The tragic history of suicides in the town and the search for an explanation.
The town of Bridgend
The former mining town, population 39,000, has struggled to attract new industries. The claimant count in Bridgend is 9%, the second highest in Wales, with many on incapacity benefit. Historically, it has had a high suicide rate and, as a coastal town with high unemployment rates, a high rate of suicide among young males might be expected.

Did you hear the one about the exploding Iraqi women?
Two women walk into two separate pet markets in Baghdad with a box of birds. They walk up to a vendor and say: "I hear you are enjoying something of a boom in birds these days, how much will you give me for these specimens?" Before the vendor can reply a large explosion destroys most of the stalls in both markets, killing one hundred people and maiming hundreds more. Later that day a report of the events appears in all of the world's newspapers...
The news that more than 1,000 requests a day are made to "intercept" our phone calls, post and email should come as no surprise to anyone observing Britain's rapid descent into mass surveillance. What may be more of an eye-opener is the extent to which the Government has systematically embedded secrecy, incompetence and spin into the process.
The state can intrude into our communications in three distinct ways. It can bug our phone lines, it can open our mail and it now has the ability to access our phone and email records, discovering everything about our calling patterns, email usage and our networks of friends and colleagues. This latter innovation has become an epidemic.
