Apparently she is eligible for Bangladeshi citizenship....her father says she has never been there, but that doesn't wash....she had no connection to Syria but decided to live there. Bangladesh will be nearer to her ideal society, so can't see her problem.
We were asked by CALM to remaster Fable’s track, Silence Myself, for a campaign about this. We told them we didn’t want payment for it as it was such an important cause. They were going to use real suicide notes from men over the music (obviously people who didn’t go through with it). I saw the video and it was hugely powerful, but they pulled it at the last minute as they feared it might trigger people.
Yeah, I did argue the case that you can’t really identify triggers as they are specific to individuals, but to no avail. I think it would have been a massively powerful campaign.
Not the remastered version, but it was this track, so if you imagine suicide notes over the top of this, it’s quite something.
Meant to post that yesterday....I loved the Monkees. Will have their theme tune in my head for the rest of the day now. Gave a lot of people some joy....not a bad epitaph.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-47323045 A flypast to remember an American aircrew who died because kids were playing in the field they were trying to land in. Have read this story before...the pilot tried to wave the kids away, but they just waved back so he diverted the plane into a wood and all the crew died. One of those kids has since dedicated his life to making sure they are never forgotten...and this flypast was arranged after his story was told.
I don't understand why managers giving their players a dressing gown at half time helps their second half performance?

Just walked into the local and asked for some helicopter flavour crisps. “Sorry mate.” The barman said “We’ve only got plane!”
I think that there have always been scumbags around, we just see so much more because of smartphone cameras. Bastards have been suspended, and I hope it leads to sacking.
I have never heard of this, before today, but it is seriously sick. Anyone with young children or grandchildren should have a look, as this is being hacked into children’s videos, such as Peppa Pig, available on YouTube. I will be warning my son, as my grandson often watches YouTube by himself, including Peppa Pig. https://www.syracuse.com/us-news/20...of-threats-hidden-in-kids-youtube-videos.html
