The Standard has basic info - Teenager rushed to hospital after stabbing in south London - "The injuries are not thought to be life-threatening or life-changing at this stage."

Eeek that's a little close for comfort. Explains all the sirens last night though

Ben & Jerry's are owned by Unilever.

But to be fair to the titular Ben & Jerry when they sold the brand they forced Unilever to accept the values at the same time and they have a board of directors that is "empowered to protect and defend Ben & Jerry's brand equity and integrity" (OK a bit market speak) so their products are fairtrade, employees are paid a living wage etc etc.

I do not disagree that Unilever are to be mistrusted but B&J have done their best to ensure their names have not been dragged through the mud and their personal values upheld (also I really like their ice cream).
