As I have noted previously, Tim Blair makes jokes about real life suicides and then tries to justify it by arguing you stop suicide contagion by laughing at it.
The latest - he responds to an ABC report, citing concerns by health professionals who have worked extensively on Nauru regarding depressed, self harming kids on the island, and tries to make a joke about it.
I guess the authorities on Nauru should be sending over copies of his post because of the public good it will do in preventing those kids from working out ways to try to kill themselves?
Or, more truthfully, Tim Blair should realise he's an immature disgrace who should give up his day job and do something useful for a change.
He simply crossed the line he did not see.
ReplyDeleteThe question is why did he not see it?
