How the hell do you bugger up a business model where you're selling a product which everyone needs and you're the only supplier.

Because it’s not an industry you can really make a profit from, the overheads tend to eat most of it up.


I don’t believe in a state managerial economy but there are certain industries that are what’s called natural monopolies. For all the talk of encouraging the entrepreneurial spirit, Maggie sold off water to bring some quick money into the treasury coffers.

This is quite close to me! Not that close, but close enough.
Sounds like it was quite a targeted attack against some bloke's wife and two (adult) daughters. As in it's not some loony indiscriminately shooting people.

There was something funny about this on the BBC: “Home Secretary considers tougher crossbow laws”

Yes. Because of all the marauding gangs of thugs roaming round armed with crossbows.
Just nonsense posturing designed to appeal to people who don’t understand statistics

Well it’s not exactly a practical weapon.

To be honest I’m not quite sure how he managed to kill three people in the same family, you get one person unaware but surely by the time it takes to reload the other two would have fucked off.

Either he’s got re-loading down to a fine art form or they froze in panic

He’s been caught now so we can all go out of our houses again.
Good point about how he managed to kill 3 people

or maybe one bolt went through all three at once? it would certainly be the most efficient way

Never run from a man with a crossbow in single file I guess

They tried the old Wile E. Cayote running away from a train technique?
Schoolgirl error tbh
