A body found in the search - obviously not identified yet but you’d imagine it must be her
Closure for the family, but not the closure anyone would have wanted - so sad |  |

There's a piece on the Guardian website from 3 days ago about the release of the (in my view entirely unnecessary) information about the missing lady's health/private life which ends as follows:
"An underwater search expert, Peter Faulding, who was helping to try to find Bulley, said police did not pass his team the information, which he says would “have changed search strategy”."
So, the bloke who said that the police were doing it wrong and that if she was in the river his team would have found her now says that actually they would have looked in a different way had they known this information about her. You were either looking properly for a body in the river or you weren't as far as I can tell. |
I think the police were stuck on that, theyd be criticised if they hadnt released it, just as much as they have for releasing it, it was crucial ultimately as to the focus of their lines of enquiry and why they werent doing the things that the media circus was almost demanding they should.
of course they wouldnt have had to release it, had everybody just let them get on with investigation and not turned the whole thing into some amateur Miss Marple/Poirot hour fuelled by the likes of the diving expert and the whole retired police force it seemed endlessly speculating in the news that the police were doing a bad job. |  | | |

I can see there might conceivably have been fair reason for them to circulate her struggle with alcohol - eg to alert off-licence employees - but certainly not her medical details. |  |

I felt a little sorry for the police being criticised for having revealed personal information, when that was only an attempt to quieten down the absurd storm of wild speculation surrounding the case. |
There was absolutely zero need to mention the menopause in that, even if they had said alcohol issues related to mental health it would have been fairer on her and the family - everyday sexism | |

Yes, should have said “other” medical details in my post above. | |

Seems to me this was done in agreement with the family as a justification for her relapse and recent issues.
The release of this information was to prevent further information releases and gossip on social media and stories being sold to the press.
Unfortunately it seems this was the lesser evil to devalue and head off others, very sad but I totally understand why the police and family decided to do this. |  |

And also, I think, to prevent some noxious money grabber from selling that story. |
Would be nice if the way to stop some money grabbing tw@t from selling the story was no media outlet being willing to buy it.
One of them would have though. |  | | |

Not just twitter. Noggin was putting forward a pretty distasteful theory about her disappearance before Phil quickly took it down.
I’ve lost count if the number of Madeleine McCann posts on here. Some people get their kicks from other people’s heartache and pain. [Post edited 19 Feb 2023 17:11]

Not just Noggin. When I pointed out how distasteful the post was, and how the family would feel, a number of posters suggested there was no problem since did I really think they would read posts on TWTD !

It was my understanding they did it because one of the papers was going to release that information so they decided to get out in front of it instead of letting a newspaper do it.
Horribly sad situation all round though. I do wonder whether having this as a sensational news story for day after day actually helped in the end though. [Post edited 20 Feb 2023 7:44]

But it could quite easily have cited 'mental health' issues as opposed to linking it to her sexual reproductive status which is very private and particular. | |

Regardless of the rights and wrongs of releasing her records, hopefully this starts a real public awareness of how the menopause affects so many women.
My Mrs is currently going through it and she is extremely depressed. She is struggling to concentrate (brain frog), can’t sleep etc. it’s very frustrating for her as she runs her own business and deals with all the household paperwork, kids insurance (one of which she completely screwed up on) etc.
The Nicola Bulley incident has opened up a conversation in our household to the extent that I’ve said to her that if she ever felt that it was becoming too much for her then please talk to us.
I’m not speculating that Nicola Bulley took her own life because of any mental health issues. The full facts will eventually come out, but I hope that husbands across the country are having the same conversations that we are in the GB household. Because it is an issue that us blokes really have no understanding of. |  |

Ok, after careful reflection, I would like to apologise for my earlier post where I stated my gut feeling on the case. I never stated what I believed had happened to Nicola, but I accept my post was in bad taste. Once again, apologies to those I have upset. |  |

I suppose they thought it gave a more respectable explanation for her alcohol issues. When you have so much sh1t swirling around on the internet and in the media, it's very easy to make a misstep. Especially if, as some have suggested, the information was coming out anyway. The police would have been criticised for not talking about it under those circumstances (indeed we now have the underwater search expert having a go because he apparently wasn't told). |  |

He came across as a right berk. I bet he's not so cock sure of his ability now (or he probably is, but everyone can see he's also a bullsh*tter). |  |

I have just read that article and found this within it: "The King's College research suggests that four in five people do recognise that serious terror attacks have occurred in the UK.
But, when asked specifically about the Manchester and 7/7 bombings, a significant minority - one in seven people surveyed - have doubts about whether those attacks even happened at all.
And more than one in 10 of those surveyed think the Manchester Arena attack was a hoax."
I am flabbergasted by those stats. |
Had an apprentice work with me a few years back - in Manchester - and she thought 7/7 happened in Manchester.

A not uncommon situation GB and one for which many women are, I think, unprepared let alone their nearest and dearest.
It is becoming more spoken about but still much to do. | | | |

A lot of people watched The Matrix and thought it was some kind of documentary. Because it confirmed ideas that the poor state of the world was not their fault, but down to "dark forces" and gave an easy way out of their own powerlessness by dipping into fantasy. It's a lot less effort than political or social activism. | |
