Stunning. So sad. Very courageous of MM as it shows men do want to talk so frankly. Sharing his daughter's pain. We need more folks like this. Redundancy and working mother who loved life. RIP darling. No stigma4suicide

These are things we cannot understand and should not try, but just try to be good friends and on the alert. But mind gets confused and goes down a deep dark place where there is no way out. If you have worked through times when you have to lay off people, be on alert. The word "redundancy" is disgusting - "I would like to have your smiling face, will give you my best recommendations, but we cannot afford to pay your salary and have to let you go so others can make use of your skills and pay you."

Also heard Michael give an interview to Phil Williams on BBC 5 Live earlier this week, I wish him well I'm so sorry for his devastating loss, as someone who teeters near the edge, I thank him so much for his devotion to help many others dealing with suicide x

A friend told me about this programme and the silence of suicide. I lost one daughter because of suicide when she was 18 (many years ago) and then my youngest daughter was run over and died as a young woman. Work and friends are the greatest help, but no-one ever recovers. Sadness, like pain, has to be absorbed. Eventually turning to valuing life.

Michael Mansfield : a GOOD man. 'Maximum respect, Sir'. Enough said.

Powerful stuff

So impressed with Mr Mansfield for communicating in this way. I have always been a fan of Michael Mansfield but now my estimation of him goes to another level.

Perhaps in a social context, making suicide 'criminal' helped to prevent a large number of people in crisis doing it? There were interesting exchanges in Hansard in the run up to the 1961 Suicide Act (not the 67 one) in which it emerges that the 'criminalisation' had little or nothing to do with ''religion' but originated from a single case. A person who killed themselves had all their belongings handed over to the Crown, leaving their families in penury. And of course, a lot of people made suicides look like 'accidents' to avoid insurance clauses that left widows with no money - Coroners still do this now (with best of intentions in majority of cases).

I love this guy, he's brought hope to so many people who feel that the game is rigged against them when dealing with the establishment 'which it is of course' until someone like Micheal Mansfield is on your side and doesn't play their game. Massive respect. But in regards to this tragic story: to reply that he has to respect his daughters wishes only further displays a unique and great man, with his own mind and great empathy. As a scouser, regarding the Hillsborough inquest alone I'll always love him. Although I have to say that I recognised him as a man in a league of his own before that. I only hope he inspires more of his kind to honour their oaths to law and justice, and not just the ones to their fellow freemason or whatever other cabal of sh$t they're part of. I hope Micheal Mansfield goes on to have a long, peaceful and happy life.

I don't share Mansfield's politics, but I do admire the guy.

The system.... the way we live... and have to struggle. This isn't life. It is a prison planet. We get one life....... and for the majority we struggle just to make ends meet. Why the fuck with bad health...... and no support.... would someone want to continue on. This is what you get. Change this planet!!!!

I meant to say that I thought it very brave of Torly to take a step which I doubt that I could do. And certainly I agree with no stigma4suicide.
