Three Darwin Awards in one day?

Again, Van lacks an actual argument and is simply insisting that the observable facts are not so.

There's an almost Tom Sharpesque bitter comic inevitability about this story:

"Eight people have been taken to hospital and four are in a critical condition after an incident at a concert venue in south London.

Police were called to the Brixton O2 Academy at 21:35 GMT on Thursday, during a gig by afro-pop singer Asake.

Officers were responding to reports of a large number of people trying to force their way into the venue.

A number of people were found with injuries believed to have been caused by crushing, police said.

An investigation has been launched and cordons remain in place at the venue on Stockwell Road. No arrests have been made.

It was the third of three sold-out shows the Nigerian singer, sometimes known as Mr Money, had performed in Brixton.

Cdr Ade Adelekan from the Metropolitan Police said the scene will be examined by specialist officers as part of an investigation which will be "as thorough and as forensic as necessary".

He said: "This is an extremely upsetting incident which has left four people critically ill in hospital. My thoughts and prayers are with them and their families."

The Met's directorate of professional standards will view all material, including body worn video footage from the officers at the scene, Scotland Yard said."

An afro-beat performance basically gets steamed by a bunch of across who end up killing and injuring other as well as ruining the event. The event itself has to be heavily policed and is commanded by an afro police officer.

So far, so vibrant. The outcome is inevitable: the police immediately look to blame themselves.

Why can't they control themselves?

It's a sort of lack of impulse control. Like indulged toddlers.

Poor people. What's happened to fire regs these days?

Not sure that really belongs in the Darwin Awards thread, unless they knew the cladding on their building was provided by Tory donors.

I thought I could smell fish drying.

I see one of the chicks at the Nigerian gig has died.

[perrykneeham]

Bound to happen with vibro-compression injuries.

Poor woman.

Talking of fish frying...

Hundreds of diners had to run for their lives as a fire ripped through a swanky restaurant in London.

Footage shared on social media shows flames engulfing the MNKY HSE restaurant on Dover Street in Mayfair last night.

People can be heard screaming ‘Go, go, go’ and ‘Get out’ as they ran under what appeared to be Christmas decorations that had caught alight.

Some could even be seen tumbling to the floor in the rush to escape the flames, as others ducked and covered their heads.

[perrykneeham]

Swanky. Now there's a word.

[ootlg]

I'm reintroducing 'guzzle' into my repertoire. Lovely word.

[mids]

Pizzle. Not that there's much call for it but in the right context...

[unclejunior]

Brixton. A ticketless mob gathers for a ‘music’ gig and, try and force their way in ,surprise surprise, mayhem and violence ensue as large numbers actually force their way in.

The police are called, and in the brawl a woman gets pushed down three steps.

The BBC are delighted to post the footage, amidst a clamour for the police to be investigated.

How long before the rioting and looting, and how long before Khant, Lamey and Abbopotamus jump on the bandwagon?

Diversity is our strength.….

I blame Dibble. Now, Where's my cheque book?

I wonder how many British passports will be required in the name of justice?

[perrykneeham]

The Empire Doorrush.

Hahaha!

[perrykneeham]

If only the racist authorities had put in place rules and regulations concerning safe numbers of people in venues, means of escape, fire precautions and crowd control.

It was basically state-directed murder.

Genocide, really.

No O2 Academy.

I wonder where was from. Where she was really from. Clapham?
