          Three. Aged six, seven, and nine.

          8 stabbed children

          5 still critical.

          adults hurt too.

          what a mess. :(

            What could possibly drive someone to something so evil in real life?

                It’s 100% mental illness, loneliness and lack of treatment options. It doesn’t mean we should feel sorry for the perpetrator, but everyone’s a victim here. It’s just a horrid situation all around.

                  Oh yeah, don’t get me wrong they need to go to prison forever.

                After 14 years of Tory cuts I doubt the attacker could’ve accessed treatment even if he wanted to.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
