Another Suicide at Hayes & Harlington
Last Friday week there was a suicide - 'person hit by a train' - at
West Drayton on the FGW main line. Now there has been yet another suicide at H&H on Sunday night at about 21.50. Speaking of the 4'th suicide in as many months, John McDonnell MP H&H stated "We need to get everyone around table and examine all possible measures we can take to stop this from happening, because it has got to a point where we can't just stand back." Yet John has been trying and failing to get FGW and Network Rail management to such a meeting for over a year. BOTH ORGS ARE DRAGGING THEIR FEET ON THE ISSUE. FGW management is not interested due to likely not renewing its franchise next year. Network Rail management is just arrogant and refuses to attend any meeting to do with any issues on this line whatever they are. Of course Crossrail is in the wings - so they should be concerned too. The suicides are partly cultural - Google 'community southall suicides' - there's a damning report about this focusing on the failure of arranged marriages between Western highly-educated women and their appointed partners who usually come from rural backwaters in Asia. Inevitably it is the women that sadly decide suicide - sometimes with the kids in tow. Yet they are also partly due to the economic climate - job losses, unemployment, feelings of being unable to cope, financial cut-backs of support agencies, etc. All that there is at Hayes & Harlington Station are a few grubby Samaritan posters. These are not even written in the local Asian languages - but only in English. Cash-strapped Hillingdon Council offered to pay for extended CCTV at the Station, but Network Rail did not even bother to acknowledge the offer. The money has likely been reallocated. But then there is no use for CCTV is no-one bothers to monitor it in real time. The staff at H&H seem to prefer sitting in their cozy staff room. Some of the suicides have been from the normally gated and locked platform 1 (down fast). So what where the staff doing when unauthorised individuals have gained access to platform 1? Obviously nothing. I fear that this issue will not be easily solved. CJB. |

Distress in the woman being the cause who can't see any other way out of a bad situation. -- Clive |

They've probably never heard of the Samaritans, and couldn't return to their family back home as that would lose too much face. |

The Samaritans are not the only organisation involved. The available posters might depend on various factors such as whether they have been requested by the railway companies (in which case they might need to ask a few more people for help) or have been limited by over-selective provision of free space (if any is actually provided) for such posters. |

This picqued my interest. But I find the local paper reported the previous 3 deaths at Hayes and Harlington as Keith Coutinho, 26, Enzo Belluccia, 35, and Antonio Martinez, 20. It also reported the death of Jason Biggs, 41, at West Drayton and Nigel Fisher, 56, on the tracks. None of those strike me as manifestly likely to speak Urdu and to be stuck in an arranged mariage with an uneducated husband. -- Robin reply to address is (meant to be) valid |

I wonder if the way that the local papers report these suicides is the factor, rather than the ethnicity of the victims? Didn't something like this happen recently in South Wales? |

They monitor their spouses. They can only monitor their spouse if they spouse writes something to be monitored. Perhaps spouse should get a brain. Many people today have their support networks tied almost inextricably to Facebook (and to some extent Facebook-alikes). Cutting themselves off from that isn't an option. Oh BS. If thats really the case they need to get a life and probably have more to worry about that people abusing them. ps It's quite interesting to see you trotting out the classic redneck responses, by the way. Makes me even more sure it's attitudes like yours which need to be addressed. Anyone whose life depends on social media is a loser. I have zero sympathy.

A handy reminder whose target audience does not inevitably have practical control of every cause. The general distinction of an "accident" is the lack of specific intention for the event to have happened thus possibly in accord with the current tendency to describe many unfortunate events instead as "incidents" unless/until displaced by later verified certainty. While all accidents have causes, in many cases the cause might be chiefly the opportunity for the event to have happened with minimal contribution from the actors (and umpteen other combinations of opportunity, intent, culpability etc.). |

This attitude of "stupid victims" really annoys me. Are you stupid for being a victim of delayed trains? Oh give it a rest. I can't do much about a delayed train but I can prevent someone getting access to my computer if I bother to spend 5 friggin minutes reading up about setting passwords. If its a shared computer then don't use it, use a phone instead. Or are they not allowed to use the phone either? Oh BS. If thats really the case they need to get a life and probably have more to worry about that people abusing them. The people in question aren't allowed "a life" (in the outside world) by their spouses. That's the whole problem. So who are these people? Asian women who apparently know nothing about getting help yet are savvy with computers and social networking which their husbands are happy for them to use? I'm sure you'd say they should run away, but there are significant social and economic restraints. Like what? If they're legally in the country they'll be given benefits and shelter if they leg it. If they can use a computer they should easily be able to find that out. I have zero sympathy. That's obvious. Why don't you just offer to push them under a train? Ah, the absurd extrapolation approach to debate. Yeah, that really works well. If you think thats a redneck attitude then that makes a lot of rednecks in the UK. Many wrongs doesn't make a right. Well you can thank idiot liberal politicians for allowing 3rd worlders to come and live here dragging their medieval cultures with them. Perhaps the same grand worthies might like to sort out the mess they created. B2003 |
