    Well this is a little fucked up.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news…

    "Two sons have forgiven their mother for trying to gas them to death using barbecues as she was today jailed for more than five years.

    Lisa Walmsley, 51, hid camp burners underneath the beds of her sons Lewis, 20, and Callum, 21, on News Years Day last year while in the midst of a nervous breakdown.

    University student Lewis noticed carbon monoxide fumes engulfing his room and ran for help.

    But his mother then drove Callum away in the family BMW while secretly burning barbecues in the back of the car. "

    .

    Also, what is it with the Daily Mail always detailling the cost of the house of whoever they're covering? Fucking little Englander obsession.

    • It's a mad richer thing, mind that guy who shot his whole family and burned his horses because he was going to be poor?

    • 'Pictures show remains of £1.2million home gutted by fire by millionaire businessman after he shot dead his wife, daughter, horses and dogs'PhanLo
    • I think it's less "better dead than a commoner", more "i've totally failed in the entiriety of the roles i have as father and husband, etc"Nairn
    • I actually had a conversation with a friend about that exact same case a few months back, realising that I could actually appreciate where he came fromNairn
    • not that think that killing your family, animals and house is an appropriate solution - just that "I could understand".
      I was a bit stressed at the time.      Nairn
    • Killing yourself is fair enough. Killing your partner and kids is pretty fucked.
      Financial pressure makes people do dumb extreme things I suppose.      PhanLo
    • At the start of lockdown I mentioned a bar owner that, seeing his businesses going down, drank a bottle of whisky and walked into the sea.PhanLo
    • Completely irrational, but I suppose the problems become so overpowering that it seems there's no escape. He had a wife and two kids.PhanLo
    • Ha. that would've resonated to me a few years back, the whole 'walk into the sea' thing. Now I have a kid? Fuckno. No matter how bad it gets. But I 'get' it.Nairn
    • He left his dog in the Land Rover too, bit of a dick move. Took a couple of months before his body washed up.
      Defo feel you on the Daily Mail property thing tho      PhanLo
