I doubt it. She can still afford a £135 cashmere scarf.

Terrible news from Huntingdon tonight 😔 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm2zvjx1z14t

Awful. It’s literally a mile from where we live.

How awful @BIossomtoes I do hope that everyone is OK

So do I. There’s not even any confirmation yet about how many people have been taken to hospital. I often use that train.

Awful. Those poor people.You must feel a bit shaken @BIossomtoes

Awful news. And yet the Daily Fail only have it as its second news item. Harassing Rachel Reeves is more important to them.

I do. It’s really weird for it to be right on your doorstep.

Bloody hell. An attack like that is horrific enough without being trapped in a metal box with the perpetrators.

And, of course, we've ready got lots of "we know who it will be" insinuation in with the suggestions of coked up Geordies. Hopefully some of these muppets will do what I'm about to do a d get to bed.

That thread on the stabbings is a cess pit of speculation and political hijacking. Some Reform supporters (or maybe they are bots, I hope so in a way) really have no shame at all.

It's descended into yet another anti-immigrant/anti Starmer thread

Police making a statement shortly

I don't think I dare venture onto any thread about the terrible stabbings. I had to close twitter pretty quickly last night.
@blossomtoes so horrible that it's near you and so familiar.

Good that there will be a statement shortly. Some facts are sorely needed.

That thread is to be avoided. Someone posted that we should be bombing the small boats.

Indeed. I dared to venture on it earlier and had to make a hasty retreat. Some of the comments are just sickening. At this stage all thoughts should be with all those involved.

That's just sick 😢

Mumsnet should pull threads like that , given the police have asked people not to speculate.

Well they pulled my post .....

I don't expect anything from MN on that account, the threads in site stuff confirmed it for me.

More background to those concerned flag raisers

normal people with legitimate concerns

Stating the bleedin obvious

Which leads to this.

In Drogheda, fireworks thrown at an asylum accommodation centre resulted in a fire, with four children including in infant needing hospital care. 28 people resided in the hotel. In addition to arson, Garda is looking at attempted murder charges - which we had been calling for in the North

Just waiting for a police Press Conference on BBc News re the stabbings. So much speculation, while they keep saying it’s important not to speculate. I bet the police are furious.
I used to work in Huntingdon @BIossomtoes - my first teaching job was in St. Peter’s School. It shakes you when something happens close to you.

Who is rich in this scenario?
