ONS published adult suicide statistics by profession for the last 5 years earlier this week and hanging is far and away the most popular method of suicide in the UK. Men also kill themselves substantially more often than women

crispix posted:I think at some we will need an honest discussion about liberalising suicide tbh. Suicide for liberals should be encouraged. (If you feel suicidal you should go talk to someone, either a friend or something like the Samaritans, and you should also arrange to see your GP as soon as possible so you can get the medical help you need. If you feel really suicidal and are actually contemplating doing it, the guidance suggests you should call 999.)

J_RBG posted:Something quite weird and ghoulish in presenting the wide range of nationalities represented among the victims of an atrocity as a positive of that atrocity imho, the lives of foreigners being only worthy of our attention by being smashed into by a car, and even then their existence here is thanks to the benevolent virtue of our beloved English capital I think we ought to use this opportunity to take some pride in our capital's wide, well maintained pavements.

Guavanaut posted:There's a way to commit suicide that does cost the state. Going to prison also costs the state and includes free meals and shelter. The proportion of women and the over-50s in prisons is rising, it's going to be the new Old People's Home.

Guavanaut posted:Suicide is kinda liberalised, but in the worst kind of way. It's legal unless you're so ill that you need someone to help. Unless you're royalty. I think they pumped Edward VII with enough morphine to kill an elephant when it was his time to shuffle off, apparently partly motivated by a desire for the death to be reported in the morning edition of the Times. The Graun did a Long Read on royal death and succession just recently.

I'm torn between lethal injections for aristocrats being a good thing and it being unfair that terminally ill proles aren't afforded the same right to die.

Sounds like a splendid initiative, if the Times could arrange to do that sort of journalism more often I'd subscribe to their website without hesitation.

Good/bad idea? It's a pretty terrible one TBH. You can potentially get into gold futures instead, but a still better idea would be to buy index fund stocks in dollars, you get your currency speculation and you can actually make some money on the stocks too! Or you know don't ask about financial advice on comedy forums. But the above will almost certainly be better than buying shitload of gold, particularly physical gold. e: Or if you really want to there's another subforum for it with lots of people giving each other financial advice, so maybe ask there.

Gorn Myson posted:Theresa May should get a map of the Middle East (minus Israel and Saudi Arabia), blindfold herself and then throw a dart at it. Whatever country that dart lands on, we invade them. Could even broadcast this on a Saturday night on ITV. Get 50 minutes of adverts and vignettes of May practising throwing a dart before the big act itself. can't we just invade saudi arabia instead its by far the most deserving of anywhere in the middle east

Vaporizing the body and scattering the limbs to make both the traditional Muslim and Hindu burial rites impossible is about what you'd expect from British cultural sensitivity.

For a sketch writer Quentin Letts is a loving terrible writer:quote:"I work in an office under Big Ben. It offers a fine view normally - but yesterday a view of death, a vile vista of a violence we might wish to call medieval, but is sadly all too 21st Century. Normality can be snuffed out in seconds.
