Remember when there was a spate of killer clowns and a real life purge scheduled.
Facebook is mental.
This 100%. My villages Facebook group has been in meltdown about dog nappings, houses being marked with chalk that have dogs etc.
No evidence whatsoever

Why the fuck would the dog napping cartel be marking houses with chalk anyway? Rather than just saying No. 38 or whatever.
Just one of those urban legends I guess. Iāve been hearing about the āchalk markingā thing for decades. Tbh the ābeware of dogā sign on our fence is fairly indicative (we donāt have a dog)

My wife has Facebook and was recounting a story just yesterday that had been reposted umpteen times re dognappers on a beach local to me. A woman was walking her dog and was approached by a another woman who complimented her on her cute dog. The second woman wandered off and may or may not have got on her phone. Not two minutes later a man who was wearing some kind of face covering cycled past on a bike and looked at her and her dog. He was heading in the same direction as she was and she said that she had to run in order to beat him back to the car park. On arriving at the car park she noticed that there was a white van in the car park and the cycling man rode slowly passed it and it looked like he nodded at it, āā¦almost like they were communicatingā¦ā. She got in her car and, āgot out of there as quick as she could.ā Hmmmmn, proof or bollocksā¦Iād go with bollocks. Well, bollocks or paranoia. FFS.

Chalk-mark paranoia is big here just now too, except itās junkies doing houses, apparently, rather than dog breeders.
Iām pretty sure Orwell mentions something similar in Down and Out in Paris and London. (Although itās been a while since Iāve read it).
Yeah itās pretty rife around here. They recently busted a gypsy camp and found 20-30 dogs kept there that were stolen in and around the NPT area.
Iāll agree with others about the FB stories, albeit some of them have been true. Itās just some of it has been blown out in so many ways.

While I respect the right to protest peacefully, this is pretty stupid.

Blue and lazer.
Blue.
Lazer. Itās not even the right spelling.
Didnāt get any further than that.
They are on land that HS2 requires so it can build a temporary taxi rank, as part of the high-speed rail project.
Thatāll bring HS2 to a grinding halt Iām sureā¦

āBlue and Lazer were privately educated at King Alfred School, in Hampstead, north London, as there are no schools on the remote Hebridean island of Gometra which Mr Sandford owns.ā
Itās just unfortunate that heās stuck his arm in a metal tube thatās been buried in concrete. He literally needs to be drilled out
Wifeās first question:
āSo theyāve just been shitting and pissing themselves for a week?ā

Fair play to them. Somebody is making a stand, as extreme as it is, against a park being dug up to facilitate a fucking temporary taxi rank.

Defo- regardless of being southern hippies (lol), in an age of armchair activism theyāre putting their bodies on the line to try stop something that shouldnāt be happening in the first place, bigup. Glad these people exist and are going the extra mile to give a voice to the people. Fuck HS2

I just hope heās ok and they can get him out. Heās spent a week outside, down a tunnel. Delaying the construction of a taxi rank wonāt stop HS2.
Iām surprised there isnāt more uproar about HS2 in general given the spiralling cost and the pretty questionable benefits itās supposed to bring. Iāve never seen the point of it at all.

Isnāt there something about it going to a station 20mins outside the centre anyway so really the total journey time will be the same?
