Yebbut all them stabbers are just the people who couldn't find a gun. Twice as many as the UK, even when you consider they had the option to shoot someone instead!
Yeah that was sort of my point, US murder rate is 5 per 100 000 ours is 1.2.

It’s got art, it’s got cake!

https://news.sky.com/story/mona-lisa-at ... r-12624074

A person seemingly disguised as an old woman in a wheelchair has staged an attack on the Mona Lisa.

Video shared online shows the world's most famous artwork with what witnesses suggested was cake smeared across the glass case protecting it.

Bystanders said a "man dressed as an old lady" jumped out of a wheelchair at the Louvre in Paris before attempting to smash the protective glass in front of the Leonardo da Vinci painting.

In California you can bee exactly what you want to bee. :D A bee is now legally a fish.

"A California appeals court made a fishy judgment regarding the endangered status of bees.

"A three-judge panel on the state's Third Appellate District Court ruled unanimously in favor of allowing bees to be legally considered under the same umbrella definition as fish."

People can’t afford their gas bills.

These heroes are protesting against the possibility of lower gas bills.

Its not the same group but some sort of splinter group from Extinct Rebellion were letting 4x4 tyres down in Edinburgh a couple of month back. Half them new motors are more economical than my wifes VW Fox and it was reported that at least two were electric cars. Thick fuckers never looked at the badge on the backs.

They’re probably anti-nuclear as well.

It’s easy to be “anti” all sorts of stuff, until you’re no longer someone’s dependent.

Bet their "anti-" ardour is cooled when the Scottish winter sets in and they can't heat their homes. No doubt they won't be "anti-" government heating subsidies. ;)

Minimum alcohol unit pricing doesn't work.
So normal people are spending less while alcoholics suck it up and spend more to maintain their habit. Everyone loses apart from pricey booze manufacturers.
