraDane]

Lulu and her 4 kids get £333.33/month per child, £1,600/month for any possible rents, £2,884/month universal credit, £1,271.68/month spending money, and more. Lulu makes more than the average middle-class British citizen working a 9 hr shift, 6 days a week.

Lulu doesn't have any skills, she's permanently unemployed, and will be a burden to British taxpayers, the rest of her entire family's lives.

Lulu demands better conditions, the English are torturing her, as everything that's been given (with no strings attached) to her is not enough.

I voted Reform.

I keep seeing posts “EVERYONE WHO VOTED REFORM IS RACIST.”

I’m Polish, well, technically more Greek/Albanian than Polish. But I was born and raised in Poland.

I legally immigrated to the UK 13 years ago. I’ve always worked, sometimes multiple jobs at once. I’ve paid hundreds of thousands in taxes. I integrated into their society, learned the language, and ultimately gained British citizenship.

Over a year ago the government shut the four-star spa hotel, in the small village where I live to allocate it to “asylum seekers”. Ultimately many people lost their jobs.

I can’t go to the gym in the hotel anymore because it’s shut. My daughter can’t have swimming lessons there because the swimming pool is closed.

So-called asylum seekers don’t integrate into British culture or society. They don’t speak English. They occupy the parks and playgrounds. They are mostly young and fit men, women and children are the minority. Those young men stare at my body when walking past me. I don’t feel safe letting my daughter bike to school by herself anymore.

I don’t want my taxes to go towards illegal immigrants. I’d rather our roads be fixed, schools and hospitals have better funding. I’d rather the government look after their people first. That should be the priority of each and every government WORLDWIDE. If that makes me racist, so be it.

I don’t agree with the WEF. Whoever openly opposes their globalist agenda in my books, is a hero we need right now. If that makes me racist, so be it.

I don’t agree with gender ideology being taught at school. Children are impressionable, and their young minds can be easily manipulated, confused and swayed. There’s nothing sexual about school children, and sexual ideologies should be kept out of primary schools. If that makes me racist, so be it.

I don’t agree with the anti-meat, anti-dairy, anti-farming agendas. We need our farmers. If that makes me racist, so be it.

I don’t agree with de-banking, lockdowns, cancel culture and a cashless society. There’s a thin line between excessive government control and the erosion of our freedoms. If that makes me racist, so be it.

I wanted a pro-business and pro-entrepreneurship government. They create jobs and fuel our economy. If that makes me racist, so be it.
