Yeah that is a pretty clear case.  Even without a revenge porn law I would hope that is illegal.

So, Britain has criminalised "revenge porn". At least that is one criminal legislation, where I agree with David Cameron.

While I applaud the sentiment it seems to me it creates all sorts of bizarre gray areas.  People have to agree what 'porn' is, you have to qualify it as revenge and not posted consensually, blah blah.  Very messy.

That's true of all laws. It's what courts are for and what juries are for.

So two hours delayed after a set of almost unbelievably awful circumstances.

My train was initially stopped because there'd been a fatality ahead. Someone had sadly been hit by a train. So we started reversing to a small station on a bit of track near by (the stations ahead already had stationary trains in them).

Then someone on my train had a heart attack and mini-stroke (I overheard) and had to be taken off by the paramedics, but should be fine.

Then the most baffling thing was that after the body on the track had been dealt with another person was hit by the SAME TRAIN which meant we couldn't start as the train needed a 'fitter' to come out for something. I don't entirely knew what happened at this bit.

Anyway after that time I went to the nearby pub and got a cab to a town on a different route where I could pick up the line. According to the cabbie deaths on that bit of track are 'like clockwork'. It's mainly direct fast trains and the track is quite accessible. Again, according to the cabbie, there's a fair few young people killing themselves there

Ugh, never understood train suicides.  It's not always a fast death, and leaves a mess.  Body gets spooled up like pasta on a fork, and sometimes you're not quite dead just yet.

A feel good story for Seedy:

I'd like to pour them a Molotov cocktail.  Takes the edge off.

My finacial advice to them is buy their food at normal grocery stores and put the wife on Backpage for 300 a session.

In Cameron's Britain, what other options do young people have?

Suicide rates have climbed quite a bit since 2001 and young people seem to be more at risk than ever, as a proportion of suicides.

Bedhampton-Portchester area.

Over here, it's the 55-64 year old range that has seen the biggest jump in suicides since 2008.

Damn there's a lot happening recently, the Christchurch one, my local station, was just this morning.

Does this mean there's near a hundred or more a year in this country?

Them being laid on the scrapheap with no benefits until retirement?

He this government seems to have it particularly in for young people, you know the generation entirely not responsible for the financial mess.

Yeah, man.  So solly, thanks for playing.  Growing old and poor in America is not an option.

Things are tough all over.

Seeds, is there anything that makes you happy?
