    Suprised that no one else picked up on this...

    "Police officers came to the aid of an elderly couple who dialled 999 because they were lonely - and made them both a cup of tea."

    Glad Manchester has the flexibility to not throw the book at them and apparently has some people with spare time.

    Annoyed that Essex seems to be practically ignoring crimes.

    Y'know, yesterday the mother sat behind me in the café was talking about her son going to this school.

    "14-year-old schoolboy is arrested after allegedly threatening to stab classmates and rape teacher on Friday 13th"
    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...his-class.html

    Rather worryingly, he was released on bail and no one seems to know where he went.

    Isn't that just straight up news?
    Aus Feuer ward der Geist geschaffen,
    drum schenkt mir süßes Feuer ein!
    Die Lust der Lieder und der Waffen,
    die Lust der Liebe schenkt mir ein,
    der Trauben süßes Sonnenblut,
    das Wunder glaubt und Wunder thut!

    Perhaps, I thought it was pretty abnormal at the time.

    But yeah, I suppose you're right.

    7 year old blind girl told she cannot bring her white cane to school as it would "trip students and teachers up."

    Talk about health and safety gone mad.

    As a somewhat related. Due tot he aftermath of the referendum, I am being spammed by news of SNP scandals lies and awful MPs. Have they done anything positive in power?

    "Students must study atheism in Religious Studies"

    An interesting debate, especially from what I remember from my R.E classes at school.

    Our R.E. teacher was a pretty clear atheist, but was adamant that he couldn't say it out loud because he had to avoid biasing us in any way possible during the kind of lessons he was teaching. Which was a fair position to take.
    And, given the current religious make-up of the UK, where non-religious people are hot on the heels of Christians while everyone else dawdles far behind, I think it is appropriate to include it in the curriculum at this point.

    Non-religion is a weird demographic, because it includes not only atheists, but also agnostics, lots of spiritualists, and even some people who are just too embarrassed/private to talk about their beliefs.

    The 21st century is an ace time to be a pagan IMO.

    Honestly, as far as it's used, it means "traditional Western morals excepting sexual ones, justified without God." Which seems somewhat lame.
