    Release of details regarding cause of death still be judiciously avoided. That pretty much means suicide, right? Only we're not allowed to say the word "suicide". Because if we do, apparently a whole bunch of people commit suicide.

    Shame that saying the words "volunteer at a homeless shelter" doesn't result in a spate of *that*.

    Elis Regina and Billy Holiday are by far greater singers than this woman. But like this woman, they each ended their own lives.

    Look at how little has changed in the last five centuries.

    Replace the word ‘witch’ with the word ‘crazy’, and replace reference to ‘killing’ with new medical terms such as ‘sectioned’ or ‘treated’ and what do you have? Traditional psychiatry.

    Replace the word ‘crazy’ with the term ‘borderline’ or ‘emotionally unstable’, and what do you have? Modern psychiatry.

    The links between the witch trials, organised religion and then psychiatry cannot be understated. The evidence is all there.

    The church set up the first asylums and psychiatric treatments in order to convert ‘sick’ people to ’cure’ them of madness and demons. The vast majority of those in there were women and girls, and minorities.

    Within a century, tens of thousands of people were locked in asylums being tortured and abused. This was the birth of the system we have today.

    by Dr Jessica Taylor who is a best selling author and feminist activist and educator (Legend)

    Sinead was not mentally ill she was traumatised and abused and labelled and stigmatised by psychiatry< Instead of therapy for the trauma she endured especially from the system.

    Sorry but so much not covered properly here. Why did her son take his life? No one is explaining this. I think very important. Because clear she took her own life, why too? Empty bollocks reporting from the BBC now. All about acolades and how there's 'no body like her' – which is true, we're all unique, – so depth is zero. RIP Sinead – think they should all really show us who you really are, not the talking points.

    She was always troubled & selfish to take her own life. How about her 3 children. What kind of activist was she to convert to islam where they don’t even count any women as a human.

    Just watched the documentary, jogged a lot of memories. She was ahead of her time. It’s too bad so many celebrities added to this kid’s troubles and vilified her the way they did, as if they were goddam saints or something (Madonna, Peschi).

    VanGough sending his ear to a hooker? Ernest Hemingway and Hunter Thompson blowing their brains out? Curt Cobain's ear-splitting racket about "angst"? This pathetic soul whining FOR YEARS about her miserable life? Is modern society ever going to weary of so called "artists" who make millions from their public misery only so the world can celebrate their "martyrdom"?

    ❤ she was strong in trying to break the evil catholic religion. They have done little boys so wrong for centuries. Sad to lose her, but a mother's love, goes byond a grave, the broken 💔 heart sometimes can't heal. RIP

US attacks and seizes Iranian vessel ahead of peace talks | BBC News

Published

on



The US has intercepted an Iranian ship entering the Gulf as part of its naval blockade, US President Donald Trump has said.

Iran said it was a violation of the ceasefire and it would retaliate soon for an “act of armed piracy”.

Ahead of Wednesday’s ceasefire deadline, the next phase of peace talks is now uncertain.

Meanwhile, a US delegation headed by Vice-President JD Vance will travel to Pakistan “soon”, a source told the BBC – but no timings are confirmed.

But Iran says it has “no plans for the next round” of negotiations in Islamabad.

The BBC’s chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet is reporting from Tehran on condition that none of her material is used on the BBC’s Persian Service. These restrictions apply to all international media organisations operating in Iran.

Published

Today, Adam joined Laura and Paddy to chew over the latest news from Iran, Scotland, and Downing Street.

Subscribe to our channel here: https://bbc.in/bbcnews

Ahead of the Prime Minister’s appearance in parliament, they discuss what we’ve learned today about what Sir Keir Starmer knew, or did not know, about the Lord Mandelson’s vetting by the foreign office. Laura spoke to cabinet minister Liz Kendall, who backed the PM and said that Starmer would have blocked the appointment of Lord Mandelson as US ambassador had he known he failed security vetting.

Elsewhere, negotiations continue between the US and Iran over the Strait of Hormuz. But is it actually currently open or closed? Has the ceasefire been breached? And what happens next? Paddy has been putting those questions to Lyse Doucet in Tehran.

Plus, Laura has been in Scotland speaking to voters and the party leaders about how those issues and others will affect which way voters go in the May elections.

Published

Sovereignty of the Falkland Islands “rests with the UK”, Downing Street has said, following a report the US could review its position on Britain’s claim to the territory.

An internal Pentagon email reported by Reuters suggested the US was considering options to punish Nato allies it believed failed to support its war on Iran.

The options discussed also included seeking Spain’s suspension from Nato over its opposition to the war.

BBC News, which has not been able to review the document, has contacted the Pentagon about it.

The suspect in the Golders Green stabbings was referred to the UK government’s counter-terrorism Prevent programme in 2020, it has emerged.

The programme is a key part of the UK’s counter-terror strategy, and places a legal duty on public bodies to identify people who may turn to extremism.

However, the Metropolitan Police also said they “will not be providing any further information in respect of this matter at this time”.
