No-one is claiming that all the suicides are asian women.

So far, neither of the two latest seem to be confirmed suicides rather
than accident or misadventure.

All that there is at Hayes & Harlington Station are a few grubby
Samaritan posters. These are not even written in the local Asian
languages - but only in English.

There would be no point in having Samaritan posters in Urdu if there are
no Urdu-speaking volunteers to take a call.

The Samaritans are not the only organisation involved. The available
posters might depend on various factors such as whether they have been
requested by the railway companies (in which case they might need to
ask a few more people for help) or have been limited by over-selective
provision of free space (if any is actually provided) for such
posters.

I suppose appealing to so-called "community leaders" to intercede with the
appalling mismatches is out of the question?

Speaking of the 4'th suicide in as many months, John McDonnell MP H&H
stated "We need to get everyone around table and examine all possible
measures we can take to stop this from happening, because it has got
to a point where we can't just stand back."

Can't stand back. Ho ho ho.

Yet John has been trying and failing to get FGW and Network Rail
management to such a meeting for over a year. BOTH ORGS ARE DRAGGING
THEIR FEET ON THE ISSUE.

What the hell does he expect FGW or Network Rail to do about what is
clearly a social problem in that one little area? Close the station and
bury the track in a tunnel? Even that won't work, people will just find
other even more inconsiderate ways of topping themselves.
