There's a little known facility on RTTL which allows a user to post what they want to see, makes sure no-one can post anything they don't want to see or that they disagree with and is moderated exactly as they want. Enjoy. :thumbup:

Nottingham: Serious police incident closes city centre

police investigation into a "serious incident" in Nottingham is causing significant disruption.

A large police cordon has been put up in the city centre and there are multiple road closures stopping access for trams and some buses.

Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service said it was also in attendance assisting the police force.

The public have been told to avoid the area and plan alternate routes.

Start another thread to argue about that dross

Err, I might have missed something recenrly but climate change is science, if you have issues with it then post any scientific facts to the contrary.
This thread is a light hearted look at "Today's " news.

Not a fight to the death argument about politics, science or conspiracy stuff.

That should be somewhere else.

Did you miss the part where i said it was OK ? You can't argue with people who agree with you..

Then there is something wrong with my own language model because I am not disagreeing or arguing here. I am throwing a wider question out to the others who have replied regarding the topic of "news". I appreciate I did quote/reply so perhaps that is where I am going wrong.

Sounds horrific. Will be interesting to see just how far the msm will go to avoid "outing" the ethnicity of the perpetrator. The dreadlocks are a bit of a giveaway though.

This is what annoys me most about modern "news". Rather than merely present the facts of the case, it has to be disguised with euphemisms and key information removed to avoid causing offence to the sorts of people who perpetrate these random acts of violence.

Seems odd that one incident led to multiple cordoned off areas? Maybe that’s to do with traffic flow?

I don't mind what is posted here as long as people don't look for tenuous links to repeat their pet topic over and over. You might well hate Biden/Trump/Tories/Labour and people wearing the wrong shoes but I don't want to see it repeated frequently.

He was black, as reported by the BBC while presenting 'the facts of the case'. 3 people dead, others in hospital, and your main concern is whether the ethnicity of the attacker gets reported :thumbdown:

If it is the same guy, it sounds like he stabbed a couple to death in the street before casually walking off towards the town centre. At some point he got into a van and according to a witness, accelerated when he saw a police car behind him and struck 2/3 people who were walking in the road. No info on how or when the third victim died.

Seems I owe you all an apology then. Usual m.o. was not as I feared.

Think I'll just fuck off for a while see if I can get my head back into a more positive state.

I don't see what the issue is, he is what he is, why do people find that more of an issue rather than what has happened?
