That is an official term that the authorities use.   I will put it in quotation marks next time. 

I hope my post is helpful in stopping speculation and rubber necking.

It is what they said in the newspaper.  Have a go at them, the police, the media and everyone else you consider woke who uses this term.

What a dreadful word is woke is, a lazy term, indicative of how populist right wing organisations and individuals hate those of us who care about society, the environment and the world as a whole.  We don't wake up in the morning angry.

I'd stick to GB news, Nextdoor.com, X and the Mail on line rather than this woke forum 

Unless you are being facetious.  If so, got me 😜

Generally speaking 'life-changing' is normally a euphemism for 'physically disabling' a term which we now cannot use, but in practice there are many hidden disabilities (such as those linked to PTSD) which are actually life changing as well - where people are frightened of, for instance, going out in the dark, being with strangers and so on following  e.g. attacks, which may not leave them physically challenged at all, but psychologically severely damaged and life-changed. But that's not what the police, or hospital authorities mean when they say 'life-changing', it's just they can't now refer to physical disabilities because they are now 'different abilities'. And they want to say that it's been a pretty bad time for the injured with long-term effects.

    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
    • No, no need to shut down tfl, just cut out the unnecessary and expensive beauracracy, simples.  Sep, you don't even live here.
