YNWA.
I have seen this before but never knew what it meant. Then someone sent it to me recently and I still didn’t understand what it meant. I told Meghan and she without hesitation she said, “Mum it means, You’ll Will Never Walk Alone, the Liverpool fans sing it.” And of course, I know the song well. My son Daniel, he has told me, “I play that song once every day.” And what a great anthem it is.
It came on our group chat yesterday, that something bad had happened in Liverpool. We had family there who had gone to visit, and we wanted to know if they were hurt, OK, uninjured. Thankfully Lois, the wife had received a text to say, “They were all, safe and unharmed.” It was scarry to think, that something SO special and enjoyable could be turned so quickly into something bad. For Lois, it was awful, for there were no signals, none of her messages got through, not texts or phone calls. The other family there, they had gone to the pub just before it happened, so they could get seats, and were unaware that anything had happened, until they saw it on the group chat, away from the city centre.
We, who were unaware, that anything had happened, quickly asked lots of questions on the group chat! We were frantic for information.
Maghan came into the room and she showed me the video from above of the attack, it was shocking! It was awful to watch.
Back to the group chat, one of the girls in the group, she was one yard away from the car!
Some in the group, also said, “He is white …….” And added, “Would there have been riots if they hadn’t said that?” We all said, “Yes.” Mental health was also mentioned, “Would he not go to jail, if he claimed to have mental health?”
Our next thoughts, has anyone been killed? Looking at that awful video, how could people not have died? We all waited for news.
Many were injured, and this morning a child and an adult, as been hurt the most. There were no fatalities.
Now, that the police have him in custody, he should be sent straight to jail! He should be given a year for each person he has hurt. He should be put in solitary confinement!
There is 100% certainty, that he has done it, that he is guilty!
What he did yesterday, it will affect each person differently, some will never go with crowds again, some will still have mental trauma after a year, some will still suffer with the broken bones and other physical pain, because of his thoughtless act, after a year!
So, in my view, he should go straight to jail, he is Guilty!
Today Liverpool has stated why they said the man is “White,” Yesterday, they have learnt from last time, that because they said nothing, there were riots, let’s hope nothing happens again, but if it does, will they say quickly like they did yesterday, that he is black? Asian?
Just, on our group chat, one of the family, that the car must missed, she saw everything, the injured, she was not hurt, but is in shock, back home many miles away, she has not gone to work today. See, it is not just the ones he had attacked, but all those who witnessed it.
Wishing all, a speedy recovery.

Another shocking event.
Another shocking event.
We all have mental health. Some have mental illness. And, like ethnicity, religion and the other things, it's one of those that quickly gets wheeled out. And, like the others, it creates stigma and fear. And misunderstanding. Social media, of course, turns a tiny flame into a conflagration.
Crazy world.

Yes. They have to do that
Yes. They have to do that now. Leave it too long and the rumours and lies soon start spreading. Not confined to an area any more, though - but globally. Like the Southport riots. Willingly stirred by the likes of Elon Musk, too. I suppose it's a bit glib to say he has more money than sense. He has more money than anything.
