Don't worry, guys.
 
Bhav is here.
 
He'll know what to do.

It's quite sad to see people getting killed, injured, traumatized with such violence in a topic that's affecting the whole world......and then you have an idiot  that's continuously going through some confused personal issue(s) that obviously doesn't belong here.

I blocked him as soon as he appeared again.

Wibbles. But I don't want to be forced to carry an ID card

While it shouldnt be forced, I wish we still had ID cards, just because needing to use a passport for identity instead is lame. Everytime I go to the bank and forget my pin, oh noes, Im not me anymore, Im somebody else pretending to be me.

Recently in NYC they introduced city ID cards. I ended up getting one of those instead of replacing my lost driver's license. I don't even drive, and it sure as hell beat sitting in a NY DMV for 3 hours. The only thing you can't use them for is to buy booze or get into clubs. Which is fine because I don't drink.

Whats going on in the UK is that single people cant get a house unless filthy rich.
 
Please, somebody wife me already :(

You should get things in perspective. Last year a good friend of mine, a talented tattoo artist in Newcastle, suffered a serious double stroke after being beaten by some students. He almost died, and is left in a wheelchair with limited vision and hearing and needs round the clock care. You should see the trouble he's having getting an adapted home for him and his girlfriend & kids. They're turning him down left right and center. But not to worry, they said, if you don't get a home we'll give you a place in a nursing home (away from his family). So you want to thank your lucky stars that you're not in his position.

But he already has a home right or is he legally homeless? If the latter any of the social housing companies Ive been applying at would pick him and his family before anyone else.

His girlfriend is losing her current home so they are imminently homeless. It's a pretty desperate situation and one which you'd think would see them prioritized. But that's not the case.

Damn, Im pretty sure hes already registered with the council and social housing companies in his area?
 
I thought mine being on the council list for about 5 years now and getting nothing despite familial break down and mental healtg issues was crap, but Ive been beat. Currently got a list of 4 shared ownership houses to get through, its looking like I have a solid chance of getting the least attractive one of the lot as no one else wants them, while the rest are in high demand.
 
Shared ownership works out awesome for people on welfare in the UK cos you get your rent, council tax and mortgage interest all paid off with benefits. But the problem is actually getting such a house in the first place.

Going back to the events on London Bridge and at Borough Market, I've just been reading about some of the people who fought back against the terrorists;
 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40149836
 
Romanian baker Florin Morariu saw a commotion outside Borough Market's Bread Ahead bakery, where he works, and invited some distressed Brazilian women inside and gave them a glass of water.
When they told him that three men were stabbing people in the market, he headed outside with two crates to tackle the attackers.
 
"I just threw the crate at [one of the attackers]. I threw the first crate and I knew he was going to dodge it. While he was dodging it, I walked towards him and hit him in the head with the other crate."
 
I wonder if I'd have the guts to do the same.
