Idiots Jump Off Tower Bridge London

Into the River Thames, to cool off, during the exceptional temperatures.

Normally a busy section, they are risking their lives, if they hit something
under the water, which is 30 feet below.

the Woke society will no doubt make a statement saying that it's their right to disrupt the traffic, and create a dangerous situation on the Bridge..
 

"theotherside, Portsmouth, 4 days ago

Life threatening? Wow, what clickbait. One would assume they check to make sure there's no water traffic coming by. No different to walking across the road"
 
"Akahn, Colorado, United States, 4 days ago

They aren't "daredevils" DM, learn to use the correct words. All this is, is just kids doing stupid kid things without thinking and nothing more. Daredevils, oh man does the DM

love to make little things seem so extreme..."

Whilst I would never condone dangerous antics, it is a mark of the stupidity of youth. Back in the early 1960's the new Coventry Cathedral had just been consecrated. The Queen, being the head of The Church of England, led the service. The correct title of Coventry Cathedral is: "The Cathedral Church of Saint Michael." Saint Michael being the Arch Angel that conquered Lucifer. On the cathedral outer wall there's a statue that depicts St. Michael conquering Lucifer.

On the opposite side of the street is the students union hall of Coventry's University. Back in 1964, this eighteen-year-old travelled up from London to see The Rolling Stones who were playing at Coventry's student union hall.

Look at the height of Lucifer from the ground. Lucifer is a big lad, by that I mean, ahem, well endowed. It took about a dozen, drunken students, standing four high on each other's shoulders, giggling and laughing as one of our number finally stretched a condom over the appendage, before we all fell in a heap. No bones broken.

Back in London the next day, someone had managed to get a copy of Coventry's local newspaper. The headline read: "Well it Certainly Makes a Change From Godiva." I didn't understand it at first but later learned that Coventry's famous lady, the one who rode naked, clothed in her own chastity, at the repressive taxes imposed by her husband, The Earl Leofric, is depicted by statue in the centre of the city. Apparently it was a right of passage for students to climb the statue and place a bra on the bare breasted lady.

Ah, the stupidity of youth, I can't even climb the stairs these days.

"If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you? 149 rope-jumping daredevils take the plunge from 98ft in Brazil in attempt to set world record

  • Rope-jumping, an extreme sport, consists in jumping from impressive heights while tied to a nylon rope
  • Unlike those used in bungee jumping, the rope has no bounce and participants just slow down at the end of the fall
  • Hoping to establish a world record, 149 people jumped together off a bridge in Hortolandia, Brazil, on Sunday
  • Photos of their attempt show them dangling from their ropes as they take the plunge from 98 feet high

More dangerous than the ones who jumped ? Comparative stupidity ?

Some people might ought to be afraid of brushing their teeth ? >

Girl, 19, died 'brushing her teeth' | Metro News

The family of a teenage girl who collapsed and died believe that brushing her teeth may have killed her. Francesca Sanna, 19, of Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, died on October 6 last year.

What is "the Woke society "? I see adrenaline junkies doing this for the pure pleasure it seems to give them. Parachuting, bungie diving, all the climbing and jumping...I want nothing to do with. That said, when my son gets back from Spain he's treating me to a ziplining outing for my birthday. ;)
 
Woke society who are people who demand everyone live by the rules they invent for themselves.. ..
That's interesting, I went ahead and Googled "woke" and received an Oxford Languages definition:

Code:
woke
/wōk/
Learn to pronounce
verb

    past of wake1.

adjectiveinformal•US
adjective: woke; comparative adjective: woker; superlative adjective: wokest

    alert to injustice in society, especially racism.
    "we need to stay angry, and stay woke"

...but I guess the meaning can vary, according to the user's thoughts and intent.

yes unfirtunately... the 'woke society'' have altered the Dictionary meaning..to mean what THEY want to have happen, whether it's write or wrong...
 
There are two versions of the word, but my version has
been ignored and thrown out!

Yesterday I woke at 4.20AM.

The other version is weird, students want to change the
names of buildings, because the benefactors who built
them had them named after themselves and they were
thought to be involved with Slavery, no proof, except for
the date and the fact that, that person had enough money
to build a large Museum, or Art Gallery, so they don't want
that name, but it is not their property to rename.

They also pull down statues, or disfigure them with paint.

Strange people, these children.

Mike.
 
People can be as stupid as they wish, doing whatever takes their fancy no matter how dangerous. What annoys me is the fact that they expect others to put their lives at risk to rescue them when their stunts go wrong.
I live near Blackpool and people are told repeatedly not to walk along the sea-front during stormy weather.....but they do and then the lifeboats have to be launched when the idiots get swept away.
 
To be young is sometimes to be reckless. I pulled some stunts myself. Lucky to have survived. As for the rest, I don’t approve of destruction of other people’s property, but I can understand the dissatisfaction felt by many of the young. Not a great world we are leaving them. I would be pssed too.
 
When you're young, you think you're indestructible. My friends and I did some pretty stupid things in the past but managed to avoid getting seriously mangled. However, we didn't try to re-write history because we didn't like it.
 
Aaah! You know this is going to be a "thing", now. If you're an 18 year old drunk tourist, you'll have to jump off the bridge. Then they'll be putting high fences up to stop 'em.
