    Apparently the UK government screwed up unlike other EU nations by not insisting you had to have an residential address to stay here. Another screw up is allowing people to become "self-employed".
    Let me count the ways our government screw up!

    I see it could also be considered of Romanian origin, which will encourage the racists

    We do seem to have a lot of stabbings by people who aren't driven by terrorism, gangs or relationships. I suspect we will find out that many of them have poorly treated mental health issues like Valdo Calocane.

    There is a >53% chance of the name being 'foreign' and in certain jobs more likely to be.

    We seem to have two apparently motiveless stabbings that are definitely not terrorism. Odd coincidence.

    How so?

    Would you have said the same if he was called Dave? Or was a woman?

    EDIT: what actually shocked me most was that TWG needs a security guard.

    started a topic And a nutter loose in Leicester square

    And a nutter loose in Leicester square

    Just happened a girl (11) and a woman (34) stabbed multiple times by a man - not terrorism apparently.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ce-london.html

    luckily a security guard jumped on him aided by a few others!

Working...
