[10/01, 11:13] David Norris: Hello, I wonder how you and family are keeping? Be nice to catch up. I will be getting in touch soon. In connection with a freedom of information request; as you work in the national statistics office. Talk later, David
[11/01, 20:53] cousin: Hi, Sorry can't talk at the moment, still working, we publish stuff soon. We are all fine, hope you are too. I don't work at ONS allow, I'm in another dept. What foi is it?
[11/01, 21:12] David Norris: Oh sorry no problem. I have some information which is a few years old - Pre Covid-19.
[11/01, 21:27] David Norris: I am trying to obtain statistics related to fathers in the UK and parental suicide. Before Covid-19, it appears that approximately 0.6% of so-called "paying parents" ended their own lives and I am trying to obtain more up to date details. This is because I have been writing a book on the subject of the reprehensible way that fathers are treated in the United Kingdom, having come close to losing my own life in this way. I would like to know what, if any, effect the recent pandemic had (mental health issues, domestic violence, the school performance of children, rates of alcohol and drug misuse, homelessness and inequality all increased during the pandemic - all issues related to what I am trying to research. The whole situation makes me angry (I have kept my own daughters, no 16 and 13 shielded from the truth) but I also narrowly avoided losing my own life due to liver failure, My daughters admire my courage and strength of charactor and tell me things they would not dare tell their mother!
[11/01, 21:36] David Norris: What is more, I have a plan to modernise my own family (I am appalled at how my own mother is living but fell powerless here and am working on a plan to teach in China for a longer period (I have previously taught at the Yancheng institute of technology in Jiangsu province north of Shanghai - and I plan to teach in China for a longer period to save to launch the business I wish to do. (Not in the UK however!). China pays teachers well and has very low living costs. And - I am increasingly confident I may remarry after all, but that is a possibility. I have shied away from the idea for many years for obvious reasons. I think I can pull off quite a few surprises. Incidentally, the probable title of my book will be "When the Nightmare Came". I believe far too many suffer in silence - and as a member of two support organisations feel that suffering in silence is the worst course of action possible.
[11/01, 21:50] David Norris: Just one more thing. My mother says I "should be loyal to my own country" - but I will not listen to someone who is living in a rubbish filled house, votes for the very people who concoct the very system which made me homeless and brought me to the brink of suicide after I had been robed at knife-point (and I almost lost an eye in this incident) and has never even been in the workforce for half a century. I am determined not to meekly accept my fate as my mother does; instead I believe honest people should be encouraged to speak out. I think that the issues raised should be fully in the public consciousnesses. Dues the fact that the CMS has a written procedure for dealing with actual, attempted and threatened parental suicide tell you something about the nature of this organisation? And - how will my own daughters react to knowing the full truth when old enough to be told it? Rest assured - I will not go quietly into the night and am laying the groundwork to build a new life overseas. I am hopeful I can obtain the statistics required. David
