Mental health services in the UK are shocking. We're very happy to let our young people languish for years without diagnoses or medication, with no safety net or social services. We would rather our young people die, than get help, then get treated, than get into employment. Thanks UK Government.

Absolutely gutted. One of the greatest frontmen I've ever seen, one of the funniest fuckers I've ever interviewed, responsible from some of the greatest electronic bangers ever to thwack the world and, I feel, he never had his dues. RIP Douglas McCarthy. thequietus.com/news/douglas...
