This http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-23831558 happened about 2 minutes' walk away from my house. We live on the other side of the bridge and were blissfully unaware of the drama!

Wonderful rescue! Didn't realise it was so close to familiar territory.

Plenty of shootings and stabbings in London as well, about one a week on average and I'm sure there are more which aren't on the news. I've never known it till the last 10-20 years either, it's not a British sort of thing normally.

I'm sure there are a lot more that aren't finding their way to the mainstream media. We find them online instead.

Britain ain't as British as it used to be, eh?

I wonder why I'm not hearing much now about the Russians helping remove chemical weapons in Syria. It was a big deal a few weeks ago.
