    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

The Canadians who want out of Canada | BBC News

Published

on



As Canada continues to wage a trade war with the US, an internal battle is being fought over the country’s identity. Next month, voters in Alberta, the country’s wealthiest province, face a referendum on whether they want the opportunity to explore a separation from Canada.

Supporters say Alberta would thrive on its own, because of its rich reserves of oil and natural gas. Prime Minister Mark Carney has warned that independence would lead to years of economic and political turmoil, “right at a time the world is fundamentally uncertain.”
How might the Trump administration leverage this Canadian identity crisis? And how is the Alberta separatist movement complicating Carney’s “Canada Strong” messaging? Nadine Yousif, the BBC’s senior Canada reporter, explains.

UK to sign deal to send asylum seekers to Rwanda for processing – BBC News

Published

on



UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to unveil plans that will see some asylum seekers flown to Rwanda in order to have their asylum applications processed.

The trial scheme would mean single men arriving in Britain via Channel crossings could be forcibly removed.

Refugee organisations have criticised the plans as cruel and urged a rethink.

The deal is expected to see the Rwanda, which is part of the Commonwealth, given an initial £120m as part of a trial, but opponents say the annual cost of the full scheme would be far higher.

Will the Houthis tank the global economy? | BBC News

Published

on



Over the last week, the Houthis – an Iran-backed militant group in Yemen – have captured two strategic islands along the Red Sea coast, consolidating its control of a key international shipping route known as the Bab al-Mandab strait.

Saudi Arabia has relied on access to the strait for exporting its oil to customers in Asia. With the Strait of Hormuz already closed due to the Iran war, the Houthis’ control of this vital waterway threatens to deepen the global oil supply crisis.

Tristan Redman is joined by the BBC’s Security Correspondent Frank Gardner to unpack who the Houthis are, what they want, and how they have come to hold so much influence on the world’s economy.
