Had 5Live on the radio driving to work this morning and the police have changed their wording from a ‘search and rescue’ operation  last night to ‘search and recover’ this morning. 

Yes, that grim reality quickly dawned on everyone last night that anyone unaccounted for wasn't getting out alive.

 

Death toll at ten now, including infants and teenagers in getting sweets after school on a Friday. A freak, heartbreaking tragedy.

3 kids aged 8,10 and 11 dead in that accident in Birmingham. Fell through the ice, grim as fuck.

 

Fair fucks to the coppers that jumped in to try and save them, not all police are cunts.

When i was a kid it was akin to taking a bath with a toaster or something, i am still terrified at the thought.

Great investigative journalism from a subscriber funded online news site from Bristol, The Cable. 
 

Exposed modern day slavery practiced by a family running the city’s ice cream vans, and their multi million pound property empire that was often substandard.
