The only good I hope can come from Caroline Flack's death is that we collectively, finally review our responsibility towards other people's mental health. People dont simply fall down in a vacuum.

When will @pret step up and a) admit responsibility and b) guarantee ACCURATE food labelling? Horrific death of 15-yr-old Natasha Ednan-Laperouse could have been avoided - and they KNEW baguette contained sesame. Anaphylaxis caused by false labelling must be taken seriously.

Dangerous analysis from the Telegraph here about Wayne Couzens. Fact is, most misogynists ARE 'family men'. That's how commonplace misogyny is.

Rather disturbed by a psychotherapist who argued against me in a debate about the porn ban this AM on BBC Radio Wales. He wrote off all porn as troublesome, with BDSM and 'Fifty Shades'-style sex abnormal... I thought therapists understood the debilitating effect of shame?

Lord knows I've had my own struggles with mental health including a full on psychotic breakdown when I very nearly took my own life. The kindness of strangers quite literally saved it when doctors couldn't diagnose what was wrong. And we can all be kind strangers. Always.
