Campaigner accuses banks of adding to suicide crisis

Comment: Thought and Action stated before that not all bankers are banksters but speak to the person at the customer service desk of your local bank and they will go white with fear when asked about certain topics about banking. Others will stare at you with a blank face. The reality is that banks and bankers have blood on their hands.

The stark reality is that people must fight. Many will keel over. Sadly many people have killed themselves. This is never the moral thing to do. It is a David v Goliath battle but many are fighting the banks. It is important to remember a person is not alone. Support is available.

The “help” the banks are offering is in reality smoke and mirrors. Your ‘friendly’ and ‘caring’ bank manager knows the swindle of modern banking, they know the menace of banking, and these bankers have entire nations and people enslaved in debt. The politicians are the glove puppets of the Usurers.

Campaigner accuses banks of adding to suicide crisis

A man who lost two brothers to suicide has accused banks of contributing to the suicide crisis.

Suicide prevention campaigner Pat Buckley, a co-founder of the Let’s Get Together Foundation in Midleton, Co Cork, made his comments as he staged a graphic dawn protest on Cork’s St Patrick’s Bridge yesterday.
He said lending institutions “have blood on their hands” for putting pressure on people crippled by debt and already struggling to cope with the recession.

“People just can’t cope anymore,” said Mr Buckley. “The lending institutions in this country are pressuring people struggling under huge debts.
“Family members are struggling with mortgages and debt. That’s what’s killing people now. And the Government isn’t doing enough to help.”
Mr Buckley has lost two brothers to suicide. Mark took his own life in Jun 2002 aged 30, and James took his life in Sept 2003 aged 22. They are buried side by side in Midleton.

Moved by their deaths, Mr Buckley helped set up the Let’s Get Together Foundation — a voluntary suicide support group that has helped fund counselling for hundreds of people.
However, he said he has seen little or no improvement in national suicide rates. “It’s actually getting worse,” said Mr Buckley. “We reckon it’s now nearly four people a day who take their own lives.

“And we think the suicide figures are way above what is reported. My actions today were borne out of sheer frustration at the lack of an adequate State response to the problem. We really need to get people talking about it to normalise it and to find a solution.”
He was joined by Galway man Colm Farrell, who completed the 32 County Suicide Awareness Walk last week after almost four months on the road.
“I walked through villages and towns in every county and met a lot of families affected by suicide,” said Mr Farrell.
“I heard their stories and they told me that nothing is being done in this country about the problem.”

Meanwhile, Mad Pride Ireland has launched an independent fellowship based on the 12-step approach used by Alcoholics Anonymous to try to deal with the suicide crisis.
Suicide Anonymous Ireland will host its first meeting at the SMA community centre in Wilton, Cork City, at 8pm on Friday.
