House explosion in Middlesbrough

By all accounts the guy in the house did this on purpose. He is suffering with severe mental health problems at the moment and was due to be evicted.

Really sad story all round and also for the neighbours
Heard the same.
 
Looking at the rubble on the road, it is a miracle nobody was hurt outside. Kids playing on the green could have been caught up in that debris flying out.

Sounds like its been lucky no one else been hurt. Hopefully the guy in hospital makes a full recovery, physically and mentally if the stories are true.
 
My cousin on the green got home, and started chatting to the neighbours. She did not know the guy in question but the word of the neighbours was that he had been threatening to do exactly this for a while.
 
I bet next door are a bit miffed.
Why, do they live next door to you on the other side?


Trying to make a joke out of an unfolding tragedy where someone has been seriously injured and we have no idea what recovery they’ll make is beyond low.
 
I was the postie around there for a few years and delivered his mail, he was a very troubled bloke and had run ins with a couple of my work colleagues. Knowing his reputation I always put on my friendliest face if he was ever in his garden when I had mail for him and he was generally okay with me. His neighbours couldn't stand him though, they'd had years of trouble with him and they had no time for him at all.
 
Ha!
Thats the waste of skin who was manning his own little roadblock where only white english were allowed through.
He should get the most severe punishment. He is already subject to a suspended sentence so he can expect that to be added.
Is it?

The checkpoint roadblock article says

"Megan Davison's boyfriend, Jake Wray, also pleaded guilty to violent disorder in the Middlesbrough riots. The 23-year-old set up a "checkpoint" and asked drivers if they were "white" or "English." Wray, who lives with Megan Davison on Seaton Street, was captured on video allowing white or "English" drivers to pass. He was under a suspended sentence when he committed his new offence. He will be sentenced on October 14."
