Paul you introduced the whole suicidal teenagers issue to this debate, 2.5hrs earlier, why?
I think it was unnecessary, and contributes nothing.
I feel justified to call this out as politicizing mental health issues in teenagers, and I don't like it!

Whatever the "bullying left" does, they must not be seen to be giving the no voters a bit of a nudge, a few gentle words of encouragement, to get them to think that a yes vote may actually make a meaningful difference to young people's lives. No siree, we must just sit back, and let the tragedy unfold before our very eyes. Because we mustn't tell anyone that they may actually be wrong, or making a very poor judgment. Tut, tut. We don't want to upset anyone, or be perceived as patronizing, or god forbid, paternalistic. It's all about my feelings, my opinions, my rights.
As I have learned many times over the journey, sometimes my feelings, opinions and beliefs may actually be wrong, or may have been right at one time, but not in the present.
