Amazing read
"In 1990, a homeless man looked me in the eye and said, "You aught to do a story about me."
I asked him why. "Because I've played in three Super Bowls." -
Naaah... not terror. Not even suspected terror. Just, you know, some shooting.

The word "gunman" already has me ticking the first square (A4) on the white terrorist bingo sheet.
Will be keeping an eye on how he news cycle unfolds.
EDIT: D5 "no previous record"

A few years back a delivery driver (can't remember which company) started crying in my company's reception. His wife was in labour and there was a complication so she was being rushed into theatre he told me, but he couldn't be there because if he cancelled his shift he wouldn't be able to pay for food for his family. He still had half a van full of deliveries, I didn't really know what to say to him, I said that I thought being with his wife was more important, and that I was sure his employer would understand his issue.
I still think about that day all the time.

In fact when the same thing happened to me and they were asking me to put scrubs on to go into theatre I thought about that guy and I cried.

Well, that's a boycott that I'll enjoy partaking in. Fucking twats.

Pressed again for evidence, Winston thanked the Guardian reporter for her “entertaining comments” and said the “law-breaking, aggression and dishonesty” of cyclists had turned him against them.

It's worth looking at their marketing for the driver positions

Utterly bonkers that this is done on a 'self employed' basis, offloading all risk on to their 'franchise holders' and then on the government. Fucking dicks.

I think it's come up time and time again but it would seem companies who offer 0 hour contracts are simply using public money to line their pockets by proxy. By fucking over an employee, sorry, "franchise holder", and forcing them into food-banks or on top up benefits, they are enabling their own profits by forcing people who work for them to claim the extra required just to be able to live from the government or from the kindness of strangers.
These people often can't work 2 jobs due to family, or do work 2 jobs putting their family life down the shitter, and we're supposed to be a 1st world country promoting all the luxuries of capitalism.

police found Stables had made internet searches for “how to make
chemical poison”, “what is prison like for a murderer”, “I want to go
on a killing spree” and “do you get haircuts in prison”.

Failing to plan is planning to fail.

Lots of couriers work on that basis these days :/
One of the reasons I stick with Royal Snail, uppa posties on a normal contract.
Somebody I know in NL who does courier work says the ones on parcel rates also drive way more aggro as time literally is money...
[though we pay for their pensions and not the stock market, but well, can't have it all...]

Yeah I see where you're coming from and understand that it is early days. My pessimism is fuelled by other experiences, which is why I hope you're right and I'm wrong.
