There is simply so much about modern life I don't understand.

A 'flash mob' style gathering (?) had a water fight, chanted 'Black Lives Matter' and then stabbed a policeman and looted a McDonalds.

This was in London, by the way, not some ridiculous lala land like 'Merika.

If there was but one piece of the story I could grasp, I could use that as a frame upon which to hang the other elements, and thereby arrive at some understanding; unortunately, the whole thing smacks of insanity, so I'm lost.

I think bringing back the death penalty would be very helpful.

Hot weather sometimes brings out the worst in people.

It probably had something to do with Pokemon Go. Most things do at the moment, it seems.

This made me laugh.

Erdogan likes this. Possibly for the 21,000 teachers he has just sacked for not supporting him.

Black Lives Matter. Yours doesn't.

Still and all. Stabbing coppers and stealing cheeseburgers. Beyond the pale, I'm afraid.

Poor lady collapsed like a sack when I got off the train last night. It was weird like slow motion.

However I was actually quite happy to see the reaction of other Londoners to help her. The old if you were dying in the street in London nobody would help myth is not true.

Sleep is a bit of a **** at the moment. I went to bed with a fan on my bedside table blowing air over a block of ice I'd created (in addition to my ceiling fan). It was OK getting to sleep, but I woke up at 4 and the ice had melted and it was like breathing hot soup. :-(

Yes. Merkel's dodgy refugee deal is looking a bit iffy as well, isn't it? :hehe:
