Something I didn’t know.

Dartmoor Prison is closed and all inmates removed due to high levels of Radon found.

It’s not clear if it will ever reopen as the Radon is coming from underneath in the rocks and soil.

That’s one less prison available then.

🤔
Read an article about Radon in Cornwall over ten years ago.

Put me off buying a holiday home there
I think there's a link to mining with that. I'm in an area that had extensive coal mining in the last 2 centuries (Derbyshire) and we have highish levels of Radon. I'd assume it's tin in Cornwall

The idiot who stood in the line of fire getting hit by his own mates has been named as Brian Spencer. :)

I think I read somewhere that’s it due to the granite bedrock in the area. Plus the walls surrounding the prison are granite based.

New prison places have been found by repurposing a young offender’s institution.

So, the rioters will be going there, when convicted.

Police have told sky news that tomorrow is a big day has intelligence shows there are 30 gatherings planned around the UK.

I think they better find some more prison places asap.

Canary Wharf Underground station in London has been evacuated, with dozens seen running as police shout for passengers to 'get out as fast as you can'. 

A huge emergency response arrived outside of the station, with police cars, ambulances and paramedics in the area. 

A single person was seen being taken into an ambulance on a stretcher, The Mirror reported. 

British Transport Police closed off the Underground station as TFL announced the Jubilee Line would not be running due to a 'customer incident'. 

TFL has been approached for comment

You clearly have no concept of the demographics of this rabble. As Michael pointed out a lot of this comes from a sense of being left behind. Researchers into EDL found over 50% were unemployed. Over 50% were in social housing.. They don't have property to airbnb.

:lol: You can be really bad sometimes. I'd like to cut FFS some slack. But all we get is escalation and hate.
Can I suggest a bit of metta bhavana.
