Incident on Rye Lane late evening 5th Dec

[mac4]

About 1030pm Thurs night buses stopped on Rye Lane and diversion in place, numerous police vehicles and Police tape closing off Rye Lane and some side roads. Anybody know what that was about ?  A passer-by said somebody had been shot.

Good news is that injury was not life threatening or life changing.

Can we ditch this "life changing" nonsense please? Sometimes someone has definitely had their life changed  x

For me, everyday. And every one I know   x

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.

Softened slightly as it could have been read as passive aggressive which was not the intention

Your right springtime, woke comments like ‘life changing’ get on my tits.

[malumbu]

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 😜

It should be life-threatening not life threatening, surely.

[Penguin68]

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.
