A Man Was Tortured For SIX HOURS By Sadistic Thugs

A gang of barbaric criminals who tortured a man with a flamethrower, knives and boiling salt water for six hours has been imprisoned.

Dangerous Charlie Saunter, William O’Brien, and Kai Haruna attacked their victim in a drugs-related row.

Charlie Saunter, 23, along with his younger accomplices William O’Brien and Kai Haruna, both 20, also subjected the man to burns, dog bites and genital mutilation in a flat in Gravesend, Kent on July 5, 2020.

Police said that Kai Haruna repeatedly jumped on the victim’s chest until he passed out, while William O’Brien used his dog to stop the man from escaping.

Footage of the sickening abuse was shared online before being uncovered by detectives days later. Now, the trio of violent criminals have been jailed for a combined total of 35 years.

Detectives Constable John Carless, of Kent Police’s County Line and Gangs Team, said that these men were violent and dangerous criminals with zero regard for the law, and said that Haruna, O’Brien, and Saunter planned and launched a lengthy attack on their victim, subjecting him to vicious torture techniques over a period of six hours.

A sentencing hearing at Maidstone Crown Court, Kent, heard the trio had tortured their victim in a disagreement over money or the supply of drugs in July 2020.

Two days after the attack, Kent Police obtained video evidence of the incident which had been shared on social media and arrested the trio that same day.

While arresting the attackers, officers seized two knives as well as quantities of heroin and cocaine.

One of the officers was also wounded after being bitten by a dog during the arrests.

All three young men were charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent, which Saunter and Haruna both admitted. However, O’Brien had initially denied this charge but subsequently changed his plea to guilty.

Saunter admitted another charge of possession with intent to supply heroin and crack cocaine.

Their sentences also dealt with two different cases, concerning thefts and other acts of brutality.

Saunter, of Pevensey in East Sussex, was jailed for 13 years and six months, whilst O’Brien, of Greenwich, was given 11 years and Haruna, of Grove Park, London, was given eight years and three months.

All three will serve at least two-thirds of their jail time before they’re even able to apply for parole, and all will be subject to an extended licence period of four years upon their release.

Again this is pathetic sentencing by a judge. These people should have been incarcerated for a much longer prison term with no parole.

Sentencing these days for crimes like this are a complete joke.

The criminals clearly didn’t show any guilt or accountability for what they’d done and should have got a much lengthier sentence, and anybody that harms another living human being or even takes a life, because this man’s life will never be the same again should have been given life imprisonment because life should mean life with no parole.

To be honest, words fail me. These people are the scum of the earth and they should be locked up permanently. Not only did they harm another human being but they had drugs with the intention to sell, and they don’t just sell them to adults, they sell them to kids as well.

Our so-called justice system is totally broken and requires a complete overhaul.

It would have also been nice if we’d been told how the victim was. I would say I hope that he makes a complete recovery, but something like this, you’re never going to make a full recovery – for pity’s sake, they mutilated his man parts and he’s now disabled for life, not just physically but mentally as well.

Buried Since The Blitz

A Second World War Anderson shelter used during the Blitz has been discovered in a back garden.

Martin Tracey, 66, and his wife Allison moved into their new home in Coventry last summer and were surprised to find an Anderson shelter buried in their back garden.

Anderson shelters were buried in gardens throughout the country as millions of Britons hid from German bombs, and could protect up to six people from flying shell fragments.

Since making the discovery late last year, Martin’s great-grandson, James, eight, and granddaughter, Robyn, 32, made it their mission to uncover the bunker and embellish it with plants and flowers.

Martin said that the previous owners had been living in the house since the war and that a neighbour had said in passing that there might be a shelter in the garden.

The grandfather said the time capsule shelter was much larger than he believed it would be, and he added that it was amazing to have a piece of history in their back garden, and that it was really cool when they first discovered it, and that it was quite nostalgic because it was something that related to the history of Coventry.

He said the family that had been there before them, had been there since the war and that the home hadn’t changed hands since before the beginning of World War II, so inside of the house was a bit of a time warp.

He said that his wife who was a keen gardener, and his grandchildren chose to take it on as a project and have been clearing around it and opening it up since September last year.

He said originally, they wanted to have it taken out so they could have the garden flattened, but they were all so excited about the discovery that they have taken over, and he said that it was much bigger than he ever expected it to be, and that it was perfectly preserved inside, and that it was a very well made shelter.

The shelters, which were first designed in 1938, were given out for free by the government to lower and middle-income families to give them someplace to go during air raids.

Inside the Anderson shelter were benches made out of long pieces of slate, as well as some old battery-powered car lamps, bottles and pipework.

The shelter had been well concealed and lay undiscovered in the garden for more than 70 years.

Martin said that when they began clearing the bunker, they had lots of people popping their heads over the fence as they were interested in what was being found and that as far as they know, it’s the only one in the street.

He said it’s such an unusual feature to have in your back garden, and when it’s all finished they were hoping to have it like a little garden room, and that James even plans on sleeping in it when it’s all clean and dry.

He added that they’re busy getting it prepped for the summer when they also plan on opening it up to the public for a day so they can have a look inside.

They might also want to refurbish the structure because they might be needing it for its actual intent sooner than they think, and indeed it is a great bit of history that most of the world has forgotten about, although they need to be careful that the council isn’t round immediately to increase their tax, saying that they now have additional space.

And in this day and age, if someone else found it in their back garden, they might rent it out for about £400 a month.

This was an extremely good find, and it’s nice to see that they’re getting use from it, and a real-life history lesson and hopefully it will be a reminder of how people protected themselves from the perils of war.

London To Be Hammered By Snow And Ice 

Snow and ice could hit London as an Arctic blast will cause temperatures across the United Kingdom to fall below freezing tonight.

A yellow weather warning will be in place for the capital, the Thames Valley, East Anglia, parts of the Midlands and South Wales from 9 pm tonight until 10 am tomorrow, as well as in Northern Ireland.

Temperatures will plummet to -10C tomorrow in parts of the country as up to 30cm of snow could fall in isolated areas across Scotland. Other places could see 10-20cm of snowfall.

A level three cold weather warning has been triggered as the Met Office warns that sub-zero temperatures could pose a severe threat to vulnerable people.

The Met Office has extended its yellow weather alert for snow and ice to include much of England, Wales and Northern Ireland today as Britain shivers through the coldest day of the year.

Up to 4 inches of snow will fall across northern England and Scotland today. It will bring the threat of sleet and snow in the Midlands and southern England later in the week.

The forecasting body said temperatures in parts of the United Kingdom would drop below freezing tonight and will not top mid-single figures tomorrow or Wednesday.

An alert for snow and ice is already in place in much of Northern and Eastern Scotland and North East England. The area covered by it is set to extend as far south as Hull from tomorrow before it lifts at 10 am on Wednesday.

Met Office spokesman Grahame Madge said temperatures could fall to -1C in Manchester and 2C in London tonight.

Even colder overnight conditions are set to hit cities later in the week with the mercury dropping to -4C in London and -6C in Birmingham and Belfast.

Forecasters say temperatures are likely to remain far below average for early spring for much of the week. Below-freezing temperatures are expected to persist until March 11 at least amid a sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) event.

Mr Madge said conditions could be comparable to those encountered during a cold snap in December 2022 and may not lift for almost a fortnight, and he said temperatures will be much, much colder than we would expect at this time of the year.

He said the pattern will set in for some time, and that we have got this feed of cold air coming in from a much higher latitude.

But don’t worry, Mayor Khan said he can regulate the weather if you pay him enough money, and if you give him enough ULEZ spondulix, your air will be like a springtime breeze over a flower-covered meadow, but back in the real world, he’ll claim he’s too skint to grit your roads and doesn’t give a stuff if the buses slide about – he’ll just use the scant bit of grit left in the depot to do the cycle lanes.

Of course, a scarf, hat and gloves would keep the freezing weather at bay, but numerous people don’t appear to know what these items are for. Instead, you see fools in shorts or nylon jogging bottoms and tee shirts.

This cold snap is what used to be referred to as winter, where snow was so thick it almost came up to your knees. We whined about it but we just got on with it. Nobody had time off from work, and if it was difficult to get into work, there were incentives to get there, like a little bit of extra cash in your pay packet at the end of the week. We even had car shares for people who couldn’t get to work because trains might have come to a stand still – but people managed.

At 18 Years Old, Britain’s Youngest Bus Driver Takes To The Roads

Britain’s youngest bus driver is taking to the roads after passing his test with no minors, at the age of just 18.

Luke Brown is now a qualified bus driver for National Express in Coventry, West Midlands, and says he loves everything about driving.

The teenager was motivated by his dad, Stuart, who’s worked for the company for 20 years as a bus driver.

After completing his driver training, Luke passed his Passenger Carrying Vehicle (PCV) licence for the first time with no faults.

He said working with his dad would be one of the best things about the new job, along with helping people to get around.

A full-time driver in Coventry can earn £28,500, even more with overtime.

Luke said that he was looking forward to spending more time on the road, helping more people get around and working alongside his dad, who’s worked for the garage for the past 20 years. Although, he said, that there’s now a bit of competition between him and his dad for who’s the better driver, and he said that it feels great to have passed with no minors.

He said that he put a lot of time and effort into practising for the test so it was very satisfying to know that his hard work paid off and that having a supportive team around him helped a lot.

He said that during his training, no question was too silly and my instructor was calm and informative so he didn’t feel pressured at all, which he believes really spurred his development.

Darren Dunbar, driver training officer at National Express Coventry, said that to pass a PCV licence at 18 years of age with zero minors was a major achievement and that each year they have hundreds of drivers who start training, and out of those, only about two or three pass their test without fault.

He said that they weren’t surprised by Luke’s result. He puts 100 per cent into everything he does and that definitely showed in his driving, and he said that he was really pleased for him, that he’s a lovely guy and was a great asset to the garage.

It comes after a teenage girl previously became Britain’s youngest bus driver aged 18.

Ellie Rose Houghton passed her PCV bus test with flying colours and started driving an 87-seater double-decker bus.

Well done to the young man!

The Moment A Female Amazon Driver Urinates On A Customer’s Driveway

An Amazon driver taking a cheeky toilet break outside her van was caught on CCTV by the homeowners she was delivering to.

Les Weston, 54, and Emma Marsden, 44, had been eagerly awaiting the delivery of their new hair trimmer and tracking the delivery, they were keeping an eye on the CCTV camera positioned outside their front door on February 28.

When the delivery driver arrived that evening, they thought that she’d fallen over and were concerned that she was injured, but when they studied the footage again after the delivery, they uncovered the truth, that she’d been urinating at the bottom of their driveway.

The CCTV footage sees the Amazon Prime van pull up outside the house before the woman hops out of the cab, and there squatting over behind the open van door, she quickly tugs down her trousers and urinates, before standing up again a few seconds later.

She checks about to see if anyone has noticed before grabbing the parcel for Mr Watson and Ms Marsden and then delivers it to their home.

The couple, who were watching the camera at home, thought she might have been hurt as she squats down after hopping out of the van.

Amazon has previously encountered criticism from drivers for not allowing enough time for bathroom breaks on delivery routes, and members of the GMB union based at a Coventry warehouse walked out in a disagreement over pay after voting in favour of taking industrial action.

The union, which isn’t recognised by the retail colossus, is asking for a base pay of £15.

Warehouse operatives for Amazon are presently being recruited for wages of £10.75 an hour, which equates to almost £21,000 per annum for those working 37 and a half hours a week. Operatives also have the opportunity of working overtime.

An Amazon representative said that they have very high standards for the delivery service providers they work with and how they serve customers, and that they would contact the customer to apologise for the experience and would make this right.

The spokesperson said they were committed to treating drivers with respect and set realistic performance expectations.

They continued that they use sophisticated technology to plan delivery routes to ensure that drivers weren’t receiving and driving with too many packages and that drivers delivered at their own pace and took breaks at their discretion and this was clearly communicated during training.

It must have been extremely embarrassing that the woman was put on footage and then online. These drivers are under such pressure and obviously don’t have the time to go and find a proper place for a wee.

Of course, it’s much easier for a male driver because they can have a pail in the back or a few bottles to wee into, but for women, it’s very much different.

The woman likely hasn’t got the time to stop for a toilet break or to eat, come to that with Amazon’s unrealistic delivery deadlines – it’s nothing but slave labour! And it probably happens every day with most delivery drivers because there are not many toilets available, and they’re under pressure on their delivery routes.

This poor woman needed a pee for pity’s sake, and when you’ve got to go, you’ve got to go, and now this woman could lose her job over this.

This is just natural human body function, and people need to stop twitching their curtains to see what’s going on, and I feel for the drivers who are on horrible targets and low pay!

Harry And Meghan Are Invited To The Coronation By The King

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been invited to the coronation of his father King Charles later this year, but are declining to ascertain whether or not they will attend.

Prince Harry, who along with his wife Meghan, has launched a string of notable attacks against the Royal Family in recent months, has confirmed he received an email from his father about the event.

The coronation, which is set to be seen by millions of people in the United Kingdom and potentially billions around the world, will take place on May 6, the same day as the fourth birthday of Archie, Harry’s son.

The news comes days after Charles booted his son and daughter-in-law out of their British home, Frogmore Cottage, a move that’s thought to complicate any forthcoming visits to the United Kingdom from the California-based couple.

It was revealed the same night Harry talked openly about his use of illegal drugs during a private conversation with toxic trauma expert Dr Gabor Mate in an online live stream.

There’s been much discussion in recent months about whether King Charles would invite his youngest son to his coronation.

The relationship between the Sussexes and the remainder of the Royal Family has become strained in recent years, with both Harry and Meghan publicly criticising the Firm.

As well as hitting out at the institution, Harry exposed private and intimate conversations concerning himself and other members of this family in his memoir ‘Spare’, which was released earlier this year.

The publication saw tumultuous details of the fractious relationship between Harry and his older brother William laid bare, including the Duke retelling how they were involved in a physical argument that left Harry visibly injured.

This was followed by Charles evicting Harry and Meghan from their grace-and-favour home, Frogmore Cottage, which lies on the grounds of the Windsor estate.

It’s been suggested that the King will offer the Sussexes the opportunity to use Prince Andrew’s Buckingham Palace apartment as an olive branch to entice them into returning to the United Kingdom for visits.

Despite this, a spokesman for the Sussexes confirmed that the couple has now been invited to the occasion.

A Sussex representative told a newspaper outlet that they could confirm The Duke has newly received email correspondence from His Majesty’s office concerning the coronation, and that an immediate decision on whether The Duke and Duchess would attend would not be revealed by them at this time.

Although, I would guess that a lot of the British public doesn’t want them here in the United Kingdom. Although, I can’t speak for the British public! And it doesn’t look like the King is thinking of his British public – why should he, after all, Harry is his son, although I hope that his being here with his wife won’t ruin such a big event – remember Harry, it’s your father’s coronation, NOT YOURS!

At least now with their invitation, they can’t play the victims in all of this.

King Charles is a father and he will do what he can to try to repair his relationship with his son, and as a Grandfather build a relationship with his grandchildren.

Being far from a Royalist I still understand that they’re a family and that King Charles would want to mend the tatters that Harry and Meghan have caused. I can also understand that Harry is a human being and wants to have his voice in things, and how his family life has impacted him. After all, feelings and compassion aren’t something that the Royal Family have much of!

Aneurysm And Stroke Claim The Life Of 61-Year-Old Tom Sizemore

Actor Tom Sizemore has died at the age of 61 after his family took him off life support after suffering from a brain aneurysm last month.

Tom Sizemore, best known for his roles in Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down, and Pearl Harbor, passed away in a Los Angeles hospital after his family made the difficult decision to take him off life support.

The actor had been in the hospital since February 18 after he suffered from a brain aneurysm that was brought on by a stroke.

His representative Charles Lago said in a statement that it was with great sadness and sorrow to have to announce that actor Thomas Edward Sizemore, aged 61, passed away peacefully in his sleep at St Joseph’s Hospital Burbank. His brother Paul and twin boys Jayden and Jagger were by his side.

Tom Sizemore collapsed last month around 2 am and was rushed to the emergency room in critical condition while unconscious. He never regained consciousness.

It was reported by USA Today that his family had announced that there wasn’t much else they could do for Tom as he was showing no signs of improvement and remained in a coma.

Lago said that doctors informed the family that there was no further hope and had advised an end-of-life decision.

The Pearl Harbour actor had a history of addiction and wrote a memoir on it in 2013, titled: By Some Miracle, I Made It Out of There.

He told AP in 2013 that people could tell if he was drunk, and then he would say, ‘Hey, look, let me find a drug where I feel comfortable in my own skin’, and he said that he did find a drug, it was called cocaine, and that he did that for a while. Then he found an even better drug, it was called heroin.

He also had a few run-ins with the law, including a conviction for assault and battery in 2003 from his ex-partner Heidi Fleiss. He was also accused in 2020 of groping an 11-year-old on set, but the case was later dismissed.

Prior to his hospitalisation, Tom Sizemore was set to teach an acting class, at Harvelle’s Nightclub in Los Angeles.

The Golden Globe nominee, who was born in Detroit, has appeared in 230 roles over his 30-year career.

His manager also said he was personally very saddened by the loss of not only his client but a great friend and mentor of almost 15 years.

He was a fantastic performer, and he was a talented man that undoubtedly lived with so many demons, but with everything that was going on, he was also extremely charismatic.

He starred in some great movies and fitted each character perfectly, and our condolences should go out to his family and friends, who I’m sure will miss him very much.

Tom Sizemore was one of the greats, and he will never be forgotten because his talent and brilliance will live on in acting.

He was definitely the greatest actor of his generation, and he should be put up there with De Niro and Pacino, and had the action of McQueen. Hollywood and the entire entertainment industry will never be the same.

He was one of the bad boys, and when he was on screen, you felt that heat and intensity, and he could say a lot, with just one look, and that’s called good acting.

Do You Allow Your Bank To Take Advantage Of You?

Is your bank ripping you off?

Actually, scrap that, the question should be, are you letting your bank rip you off?

We all know that banks and building societies like to pass on rate hikes in a more timely and complete manner to borrowers than they do to savers.

Yet, as interest rates have been picked up off the floor and launched into the sky over the past year, Britain’s major banks have been thoroughly gratifying themselves.

Analysis by This is Money showed the magnitude of this last week when number crunching of Britain’s Big Five banks’ annual results revealed they raked in an additional £7 billion from broadening net interest margins.

Net interest margin is a fundamental banking industry figure, calculating the gap between what borrowers are charged and what savers are paid.

The greater the number, the better the spread, and the more returns for the bank.

Figures revealed the full scale of how Barclays, NatWest, Lloyds, HSBC and Santander made additional money by passing on more of the Bank of England’s interest rate hikes to borrowers than savers.

In total, the banks scooped a tidy £39.9 billion in total from the gap between savers and borrowers, and this is how much each bank made on net interest margins.

Of course, you would expect banks to make some money on this. A banking industry with no or very low net interest margins isn’t going to be a particularly stable one, and we all have long enough memories

Of course, you would expect banks to make some money on this. A banking industry with no or very low net interest margins is not going to be a particularly stable one – and we all have long enough memories to remember why we like banks and building societies to have a healthy degree of stability.

Nonetheless, the Big Five clocking up an additional £7 billion means that they made a chunky 21 per cent more from net interest margins than they did the year before.

And don’t forget, the analysis only looked at the figures from the big banks, the real cost to savers once you count in the rest of the banks and big and small building societies would be far greater.

You’d like to believe that after years of rock bottom rates, and a recent history of such illustrious insult accounts as the 0.1 or even 0.01 per cent savings rate, banks would endeavour to offer savers a better deal as the base rate finally began to rise.

Energy companies make billions. Banks make billions. Supermarkets make record profits. Yet there’s never enough money for reasonable salaries, and we’ve got a Government that constantly fails the people and provides no defence against silly price hikes, and all that banks are – are gangsters in suits. Along with pharmaceutical companies, energy goliaths and politicians who all work hand in hand to steal from us legally.

And now they’re trying to close banks so it’s impossible to get cash and then when you use your credit or debit cards to pay for something they then deduct a percentage from the already struggling businesses who are receiving your payments. So, they’re making money over fist because they no longer have to pay for the upkeep of their branches or pay workers, and then as soon as interest rates rise they raise mortgage fees. So, you’d really expect them to pass some of that bounty onto their customers.

Never in the field of finance have so many been shafted by so few.

A ‘Tyre Tax’ Could Be Imposed On Drivers

British motorists could face a ‘tyre tax’ in the Government’s latest crackdown on emissions detrimental to the environment.

Ministers at the Department for Transport have hired consultants to advise on how to deal with the emissions that scientists say are more harmful than the fumes from fuel.

Although numerous brits are struggling with the cost of living crisis there are strong indications some could be hit with a ‘tyre tax’.

After environment activists won ground in pushing UK drivers to purchase electric cars, the next battle will probably be in brake and tyre wear.

And there’s a possibility that electric vehicles could create more road emissions than petrol cars as they’re usually heavier, so damage the tarmac to a greater degree.

A newspaper outlet, however, said that Whitehall had insisted the consultancy work wasn’t being carried out ahead of a new proposed tax.

A Government spokesman said that they want to better understand the impacts of non-exhaust emissions, such as tyres, on the environment which was why they were conducting research on the matter, and that the research wasn’t commissioned to inform tax policy development.

The spokesman said that as they continue to deliver on their target to meet Net Zero by 2050, they were committed to keeping the switch to electric vehicles affordable to consumers, which was why they were spending billions to help incentivise uptake and fund the rollout of charging infrastructure across the United Kingdom.

RAC’s roads policy chief Nicholas Lyes told a newspaper outlet that the talk of a tyre tax was incredibly premature and that it could do more harm than good by causing more injuries and deaths on the roads by putting drivers off replacing worn-out tyres when they should.

He said that if levied at the point of sale, it would lead to cheaper tyres being taxed more heavily as they’re far more likely to wear more quickly and shed a higher number of particles into the environment and better quality ones being taxed less. And that making cheaper tyres more expensive would no doubt cause some to continue driving on illegal tyres, compromising road safety for everyone.

The news comes as it was revealed most Britons believe controversial ultra-low emission zones (ULEZ) in the capital were designed to cream money off motorists and stimulate new car sales.

Some 40 per cent of Britons surveyed for MailOnline believe that the primary function of the zones, where high-polluting vehicles have to pay a daily tariff was improving air quality.

How about we just end the technocratic betrayal that’s UK Parliament and replace it with something that’s honest and lawful? But hey people, they’ve found a new fake excuse to tax you all!

It’s all about tax, tax, tax and if you don’t pay it they’ll fine you and might even take you to court, and people are getting sick to death of it. Meanwhile, there are those who have just set foot in this country of ours from their little sailboats who have everything provided by those who pay their taxes. Here, let’s give you some money. Here let’s give you a house – oh and here, let’s give you a car!

And here was me stupidly thinking we already paid a ‘tyre tax’. That’s what I thought the Road Fund Licence was all about. 

The Government should just go away, but of course, while they’re doing that they’ll have far too much time on their hands thinking up another tax they can impose on us!

Next week, Britain Could Be Battered By More Snow And Ice

Britain could be hit by snow and ice in the coming days as temperatures plunge below the average for March.

The Met Office said a highly amplified jet stream will push colder weather from near Greenland towards the north of the United Kingdom by the weekend.

Meteorologists say that could then lead to disruptive snow in areas by the beginning of next week.

However, the disruption isn’t expected to be as severe as the conditions witnessed in 2018 when Britain was struck by the ‘Beast from the East’.

It comes as a deep freeze has gripped Europe in recent days, with snow even covering some of the continent’s most favoured summer holiday destinations.

Explaining next week’s forecast, Aidan McGivern, from the Met Office, said that during the weekend, low pressure over the Mid-North Atlantic would start to feed energy northward and allow high pressure over the United Kingdom to migrate towards Greenland.

He said that at the same time, there’s a highly amplified, very perturbed jet stream.

He added that it loops around this low pressure and then pushes all the way back to the north of the high pressure that’s developing over Greenland, allowing this northerly feed that’s allowing the colder weather to push into the north of the United Kingdom by the end of Saturday.

Mr McGivern added that the cold air would most likely be pushed into the north and east areas of Britain, though the pattern could change as the week progresses.

He said that as that happens the low pressure from the south and the west was likely to push in and mix with the cold in the north and east, leading to some disruptive snow in places by the start of next week.

The Met Office’s long-range forecast for the rest of the month also warns of wintry showers and heavy snow. However, any disruption in the coming days isn’t expected to be on the scale of the snowstorm dubbed the Beast from the East.

Mark Sidaway, the deputy chief meteorologist with the Met Office, told Sky News that although there had been a sudden stratospheric warming event and other drivers pointing towards colder conditions in March, at this stage there was a low chance of having widely disruptive winter weather like that of five years ago in March 2018.

It comes as regions of the continent renowned for its hot temperatures, including the French island of Corsica, have been covered with snow this week as Storm Juliette sweeps across the Mediterranean.

Saying that, it’s a bit of bad weather, expected for this time of the year. It’s not like we’re going to war, or all dying of bird flu, although numerous pensioners with the cost of living crisis could freeze to death – but watch this space because anything could happen in the next ten minutes!

But it’s all about doom and gloom, and let’s face it, there’s a lot of that about.

The weather is all about models and predictions that indicate it could occur, but they can’t predict which way the front will go, and if it does come our way we might get some sleet or snow, maybe even a few cold spells, and we will deal with it, but it always gets sensationalised by the weatherman.

Let’s face it, an inch of snow on the high ground isn’t going to batter Great Britain, but the chilly weather could batter an old-aged pensioner, and as usual, Scotland will likely get some snow, and the rest of the UK might get a tad chilly.
