Message from the "Market Deeping Model Railway Club"

"This (crowdfunding) page will close on the 19th of June. During that short period of time you, our supporters and fellow modelers have raised a staggering amount of money for which we shall ever be grateful. In addition, we have received numerous offers of goods and help in all sorts of ways. Thank you one and all We are currently formulating plans but above all we are determined that we will be promoting model railway modelling amongst the local youngsters and model rail clubs."

5,435 people gave £107,200.

Possibly, but I believe there's good evidence - not that I can cite any off the top of my head - that putting the human face in the perpetrator's mind of the victim can have a profound effect.  It can also have a cathartic and ameliorative effect on the victim as well.

Got to be worth a try?

Anyway, this has the potential to become political so let's leave it at that and send best wishes to Market Deeping Model Railway Club.

Were it me  a bullet in the perpetrator's mind would have an ameliorative effect. There are too many people on the planet and too many are about as much use as a chocolate fireguard. Then when they do something despicable we have to pay for them to be kept out of the way. Age is having a decided effect on my levels of toleration.

It's worth checking out the average age of dictators Leman - well particularly in the past - as it generally has a direct correlation to the 'angry old men' brigade time of life.

At least with dictators, the trains ran on time and I bet they wouldn't have tolerate GWR spending £millions on brand new trains which, after nearly 9 months, still haven't gotten the seating reservations to work ... mutter. mutter, mutter!

Ever travelled by train in Burma? Some dictatorships can't even run the railways.

"There are too many people on the planet..."
Amen, about 6.6 billion of them....

That's been shown as a myth.
In fact each station had a band of men who were paid to fiddle with the clocks.
