In todays news...

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.

Been watching this unfold on the news. Sky reporter just let out a car had been driven into people killing four. Sky retracted it as it couldn't be qualified. Doesnt sound good though.

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.

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

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?

I did start a post a while back called Funny News Story's but it died of death after 2/3 pages due to you all preferring to whine about other people discussing news oddly enough.

I can see the funny side of that.

[Mr. Dazzle]

We need an "ironic outcomes" thread to put it in.

They should have had a sniper shoot the fucker off the bridge. Maybe sight the gun in first by shooting the woman who was stupid enough to shack up with him.

Good for those plucky protestors.

I see the Insulate Britain lot got a good result with the Great British Insulation Scheme rolling out now.

Stopping oil will be harder but good luck to them.

Twitter claims (multiple sources) he was an African immigrant with history of violence and known to the Police? I bet it'll be mental health issues!

Two police officers who followed two teenage boys minutes before they were killed in a crash in Cardiff have been served with gross misconduct notices

If you watch this video, they were 18 seconds behind the kids. Not quite in hot pursuit.

I didn't know following from a safe distance was a crime now

Those 'multiple sources' are all retweets from one source (GB News) who claim to have been told by another source. Nothing has been confirned yet, though it would be unusual for a news outlet to make that claim unless they were absolutely certain that the source was reliable.
And yet Twitter is full of comments claiming that it has been confirmed

You'd think that mental health issues wasn't a roll-eyes thing on here too.

From the article

The watchdog stressed that these notices are to advise officers that their conduct is under investigation and did not necessarily mean disciplinary proceedings would follow.

Also states that the video was taken 'minutes' before the crash. Common sense suggests that nothing more will come of it and the police are just going through the motions.

I read an article at the time about how the mother of one of the boys (who was still alive and lying in the road) was begging rioters on FB to clear the roads, as the emergency services couldn't get access to her son. I hope the police will put as much effort into prosecuting anyone who may have played a part in his death through their actions.

Its not like we don't have our own homegrown murderers and nutters, but we need to have more thorough checks with boat newbs. Its like Le Camp des Saints is becoming a prophecy!
