I was watching a movie and a friend messaged me... was going to post a thread.
Very sad news, another friend of mine knew them back in the day. He'll be hurting.

It's tough mate... going to elderly relatives' funerals is one thing, going to that of a friend is a whole other ball game.
Strength to you Biffer, condolences on the loss.

Was arrested, released on bail and has now done a runner...David in Gwent wrote: Mon Jul 29, 2024 9:23 am Tommy Robinson has been arrested on terrorism charges, which is going to be very interesting.
Tommy Robinson has left the country after committing “flagrant” contempt of court relating to a film played at a protest in central London, the High Court has been told.
An arrest warrant has been issued for Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, after he did not appear at the Royal Courts of Justice on Monday for a hearing in his latest contempt of court case.
The Solicitor General launched legal action against Robinson in June over an alleged breach of a court order after he lost a libel battle in 2021.
But Adam Payter, representing the Solicitor General, said it is believed Robinson left the jurisdiction hours after being released on unconditional bail following his arrest over the weekend.

As at 3:00pm
At least eight people, feared to include several children, have been stabbed in Southport, where a man with a knife was arrested.
Armed police arrested a man and seized a knife after being called to the “major incident” at a property on Hart Street, in Southport, north of Liverpool, at about 11.50am on Monday.
The man has been taken to a police station and there was no wider threat to the public, police said.
North West ambulance service said it had so far treated eight patients with stab injuries, who have been taken to Alder Hey children’s hospital, Aintree university hospital and Southport and Formby hospital.
Alder Hey children’s hospital declared a major incident and asked parents not to bring their children to the emergency department unless it was urgent.

Just take note of the attacks and violence in the UK in the last couple of weeks, fuck that, just the last few days.
Extreme violence towards our communities and our protectors is being normalised and half truths are being spouted by the MSM, endlessly.
What happened today was like something out of a horror movie, a fucking horror movie.
It's not going to end any time soon.

There has to be some middle ground between the industrialised "asylums" of the 50s & 60s, & the, "Care in the Community" model of here & now !
There is no way that someone who can commit an atrocity such as today's is, sane, or at least not by any definition that will satisfy me or 99.999% of humanity, & so we are left with the question of how society deals with people like this ?
There are countless examples of people who have severe mental-health issues, & the system processes them & decides they can be, "controlled" thru the wonders of pharma, but the individual doesn't want to take the pills, because the pills make them feel awful, so they just prefer to listen to the voices in their head, & their case worker has a hundred other cases, so no-one notices they've stopped attending or whatever.
Add in SM & the bad actors on there that seem to view other troubled people as toys & will say anything to monetize hate, & you end up with people who make money off the most horrific acts.

What if that person is indoctrinated and radicalised by a cult?

A court orders the video not be played, so you come in here and play it.
A frenzied knife attack in Southport at a Taylor Swift themed dance class for kids resulting in death and injury and you wade into it with your usual nutbag conspiracy line... but wait

There is exceptionally little mental health care out there. What there is, is massively overwhelmed and doesn't stand much of a chance. My wife works in care in the community, and has desperately asked repeatedly that they get at least the bare minimum of mental health training, but to no success. She's dealing with schizophrenic, bipolay, dementia etc etc with no training as to how they should be doing this (the conditions aren't necessarily the reason she's there, but these people often require more general care too).fishfoodie wrote: Mon Jul 29, 2024 9:34 pm There has to be some middle ground between the industrialised "asylums" of the 50s & 60s, & the, "Care in the Community" model of here & now !

Lets hope that labour do indeed overhaul mental health.
Give a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
I know people that have waited months and months to even get a date. There is literally no provision right now. I’m glad the geezer didn’t shout anything Islamic but incidents like this whoever the perpetrator are down to mental health not ideology.

It means assimilation efforts completely failed
Born in Cardiff, brought up in Merseyside, and still derranged enough to stab a nursery full of children on a whim.
