Suicide is highly contagious. It triggers copycat deaths across both time & space. Especially if reported sensationally. Please share these guidelines from the Samaritans on how to responsibly report on suicide. They apply also to social media. Young people are particularly vulnerable. RIP Jason Arday. You were failed by so many including the media. Please don’t let this awful awful tragedy lead to more tragedy. media.samaritans.org/documen…

The guy who delightedly claimed to bring down Jason Arday, Nathan Cofnas, had his own work demolished as “unintelligible, wrong-headed …nonsensical” by nine more senior academics two years before Cambridge appointed him. He has argued that universities like Cambridge would have virtually zero Black professors if appointed solely on merit (which, funnily enough, is more or less what the supposedly ‘woke” Cambridge in fact has). He argues that Black people can only excel in sport and entertainment. A strangely under-covered aspect of this sad story prospectmagazine.co.uk/polit…

I don't want to “download the app” to pay for parking. I don't want to “create an account” to see a menu. I don't want to “provide feedback” on a 30-second interaction. I just want to exist in the physical world without a digital leash

Women who get paid by the state to tell other women that a “natural birth” is simply about courage and following your instincts make me want to vomit. This is the guilt inducing, navel gazing bollocks that has caused so much damage, women & babies have died!

Be careful what you say. Donald Trump: “Spain is a wasted cause”…“I don’t want anything to do with Spain.” Now he’s got to hand them the World Cup.

Dear FIFA TV Director, There's not a single football fan in the world who'd rather see Donald Trump sitting on his fat arse than the actual World Cup Final Ta Larry x
