The country has gone to hell in a hand basket.
The political class did this.

Acid attacks didnt exist when i was growing up in the 70s ... wonder why ? 🤔

[BigRed-gkde]

Who’s willing to bet it was a “mental health episode” from a certain kind of ‘person’

[Rayanmiah]

Sadek khan and Labour councillors are busy putting up LTN cameras and closing more roads instead of focusing on crime

[karlhunt]

It's strange but growing up we never suffered from acid attacks and knife crime . Wonder what's changed.

[haroldland]

This is a day late, no description of suspects, we all know why.

These types of acid attacks are known to happen in more traditionally India Pakistan when they shamelessly hurt women for made up reasons, now it's happening in this country, acid attack victims requested freedom of information on harmony acid attacks happened in the last year, it's a shocking number and there's a lot more than not reported,

 2023, there were 1, 244 recorded acid attacks in the UK, a 75% increase from 2022. This includes 454 physical attacks and 790 other alleged offenses, such as carrying corrosives or threatening to use acid in other crimes


Why are we not hearing about this on the news???

[jameselliott]

Why are these horrific attacks becoming more common ?

[robinlarge]

Never had this in my pistols was as far as it went in 'the olden days'. Disgusting state of affairs. 😡

[sutats]

Maybe the suspect might jump into the Thames too.

[scroggins]

What has become of my once lovely country. There is a never a day goes by when the sad decline of morality continues. God knows where we will end up..

[janetleroux]

I can not listen to this news report. If my children were of school age they would be home schooled, black belts and wearing stab vests. Parents need to step up and those that actively, allow their children to commit these crimes, need to be jailed for the same amount of time as their children.

[JBroMCMXCI]

How do we know who to look for if they don’t give a description? Are we safe in public?

[spencerbungard]

No description! 100% imported Doctor or Scientist!!! MSM's silence is all we need to know.

[kevenhulbert]

Acid attack is a 3rd world crime i wonder why this is happening in The UK

[jondonnelly]

I hate the term life-changing. It dosn't reflect the severity of such injuries. Should use life-ruining or life-destroying or something that reflects the severity.

[timgardner]

They won't find the attacker, we need a new police force ran and operated by actual smart logical people not influenced by politics or corrupt

[DSS]

This will all be brushed under the carpet to protect the peacefuls

[DavidCole-ev]

Why are all these Welsh 'doctors and engineers' always so violent? 🤔

[blakkno]

What does the perpetrator look like so we know who to look out for???
Police aren't saying???..
Okay.... 🤔
