When someone screws up there is ...Here is my take.<br /><br />When someone screws up there is always a baying mob who say this or that person should be immediately sacked or hung out to dry. And I am sorry to say this but it is true, this sack em and throw away the key mentality is usually aimed at men who step out of line with some inappropriate un-pc comment they made 30 years previously. You usually get sponsors who threaten to pull out if said person is not strung up from the nearest lamppost and instead of being concerned about the power of sponsors we all praise the sponsor’s as socially responsible. I am against the sack em and throw away the key mentality. So I do not see why Caroline Flack should have been sacked. We also need sympathy for the perpetrators along with their victims, even those who commit domestic abuse.<br /><br />The CPS decision is not really an issue unless it can be proved that the CPS only brought this to trial because it was a celebrity and they wanted the publicity. After all it shouldn’t matter if the victim doesn’t want to press charges, the CPS may say, well this person is potentially dangerous to others so we need to progress this even if the victim doesn’t like it.<br /><br />My last point is the celebrities themselves. Their new motto is be kind! Be kind! In that case can we please have a re-run of the general election and maybe this time you lot vote for Corbyn and not the proto fascistic Tory party and maybe this time Philip Schofield you don’t post selfies with Boris Johnson, the leader of a part responsible for the biggest mass killing of Brits, some 130,000+ in the last 10 years. And as Engels said, that mass murder was premeditated. In fact the Tories to this day pat themselves on the back at how successful their austerity policies have been!<br /><br />And guess what I didn’t hear any of the celebrities on twitter saying be kind after some unknown worker had died on the job a day after the Tory fascists told him he was fit for work!<br /><br />And if the celebrities want to be kind maybe they should work to create a society that doesn’t allow one individual to earn in a month what others take a lifetime to earn<br /><br />Be kind, they are having a laugh! Don’t know about you but they just make you want to start shouting at them on twitter!<br />Deviation From The Meannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-43232493668083872412020-02-17T21:42:54.692+00:002020-02-17T21:42:54.692+00:00«but having been through depression, anxiety, and ...«but having been through depression, anxiety, and the terrible 'mental health services' that throw numbing psychiatric drugs at people, instead of 'compassion' and 'real care' my heart goes out to this beautiful young woman.»<br /><br />Are there any excuses that ever hold for domestic violence?

A lot of women and men who suffered and continue to suffer from domestic violence may not be feel encouraged by that. What next? A memorial by public subscription to Epstein who also killed themselves after a vicious hounding?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-72124890501440962612020-02-17T08:43:13.057+00:002020-02-17T08:43:13.057+00:00Great article.

She was also...Really good analysis of this tragedy. She was also on anti-depressants at one time in recent years, and had a bad reaction to them (as many do). This has been reported in the media. Whether she was on anti-depressants, or any other prescribed drugs (sleeping pills, benzos etc) at the time of her suicide - is unknown at this time, and perhaps we will never know (as often inquests don't reveal prescribed drugs - just illegal ones). <br />The Sun, and the tabloids, certainly played their part in causing her immense distress, and they should be ashamed of themselves- That's for sure. However, what seems to be missing from the coverage of her death is how 'mental health services' have also failed her. It seems she had said that she would kill herself to police. She had a history of depression, and anxiety etc. Why was she not getting adequate care?, and by care I mean- compassion, talk therapy, or even a good friend to call in on her, she if she was ok- give her a hug!. It seems she was failed by those around her in general, and especially in terms of her 'mental health'. By accounts in the media, she seems to have had a terrible time on anti-depressants, and often these drugs (I know from experience) can make people worse. I would be surprised if she wasn't on some kind of psychiatric drugs at the time of her death. It seems she also was drinking at the time of the alleged assault- if she was on an antidepressant too- this would be a recipe for disaster too- the two can't be mixed. She spoke of how 'numb' the antidepressants made her (this is a common side effect/effect that can increase suicidal risks also). Again, I don't know whether she was still on psych drugs at the time of her death, but it is possible. I didn't know much about her, until I heard of her death in the media, but having been through depression, anxiety, and the terrible 'mental health services' that throw numbing psychiatric drugs at people, instead of 'compassion' and 'real care' my heart goes out to this beautiful young woman. She seemed like such a bright, loving woman with so much to live for, and was unfortunate to be treated so shabbily by the gutter press, and the vicious industry that she gave her life to. I hope her soul is at peace now.
