Name check from Mr Bone...

I don’t want to see any more pictures on Facebook of people living in caves or shanty towns in the uk or look at lists of people who have killed themselves cos of tory policies (Urban 75). I’d much rather see lists of tory bastards who’ve been hospitalised by mobs or lone grudgers.

Hmmm.... hospitalising tory bastards; that sounds like a potential "Prism trigger"

Thread is being noticed then. Nice find Brogdale

Don't be too much of a thread police. Posts like Brogdales above are informative too.

Oh, I see; that strict, eh?

Just thought that a reference to the thread in another forum was worthy of comment. I had no idea there were rules.

 

[treelover]

Only this one, I'm sure bereaved families will be reading it, threats to tories on other threads yes , here no.

I'll not argue the point further; just seems a tad ironic that in a thread about the tories killing us, we can't......

It's a dedicated thread, so the victims' stories wouldn't be buried under all the other chit-chat in the dozens of other threads

Witnesses tell of their shock after woman plunges to her death from car park roof 18 Jun 2013 17:45
An onlooker told the Birmingham Mail the woman was “very stressed” and , seconds before the fall, was shouting about the government, her house and child support

http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/local-news/witnesses-tell-shock-after-woman-4417272

Sadly, it looks like there has been another casualty of the cuts and economic crisis

When this happened in Spain it was all over the Uk media, this just gets on the local one.

I'll compromise.

thanks for posting that, really goes with the sombre theme of the thread which is for victims of the cuts 'reforms'.

This man is on hunger strike to the death after his money was stopped:

What a charmer.

Despite supporting his stance over ATOS/DWP, it doesn't sound like a negative conclusion to his hunger strike would necessarily be A Bad Thing for society at large.

Mind you, if some of his more outré statements are due to his PTSD (as suggested in the comments) perhaps I ought to feel about guilty about expressing the above.

Guy who should be on the sick for being a nutter expresses nutcase opinions - Way it goes, eh?

Not a suicide but a tragedy none the less.

Hi folks, Brum Against Cuts directed me here: I'm compiling a list of names of those lost to be read out on Aug 3rd outside Buck House as a memorial - nb not protest . (For further details see the We Shall Overcome FB page.)
I hope you don't mind me amalgamating names from here - thanks, Frankie Jack and others - with Calum's List etc. Acknowledgement shall be made.
Obviously, such a list can only be representative of the thousands who have lost their lives, but such an act is important.
Will let you know how things go.x

Crawley man killed himself after losing benefits

A protest was staged in memory of a Crawley man who committed suicide after losing his benefits.

Unemployed electrician Lee Robinson, 39, took his own life after his housing benefit and council tax benefit was taken away.

He is thought to be the first person in Sussex whose suicide is officially linked to recent benefits cuts.

Campaigner Richard Symonds, who helped organise the protest, said: “Lee Robinson was hounded to death by the very people who were supposed to help him live.

“Undoubtedly the DWP personified by Ian Duncan Smith and Lord Freud had a part to play in implementing the policies that would make Hitler proud.”...

story comes from the South Wales Argus on 27/09/13.
Suicide Verdict
A Blaenau Gwent man who warned Social Services he would kill himself if they stopped his benefits committed suicide, a coroner ruled yesterday.
Gavin Leigh McDonald, 30, from Cwm, had his benefits withdrawn after being deemed physically fit to work, the inquest was told. On April 15th he told his long-term partner Emma Wells that he was going for a walk, but did not return. Two men travelling past Aberbeeg on a train reported to police that they had seen someone near a river, where Mr McDonald was later found hanging. Wendy James, area coroner for Gwent, sitting in Newport, ruled that the cause of death was suicide.
