This is such a dark story. Their trustpilot page is strangely harrowing.

To be fair that review was 4 days before he killed them, so that's just poor customer service.

There's been a mass street stabbing in Hainault. Four killed or injured.

Bloke ran his car into the house first, apparently. Some phone footage knocking about. Looks like some size of chib.

 

[AGinAg (39)]

It's a fucking sword.

Yet somehow this is Khan's fault.

Also, most importantly, the deranged attacker is going to cause TheGays™ to say "Can I Say Something?" On mass

 

[Tisch]

I have friends nearby. They're fine, but sounds like they were lucky. One of them is working from home today when she wouldn't normally be, and the other one of them was running late this morning and got to the station when police were there. They were woken by sounds of helicopters and sirens so sounds like it was a rather huge operation.

Not sure if official yet, but they're saying a 15 year old has died...

 

[octophone]

It's a fucking sword.

Yet somehow this is Khan's fault.

Everything's Khan's fault to the gammons. It's like some kind of racist Tourettes.

"Kindest plumber in the world" stories were faked.

Proof that we often can't have nice things, and being a grumpy old cynic is sometimes fully just.

I remember a time my Facebook feed was flooded with these stories, and I always questioned how was keeping himself afloat doing all these selfless deeds for free. Turned out, he just liked clout.

America’s premier pronatalists on having ‘tons of kids’ to save the world: ‘There are going to be countries of old people starving to death’

Elon Musk (father of 11) supports their cause. Thousands follow their ideology. Malcolm and Simone Collins are on a mission to make it easier for everyone to have multiple children. But are they really model parents?

What a bunch of absolute freaks.

Considering they're built on science and data, I wonder what science and data they're using that suggests that birth rates are reducing?

We really are in the prequel to The Handmaid's Tale aren't we.

 

[VoR]

Of all the many existential crises humanity seems to be facing right now, the drop in birth rates is the one I find the hardest to take seriously.

Oh so a few hundred thousand of the coffin dodging cunts who got us into this mess may not have access to a support network to usher them out of this plane of existence in maximum comfort? MY HEART BLEEDS
