Jesus. All you seem to hear just now is news like this. You wonder who is living long enough to get the average life expectancy to 78. Condolences.

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.

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.

Jesus, I walked down that street yesterday. My colleague in work has sent her children to the kids club where this happened.
Bit too fucking close to home.
