When all around is doom and gloom, a ray of sunshine to be human

Beachgoers formed a human chain to help rescue a stricken swimmer off the Dorset coast.

Lulworth coastguard said the individual got into trouble in choppy seas off Durdle Door beach on Thursday afternoon.

More than 20 people linked arms to enter the sea and successfully bring them back to shore.

The coastguard said the swimmer was unhurt but warned against going in the sea in windy conditions.

Yeah, even I have to have 5 minutes break from cynicism every hour.

Just when you think people are awful and selfish, they go and do this.
Well done people, you give me hope.
