And while you are at it… put your left leg in.

Thanks for that but, as we are a link aggregator and everything revolves around the link, it is better to have the main URL as the original article and add the archive to the body of the text. That way, if others post the same link, Lemmy detects it and provides a link over to the other community (which also helps us spot when the same link is posted twice to the same community).

Apologies if this is the wrong community to post this.

It should really have gone into !askuk@feddit.uk this community is for political news.

edit: fixing link

No. The death penalty is no deterrent and we’ve seen on numerous occasions how flawed the justice system is, so we can rarely be 100% sure we have the right person (unlike in this case which is unequivocal). I also hope that they can undergo some kind of rehabilitation, perhaps not to the point that they realise the horrific nature of their crimes and have to spend their years with that knowledge eating away at them.

Stan Reiz KC, mitigating, told the court Rudakubana had appeared to have been a “normal child” until he reached 13.

Mr Reiz said: "There is no psychiatric evidence before the court that could suggest that a mental disorder contributed to the defendant’s actions.

“However, he did make a transition from a normal, well-disciplined child to someone who was capable of committing acts of such shocking and senseless violence.”

The description of what happened is horrifying and I’d just like to know what happened to him that turned him into someone capable of that.

Depends where you are. It’ll be dangerous around here - in previous storms there was a video of someone jogging along the promenade as the waves crashed. Looked fancy but the debris the next day included plenty of bricks and rocks, and an old car tyre, so they could easily have been brained.

I’m out and about in that mess tomorrow, so I’m going to need more than a stiff upper lip. Perhaps a pair of weighted trousers.

A rare red weather warning covering Northern Ireland and Scotland was issued on Thursday before what could be the strongest storm in generations.

The Met Office said the arrival of Storm Éowyn on Friday could bring gusts of up to 100mph and “flying debris resulting in a danger to life”.

The red warnings, an upgrade of existing amber warnings, covered all of Northern Ireland and parts of central and southern Scotland, including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Ayr and Peebles.

…

Northern Railways, which operates across northern England, advised passengers to “avoid travelling where possible” as it cancelled services before the storm. The company said it was expecting “severe disruption” and had cancelled services across the network including trains across the Pennines, down the Cumbrian coast and between Carlisle and Newcastle.

LNER said there would be no services north of Newcastle in either direction from 11am on Friday. Avanti West Coast advised passengers not to travel north of Preston or on its North Wales route.

Blimey, we’re in for a rough one.

The landlord of my local will buy spirits from the supermarket when they are on offer as it is cheaper than getting it wholesale.

That’s a weird punishment.

Yes, it’s long been known that Prevent has been hoovering up a lot of young ND or mentally ill boys and, as an expert said on Radio 4 today, the current system is hammering round pegs through square holes and needs changing to system that assesses the level of threat someone presents. A lot of those in the system need help, not demonising.

I feel he has massively overcorrected here.

They dislke flashy people here (I’m not in London, it’s different there), but are quite warm as long as you don’t act like an entitled knobhead.

To be honest, that’s probably how most Brits are unless you land in a very small and remote village where it can get a bit… Slaughtered Lamb.

True but the way Ed Davey is pitching it, the numbers would be limited. We’d probably not hate them far more for just being rich Yanks.

My advice: avoid London

That is how the rest of the country feels too!

Also, their accent is less abrasive than many in England.

Steady on!

Me neither but if you can’t get to New Zealand or, possibly, Ireland it may be better than staying put.

Heaven forfend!

I suppose at worst it could be seen as… “undiplomatic” when the UK government are trying to figure out how to deal with having a vindictive man-baby running the most powerful country in the world but history will have to judge who was right on this (my money is on the mayor).

Life?

In Liverpool Irish heritage is almost taken for granted - amongst my immediate friends, the majority could get an Irish passport, only myself and one other friend miss out by a generation, then there’s a few Welsh thrown into the mix. Even my American second cousins don’t make a big deal about it, although they feel very affectionate about Liverpool - one even started their honeymoon here, which struck everyone else as a bit of a waste.
