"Cactus: Unwelcoming!"
To be fair, no man wants his dick near a cactus, so I'll call that point fair.

Maybe don't plaster so much garbage to your walls, ladies. The wallpaper and that Pier 1 reject mirror just scream "I have no sense of taste". Every bit as cringe as commemorative plates or Precious Moments figurines.

What's wrong with a cactus? Cactii are awesome as houseplants and you can make tequila from them (okay, you probably need a specific type of cactus, I'm not sure).

I'm more put off by her dress sense than a bloody cactus (which are fucking cool by the way).
Day-glo yellow dress with a black patterned jumper? No thanks.

Because I'm totally not going to be gagging at the site of the ugly wallpaper that resembles your ugly fashion sense. She dresses like a old lady who works at a library.

The portrait of her with her pet cat is a pretty good sign she’s a single woman.

Towson University police have asked students and staff to be on the lookout for a woman in her 50s wearing a multicolored scarf. She’s looking for a date for her son.
Students complained to officers that she approached them last week in two campus buildings, the Cook Library and Center for the Arts, showing them a picture on her cell phone and asking if they were interested in dating her son.
It caused enough of a disturbance that police alerted students via an “incident advisory” that included a link to surveillance footage of the woman. They asked anyone with information about the woman or the incidents to contact university police at 410-704-4444.
University officials said the woman isn’t being sought for any criminal investigation, but simply to put the behavior to a stop.
“This incident advisory is being provided in order to make the TU Community aware of an incident on campus that may cause concern,” Charles Herring, chief of the university police department, wrote in an e-mail to the campus community. “This advisory is intended to heighten awareness and inform the community of incidents that may impact their safety and security.”
So... cell phone as an attraction sign maybe?

Yeah. When men, who are already at a woman's house, decide whether or not they'll spend more time with her, they base that decision on how they decorate. Everyone knows Men are very very conscious of interior decorating...
I do like that the scam artist calls herself an "Interiors therapist"
Like, she can't even use proper grammar and say "Interior therapist" for her made up job.
EDIT: Oh damn it's a .UK, those goofballs probably think that's a normal way to talk.

The fact the truck driver wasn't also killed is surprising.
I'm not 100% sure why the fuck the helicopter was attempting a landing at such a location though. I assume some sort of mechanical failure but yeah.

Just goes to show that it can happen at any time.
Just imagine, one minute you're sitting in traffic talking to somebody on the phone, and the next you're a fucking pancake from a falling helicopter.

Im down with free helicopter rides for fake news, but you're supposed to do it over open water so there's no unsightly mess to clean up!

An active freeway being the best spot the pilot could possibly set down the helicopter in time speaks to the direness of the situation they found themselves in. It's a miracle no motorists were killed as well. A shitty last few moments to life but at least it was probably quick. All around tragic. RIP in peace, dudes.

Once again, Center and Eastern Europe showing the rest of the western world how it's done.
Viktor Orbán delivers his state of the nation speech in Budapest on Sunday.
Hungary’s populist prime minister, Viktor Orbán, has promised that women who have four or more children will never pay income tax again, in a move aimed at boosting the country’s population.
Orbán, who has emerged as Europe’s loudest rightwing, anti-immigration voice in recent years, said getting Hungarian families to have more children was preferable to allowing immigrants from Muslim countries to enter.
“In all of Europe there are fewer and fewer children, and the answer of the west to this is migration,” said Orbán in his annual state of the nation address on Sunday. “They want as many migrants to enter as there are missing kids, so that the numbers will add up. We Hungarians have a different way of thinking. Instead of just numbers, we want Hungarian children. Migration for us is surrender.”
Orbán’s Fidesz party won a third consecutive electoral victory last year on an anti-migration platform, and the Hungarian prime minister rarely gives a speech without presenting the upcoming years as a do-or-die battle for the future of Europe. He has voiced a hope that after elections in May, all European institutions will be controlled by “anti-migration forces”.
He has repeatedly claimed that the Hungarian-born American financier and philanthropist George Soros, a favoured target of the far right across the globe, is masterminding a conspiracy to destroy Europe by promoting mass migration.
A participant holds up a flare during a protest against Orbán on the day of his state of the nation address.
“The people of Europe have come to a historic crossroads,” Orbán said on Sunday, criticising the “mixed population countries” that result from allowing migration. The process was moving so quickly, he said, that the transformation of previously Christian countries into those where Christians were a minority would happen in his lifetime. “There is no return ticket,” he said.
Demographic decline is a problem in many societies in central and eastern Europe, with millions of people leaving countries such as Hungary, Poland, Romania and Bulgaria in the years after their accession to the EU for higher salaries in western Europe. This, combined with low birth rates, has contributed to shrinking populations and fuelled fears of dying communities across the region.
Instead of looking to migration to solve the labour shortages and population decline, populist governments have rejected this option. Orbán built a wall along the country’s southern border to keep migrants out during the 2015 refugee crisis, and government-controlled media frequently links migration to moral decline and terrorism in western Europe.
As the prime minister spoke, anti-Orbán protesters gathered in Budapest for the latest in a series of rallies against the government which began in December after parliament passed a “slave law” allowing employers to demand more overtime from workers. The law is seen as another result of the demographic problems in the country, as a labour shortage means jobs cannot be filled. The political opposition to Orbán is divided, however, and the protest momentum appears to have diminished.
Orbán has declared the main focus of his current term in office to be the demographic situation, and his government launched a “public consultation” last year, mailing questionnaires with a number of leading questions about migration and family policy to every Hungarian household.
On Sunday, he announced a number of measures to support larger families in addition to the lifetime income tax break for women with more than four children. He also promised favourable mortgage terms for families with multiple children, support for families with three or more children to buy a car, and increased funding for daycare centres and kindergartens.
