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.

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by 'groves' (Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
