Yeah, it's cause a local stabbing a local doesn't make such a good headline.
To be honest if 6 random people were stabbed by one person in Glasgow central it would be headline worthy. I don’t really understand your point?

I hate to Labour the point but ……

I find there's racial tones when these incidents make the news or people raise them on social media.
I had a discussion on LinkedIn only a few days ago when there was a post with strong racial terms being discussed.
I quoted a few recent knife crimes by white British people which didn't go down well.
We have more than enough British nutcases who fancy themselves when they have a knife on them.
We do have knife crime which is homegrown (see bbc piece on Nottingham today) however I do think there are cultural links to certain crime’s. You don’t see many white British people attacking several random people in public places. The problem is if we are all to scared to talk about these issues because you are accused of being racist then our society will get worse over time. A prime example is the Rotherham Asian abuse gangs.

Some context to the “Mad” bit above…..

What is it with mad foreigners and outdoor multiple knife carnage?

While ASD can affect people using it as some sort of reason/defence is another sad sign of todays society where almost everything is down to mental heakth.
I have mental health! 😅

Would you pull the lever yourself? 😉
I agree, a spontaneous reaction is understandable, particularly when the perpetrator is under the influence of drink or drugs and it's the result of a heated argument or over a love interest, or something. But to plan such a wicked crime is just pure evil. Is this perhaps the result of the collaboration of two psychopaths? I can only think it takes a personality disorder of that magnitude for two people to contrive commit such a callous attack. I hope they receive very long prison sentences, both to act as a deterrent and to keep society safe from such people.
Personality disorder or ASD ? It’s chicken and egg stuff, probably both.

Twenty and twenty two years MINIMUM.
The female received the slightly longer term, although the judge has added they might never be released if they are seen to "remain a danger".
Where's ma noose?
The case is very much about ASD. Reminds me of the film below, which is a must see in my opinion.

The guy we bought our motorhome from messaged me this morning suggesting we meet up for lunch, very nice of him.
Hope he knows I'll be starving as I'll not have had breakfast.
Just be careful…..😅

There's "growing" and there is sitting on your phone with a biscuit barrel between your "growing" thighs all day.

Then you should just post links
If you bothered to read the associated posts you would have learned why I didn’t.

Would you discuss the ethnicity of the officers involved when a white driver refuses to disclose?
You obviously didn’t follow the story so this question is redundant.

The Maunder Minimum - being the lack of sun spots (and having a minimal contribution to the mini ice age) - ended in 1715. More sun spots (as we've had since then), in combination with a depleted ozone layer (caused by CFCs etc), would allow more UV through and potentially cause more warming.
Everything's linked, no effect (positive or negative) stands alone.
If man made climate change is not real it still does no harm to the planet to act as if it is. If it is real and we act as if it isn't, then we have potentially f**ked up the planet (at least short-term (geologicaly)), f**ked ourselves and also many other living organisms.
Why look after your house if you're not going to look after your street, your neighbourhood, your town, etc? It's all linked, no man is an island, blah, blah blah.
How would you feel if a smoker blew smoke in your face and, when you complained, they said "I don't believe all that science stuff that says it's bad"?
Anyway, enough of this.Or too use another anology, that toe nail looks a bit infected, best just cut the leg off just in case.

Well I’m glad it’s none of the scientists I worked with on the first modern day climate change study that I worked on from 1990. I was responsible for setting up the computing and data storage infrastructure for this project.
As I mentioned on another thread it’s important to understand and clarify your sources of information (or misinformation).
The last sentence sums it up….
I wish the Daily Mail and the Sun would both go to “sleep” permanently.
Why would you question sources from the Sun and Daily Mail? Would it misinformation? What if the Guardian or the independent printed it, would that be a reliable source? All these papers print story’s from academic sources, sometimes from the same original source.

On a timescale somewhere between the ozone layer disappearing and acid rain destroying the world. The timescale for the ice age has now been moved to between 2030-40 according to the Washington post article below. Don’t think I will bother investing in that air pump heater just yet.
Do you not think that the actions taken, e.g. banning CFCs, had an effect on those predictions?
It may have had an effect on the issues in the New scientist article (aerosol quadrupling) however the Washington times article is concerned with the Maunder Minimum which would not be related to CFCs in the atmosphere. (See below) Given the amount of different experts telling me about the different catastrophes which are going to happen in the future, you can see why people of my generation tend to be sceptical about man made climate change.

A link would have been helpful in that case. You originally never mentioned the (missing) headline, just mentioned "warmest January" as if it was your opinion on what you had posted (i.e. the screenshot).
I actually don’t know how to add a link, hence all my posts contain screenshots 😅

Not at all.
You posted a screenshot without the headline then made a comment that referred to the missing headline and, seemingly, expected people to know that you were referring to information that wasn't presented.
Then, instead of just saying "oops" and posting that screenshot of the headline, you double down on your error by trying to accuse someone else of not reading properly and missing the "first line" - you know, the first line that you never supplied.I thought (obviously in error) that if people wanted to read the full article they could access it themselves. You could just have taken my word for it in the first place.

You never posted the headline.

Nowhere in the article you posted does it say it's the warmest January on record, it doesn't even hint at that. There is absolutely nothing wrong with what they said.
You better get to spec savers!! What does the headline say?

1 minute ago, Slarti said:56 minutes ago, ALBIONSAINT said:It’s literally the first line of the news article? To be honest they will probably generate a lot of scepticism if they start telling the masses that common localised weather phenomenon (only in mountain ranges, where are the mountain ranges around Rome and Cote de azure?)
I am still awaiting the mini ice age that the climate experts promised back in the 80s, just saying.That's not what it says. There is a huge difference between the highest January temperature on record and the warmest January on record. The former is a recording of a single instance while the latter is the average of multiple instances over the month.
Tell that to the BBC please.

Can you show your evidence of this claim?
Sure why not. I think I first heard about it on tomorrow’s world? On a timescale somewhere between the ozone layer disappearing and acid rain destroying the world.
