Funnily enough I spent a lot of time working with a programme that supports prisoners and their families. It's a huge part of rehabilitation that they maintain contact if possible but you are absolutely correct, those who have a loved one commit an awful crime are often overlooked when we think about victims. It's not just the emotional side of it either; there are practicalities like loss of earnings, potential homelessness, retaliation from the community etc.
That sounds incredibly interesting. Some people just cannot be rehabilitated but there are some amazing stories of people that have and I always think that there is a more positive outcome from these scenarios. A lot of people won't or don't care to understand that and believe someone should just rot in jail. However, that does no one any good at all. I know many will disagree but rehabilitation is paramount to any slice of good to come from something so bad. Absolutely, the partner of the lad was in a lot of my classes at secondary school, the likelihood is she will have to resettle somewhere else now because in this particular case, it was the friends of the victim who goaded the defendant. Knowing the area they are from, a retaliation would certainly be highly possible. Even though the victims wife has been quoted as saying she is happy that justice has been done and they can help put some closure for everyone. It was just extremely unfortunate that the legal nemesis 'alcohol' was party to this incident and the resulting outcome was the worst possible. |

of course it isn't. What makes me laugh if people on social media all of a sudden posting "2 stabbings in 2 day, time to get out of this town" as if they think its going to be any better anywhere else. |

The 'come to Bristol' comment was bizarre, given the crime levels there. |

Well... There are much better places to live to be honest. The biggest news story in my town is that a pub got a new name. |

This could go in either thread.
Got underpaid at work today by quite a substatial amount due to cash flow, after moaning to everyone all day, I got a call after work about the job I applied for a couple of week ago offering me an interview. Been looking at changing jobs for a while and after today it couldn’t have come sooner. Just needed to impress in the interview now.

Going into a public bog and finding someone else's floater, a massive floater. It won't flush away.  The next person's gonna think it's mine  |

Good luck, plus if its good I assume you won't have to work your existing notice as they have breached your contract by not paying you? |
