I'm not sure what the weather is like in your part of the world, but I think the end of this part of the world is almost here.... so far yesterday ; Keswick was cut off, apart from the Penrith approach.

In a run-down part of East London recently, a fire destroyed a dilapidated four storey house that had been divided into four flats. A Nigerian family of six internet con artists and full time benefit cheats lived on the first floor, and all six tragically perished in the fire. A group of seven Islamic welfare cheats, all illegally in the country, lived on the second floor, and they too, all perished in the fire. Six Albanian, gang banger, ex-cons - all claiming political asylum and living off the state for free - occupied the 3rd floor and they too died. And one middle aged British white couple lived on the top floor. They miraculously survived the fire. …
