Subject: RE: Is this how Londoners care for each other?
Mick - well done!   I think your point went over the heads of many of our "friends" here on Mudcat, but you proved the point. It is interesting to see some of the same folks who were blaming NYC and the U.S. for that other story have taken another stance when it is in their own backyard.   It is food for thought.

The story that you posted, which is really secondary to the topic, is a horrific story that is repeated ALL OVER THE GLOBE.   I remember a very moving song called "Behind the Door" which was sung by a UK group known as the Ranting Sleazos. That story, based on another incident about 20 years ago, was about a young single mother who died leaving a young child. The child was able to attract attention by dropping blocks out of a mail slot.

By the way, it should be remembered that "trolling" derives from a fishing term, and the action is meant to catch fish. The action has a purpose that is benefitial.   If you feel that you do not want to be caught, avoid the hook.
