I haven't seen much reporting for this verdict, though the story was big at the time
Man guilty of manslaughter by diminished responsibility after killing aunt in Lambeth
what a sad story for everyone involved

I've got quite a bit of sympathy for the fella.

Dunno if it deserves a separate thread, or is it just too depressing for that?

Im glad the injuries dont sound too serious.

I'm not really up for Electric Brixton getting more heavy handed security wise than they already are (which is at an acceptable level).

Its quite probable that knife arches and Fabric style searches will be insisted upon in there from now on.

Looks like the council are letting people's flowers and memorials stay a bit longer

Security is tight there. How the fuck are people with knives getting in unless they came via a route that wasn't the front door?

I think it's getting past a joke all this "chose your font by a referendum" stuff.
Where would we be if Michaelangelo had been tasked to carve "David" according to public taste?

Bit of a random one, and please admin delete if not appropriate. I’ve got a friend who finds themselves, thanks to our insane benefits system, currently homeless. I’ve got no space at my flat at the moment. Anyone know of anyone looking for house sitter/ with a cheap spare room in localish area? They have stayed at mine before and looked after my dogs while I’ve been and I can totally vouch for their trustworthiness. Please PM me if you have any bright ideas/ might be able to help..

Hi, can't help with accommodation I'm afraid, but if your friend hasn't already I'd suggest he seek advice from Brixton Advice Centre on Railton Road, or Center 70 in West Norwood.
