The title is no pun intended
I read that fans of Leicester city were to be offered counselling after the tragic death of Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha .
I’m not saying folk won’t be upset but to spend much needed NHS money on this when the club is wealthy would be a travesty.
When dear old Lizzy finally passes on I’m sure there will be millions distraught and the extra money in the budget today for mental health services would be wiped out in a second.
We need to stop being so PC and teach people life is hard and unfair and sometimes bad things happen. We can never afford to make everybody feel warm and happy.
So learn to live with those that disagree with you and make an effort to look after yourself and stop expecting everything for free.
Churches, Mosques,Synagogues and Temples are good places to find help and consolidation for life’s trials even for the agnostic and atheists. Good places for quiet contemplation.
P.S P personally I’m not into the agnostics or the atheists but Hayhoe live and let live .

www.theguardian.com/football/2009/mar/15/hillsborough-disaster-survivorsIt's a trajedy, I suppose the Hillsborough disaster was worse. It's hard to remove trauma of painful memories, the crash site is too close to the Football stadium. Football is business, season ticket revenue is important to the club. Changing the stadium is far more expensive than counselling.

In answer to the question asked in the thread title: Yes. Yes it has. Unfortunately I think you are right and it is only getting worse.
I will have to ponder things.
Perhaps a good old Biblical Plague would focus people's minds.
It's a while since I played around with one of those

whilst its a tragic event and sad for all those families involved, most of these people had never met the deceased and i cant understand why they feel the need for counseling
its the same when any major celebrity dies, David Bowie EG. whilst its sad and all, i never personally met the guy and as such i only ever saw him through media. i can still watch the media and he is as much alive now as he was before his passing to me

Where's the press reference to fans being offered bereavement counselling Godanubis ? I can only find reference to players being offered it (which seems reasonable enough). |

Perhaps helicopters should be banned from flying over housing. Maybe it is a wake up call to remove planning rights for the things asap.

Hi it was at the end of a news report saying the team were offered counselling and after interviews with fans anyone else affected could contact local agencies.

The chance of dying from a helicopter dropping out of the sky on top of you is probably less than the chance of dying from falling off a ladder. Nobody calls for ladders to be banned.

sorry but its not me that needs to do the maths, you implied helicopters should be banned, now provide evidence that they constitute a greater risk than falling off ladders, all i see from yourself is an unsubstantiated knee jerk reaction to one event, which didnt actually cause any deaths to any third parties
also
your blanket ban of helicopters, do this include medical and coastguard ones that actually save lives ?

I think helicopters cause more risk to innocent bystanders than someone falling off a ladder. Maybe just ban fat people from ladders.

Looking at the section for Rotary wing , we see - crew: 18, passengers: 17, 3rd parties: 0 In each case the figure is the total over the 11 years
Compare that with ONS Mortality statistics (https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/query/construct/submit.asp?forward=yes&menuopt=201&subcomp=) for England & Wales for just 2017 cause of death W11 Fall on and from ladder: 38 (or even more worrying - cause of death W10 Fall on and from stairs and steps: 730)
If we're talking about average 3rd party deaths from helicopters vs (1st party) deaths from ladders - which I was - watch out for ladders!
If we're talking about maximum possible deaths per incident - which I wasn't - watch out for helicopters or (even worse) planes over London
