Mental health care is in crisis.

WHO highlights urgent need to transform mental health care: I hope all countries take note:

Dévora Kestel, Director of WHO’s Mental Health and Substance Use Department called for change: “Every country has ample opportunity to make meaningful progress towards better mental health for its population. Whether developing stronger mental health policies and laws, covering mental health in insurance schemes, developing or strengthening community mental health services or integrating mental health into general health care, schools, and prisons, the many examples in this report show that the strategic changes can make a big difference.”

Has been since the tories closed all the mental health hospitals

We are getting to the point where England needs to ban all knives of any kind and only allow the public to use Sporks.

Romanian, no fixed address

Pity nobody enforces the 90 day 'right of visa free travel' that Romanian citizens get for the UK...I guarantee if I rocked up homeless in Romania, first time cop interaction would be a good beating, then further encouragement to # off back to the UK, fast.
We're too soft now, and too many human rights lawyers making a fortune defending foreign criminals

The court heard Pintaru is a Romanian citizen of no fixed address, while prosecutor David Burns said a woman and her 11-year-old daughter were in Leicester Square as tourists.

A man then "approached the girl, placed her into a headlock, he's then stabbed her eight times to the body", Mr Burns said.

He added she was wounded in the face, shoulder, wrist and neck area.

Mr Burns told the court the girl is still in hospital and will need plastic surgery.

We need to secure our borders and give all known migrants mental health checks , not only do we have our own homeless now it seems we are importing them ... No doubt the next tragedy is incoming.

The petition calling on Stalin to stand down now stands at 155,438.

Yesterday 125 illegal migrants from 3 boats were brought to England by the Border Farce , wonder how many more nutters out of the over 18.000 who have been brought here this year so far.

What on earth is going on when we have Romanian nationals - and Lord knows where else - roaming around our streets, living in no fixed abode and doing absolutely nothing positive whatsoever?
If he's NFA he most likely won't have a job, he certainly can't take up a place at a college or university. So what the hell is he doing here? He's certainly NOT contributing to society or helping to enhance and enrich our culture.

And spare me the tears about mental health. We all have issues - yes, some are far worse than others and those who genuinely suffer deserve our sympathy and to be treated with the greatest care.

But our mental health care system is over-burdened and not fit-for-purpose. (Not Starmer's fault....but he needs to start addressing it). We produce more than our fair share of people with mental health issues, why the hell are we compounding the problems by accepting anyone and everyone from anywhere without even the slightest regard or concern about their mental health?

Unfettered immigration and a crumbling health service are most definitely NOT Starmer's fault....but he'll be complicit if he he fails to try to address these core issues with a degree of honesty and transparency he seems to lack at present.

Interesting. Increasing mental health problems leading to crisis situations is now a global issue? What the hell is going on? Something in the water? Acid rain? Aspartmine? Cow farts?

The 11 year old girl stabbed by Romanian vagrant Ioan Pintaru is an Australian tourist according to the country's authorities.

The Australian foreign ministry disclosed her nationality on Tuesday and said it was offering assistance to the girl and her mother, who was with her at the time of the attack.

Both had been visiting London on holiday when they were set upon in the popular tourist district on Monday.
