Yes he should have been resuscitated.
So he doesn’t want to live – big deal, keep him alive for as long as possible. If people like Tony Nicklinson and Diane Pretty and others like them are denied the right to die, why the hell should Ian Brady have that right?
Maybe you have to go to the Blackpool meet to collect it…
It’s a sensitive topic, poli has expressed a controversial view that several people disagree with…why is expressing that disagreement seen as poli-bashing?
reminds me of another forum where someone said “if you don’t agree with the opening poster you shouldn’t post on the thread”… :?
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
Victims need to be heard, they need to be believed, they need to be supported otherwise they become victims all over again. I also think that a very clear message needs to be sent out that no matter who you are, no matter how famous and influential, no matter how much good work you do, this kind of behaviour can never be acceptable and can never be ignored or excused. No, nothing can be done about Jimmy Savile himself, but something good has to come out of all this badness. And yes, it will happen again, undoubtedly, but hopefully the next time the victims will feel able to come out sooner and people won’t discount it because of who the abuser is.

Oooooh … is there a wedding list?
is it at Quality Save or Home Bargains?:lol:
Wonder if merry can get some bogof confetti from Lidl?
The wedding list is at the pound shop…after all, Axante is rich enough to have already bought all the expensive stuff :wink:
Do you really think that a victim of abuse can just pick themselves up, dust themselves down and move on, forget it? Really? Because if you do, naive is not the word.
I am speechless.
So abuse victims who didn’t come forward years ago should now keep quiet if their abusers are dead or “too old to be a threat”? When is a man too old to be a threat?
And if you don’t think it would be brushed under the carpet now if someone was influential enough…well there isn’t anything more to be said is there?
Tell me…your child comes to you as an adult and breaks down, they tell you that they were abused as a child 20 years ago but were too afraid to say anything at the time and it still haunts them. Their abuser is now in their 70s or dead. What are you going to say to your child?
Well sorry love, you should have said something at the time, it’s too late now that he’s dead/too old to be a threat to anyone else so lets just forget about it and move on shall we? Nothing to be gained from going back to it, waste of time and energy…
