Trigger warning. This is about Care Leavers dying. I've been stationary for two hours on a train in Retford. Someone's been discovered on the tracks due to mental ill health. Police and ambulance services are attending to the person. While here I received this news item from my friend Terry Galloway. It's about the high death rate of young care leavers. A care leaver is seventy percent more likely to take their own life. Two care leavers die each week. Nick Martin is in the news item. He is the journalist who made a sky doc about "Nonita" a care leaver who took her own life via train tracks. Terry Galloway is brilliant. . My train is still stuck in the station. I am tired.

“My inspiration for Eight Games is us - all of us - unified. When I see football crowds watching a game, I see the society I want to live in: people of all backgrounds supporting their team and each other, cheering together, laughing together, crying together. “Eight games is the maximum any nation can play at this World Cup. But however many we play, the whole tournament is a chance to create that magical feeling of unity, to lift each other's spirits and to show what we are capable of. “I am done with hatred, done with division and done with misplaced anger. Yes, our brilliant football teams may not win. But we can. We can win.”
