Labours pledge to reduce suicide rates

[BoroRedKen]

How? How much?

Cannot for the life of me "get" how anybody can reduce the rate in reality.

Is SKS a shaman? Can he stop things like people dying? Other people getting depressed after losing someone?
The highest rate is males 20-45.

As a former Samaritan for 7 years NOTHING changed the figures and facts.

It sounds like SKS and Labour will be getting a new poster ready saying "Sunak likes people killing themselves".

Samaritans started in 1953 by Rev Chad Varrah in London. Its not a "12 years of a Tory Gov" problem.

A lot of people who like myself have a terminal illness are denied the right of a dignified death by euthanasia and choose to take their own lives rather than die a slow death in agony. This backward thinking country won't allow it of course, they'd sooner people suffer ' the mps who block it will just tip their Hartley Street quack the wink when they want to check out.

My mother and sister both had a terminal illness,you wouldn't let an animal suffer so why should people. Politicians like Doris Karloff voting against the right to die on religious grounds is all wrong.Good luck to you ebeneezer.

Thanks for the kind comments lads' hope you don't think I'm full of self pity because far from it' I've accepted the inevitable and just getting on with it as up to now I'm still more or less ok. I've believed in assisted dying for donkeys years and have witnessed my mother die an awful death with cancer plus a couple of mates' a few other European countries have it now as well as Australia so why not here? If I had the option I would without doubt take it when I became ill and so would thousands of others. Are we scared of upsetting the muslim hordes or something because they're against it?
