You are looking for rational thought processes and reasoning, where clearly neither exist.

[Mamyalynne]

Let those in charge of him now he is sectioned deal with this.

[bednobs]

yikes, who did he kill?

[naomi24]

No one - fortunately.

[david small]

Another nutter, enjoying ‘care in the community’.

// You are looking for rational thought processes and reasoning, where clearly neither exist.// yup

if they are sectioned because they are mad - they are - - well lu-lu. Swinging from the light shades. - - not quietly eccentric

Knight's move thinking is one - - by the way I was standing in the road, I knew I was Jesus Christ reincarnated

mad

[Peter Pedant]

having been on the front end of "lack of care in the community"
when it is bad ( usually ) it is pretty terrible

[Peter Pedant]

I think this should be cross-bow wallah
certianly not assassin - dont you have to kill someone to be one of them ?

(he was an armed bank robber but he stayed on the couch playing video games)

[Khandro]

If he is a Sikh as is claimed, it is very puzzling, I have always found them to be good, dependable people & loyal to the crown.

[douglas9401]

Aye Khandro, every single one of them. (raises eyes).

Full marks to The Sun for padding.

[Khandro]

They like Johnnie Walker Black Label doug, as I can attest having once been to a Sikh wedding. At least you must approve of that?

[douglas9401]

It's good as an antiseptic in an emergency, Khandro.

I'm more of a Speyside kinda guy.

[Khandro]

When over the border, it's always a large Tamdhu & a wee heavy for me.

[roopower]

Very helpful of the Sun to add a box explaining you can buy a crossbow on Amazon for £60

[Khandro]

roo: yes, perhaps the whole thing is a publicity stunt by crossbow manufacturers.

[douglas9401]

Time will Tell

[david small]

As in William Tell?

[Peter Pedant]

didnt a Sikh kill colonel doo-dah? Amritsar 1918 - worked as his secretary before hand O'Dwyer

didnt sikhs kill indira? having sworn personal fealty to her (oops!)?

[bednobs]

the sun story puzzled me on lots of counts. they say he scaled a fence with a rope ladder then put a picture of the fence which frankly even i could get over!
they make a big deal of the fact the queen was sleeping 500 mtrs away - thats nearly half a mile!
they also imply that security was lax, but they literally got him immediately he entered the grounds!
