Some people feel sad sometimes


Quarter of adults have felt suicidal
A quarter of adults in England and Wales have considered suicide, research suggests.

Suicidal thoughts are most common in those aged 45 to 54, with just over a third saying they had contemplated taking their own life, according to the research conducted by the Campaign Against Living Miserably (Calm).
Oh good God, not another one? Well I'm not sure*. I visited their website to find out if they are another taxpayer funded, fake charity, but it gave me such a bad headache I found myself contemplating suicide.

The website is here but take heed before clicking the link. A pair of sungigs might help.
While men and women can both feel suicidal, (No shit? Ed.) more men kill themselves, the campaign group said.
Calm chief executive Jane Powell said: "Any of us can feel suicidal at some time, but not everyone is able to seek help."
They don't bloody need help. They feel sad for a while, they get over it. That's life. Now go and get proper jobs.

*It might even be a joke

They are. Income 2011: £153K. Of which from PCT's: £152 (£98K deferred to 2012.)

'from PCTs: £152K'

Those, presumably, being the same PCTs whose manifest shortcomings, inefficiencies and faults make a significant contribution to misery for millions of patients and their families.

'Research suggests'. Fucking hell I hate that phrase.

Sitting still is going to kill you, research also apparently suggests. That's it now isn't it? Smoking will kill you, not smoking but being within sight of a smoker will kill you. Drinking, fatty foods, too much water, not enough water, driving too fast, sneezing chickens, crispy bacon, 'dangerous' sports like rugby, too much rumpy pumpy, yada yada yada. And now, just doing nothing will also kill you.

Frankly it's not surprising so many people think about topping themselves when you get this constant stream of bullshit fed to you.

Well, my own research suggests that putting all these people into a big room with a bunch of ravenous wild boars would make me feel a lot calmer and less liable to contemplate repeatedly punching something whenever I hear what the latest 'research suggests'.

This year it was
o Westminister (£105k, £98k deferred,)
o Liverpool (£23.7k,)
o East Lancs (£19.7K,)
o Ashton, Leigh & Wigan (£5K)

(So none of the 'Big 14' that contributed to SFSW and tobaccotactics.org, which is something I suppose.)

PJH - Good spot. At least I now know that I'm justified in having a pop at the buggers. I honestly thought the whole thing may be a joke when I went on the website, it looks like it was written for teen Emos

Macheath - They cause enough misery just by giving our money to groups who would hector and bully us for our lifestyle choices.

Humph - That would do wonders for my blood pressure too

I often feel suicidal - usually when reading about yet another fake charity.

Who can I talk to? My local MP? I've tried that and just end up feeling worse.





I can't take any more....

Microdave - Then it's a self perpetuating charity. The more people that know about it, the more need it.

Oh and, don't do it!
