Community Comes Together to Repair Liverpool Library After Arson Attack | This Morning

[@skevimavride9584]

Community ALWAYS wins, well done . I live abroad in a village and the community always wins when coming together ❤

Yeah, but can there be a way to once and for all prevent such horrible things from happening again? The community does a lot to get things back to normal, but what if outrageous attacks like that happen again next year? The law and law enforcement need to perform their roles, so a completely neutral place such as a library that benefits everyone, especially students and children can be protected

EDL are trying to educate themselves and hit the library hard 📚 👏 unfortunately, they didn't know how to read, and in an ADHD/SEN rage, they set the books on fire 🔥 😔 Here is an article I've written. "Two Brothers, One Library: The Great EDL Book-Burning Bungle" In what can only be described as a "turning over a new leaf gone hilariously wrong," two brothers affiliated with the English Defence League (EDL) decided to take their fight against intellectualism straight to the source: a local library. The duo with a combined reading age of 5 years old, armed with a can-do attitude and a profound misunderstanding of what libraries actually do, set out to reclaim their neighborhood from the "dangerous knowledge" stored within its hallowed halls of Liverpool Library. Unfortunately for them and hilariously for us, they were in for a literary experience they wouldn’t soon forget. The plan, if one can call it that, was simple: storm the library, gather up the most dangerous-looking books, and give them the old-fashioned bonfire treatment. Now, one might expect them to target the usual suspects-volumes on multiculturalism, human rights, or heaven forbid, geography beyond the British Isles. But these two had a slightly different agenda. According to eyewitnesses, the brothers burst into the library like two members of the village football club, fresh off a losing streak. They began tearing books off the shelves with the enthusiasm of someone who’s just discovered that not everything on paper involves football results or the latest news about the royal family. It wasn’t long before they realized that the real enemy was not some hidden political manifesto, but rather something far more sinister: the Dewey Decimal System. Panic set in as they encountered books with words they couldn’t pronounce, let alone comprehend. The brothers, who we'll call "Tommy" and "Bobby" (not their real names, but somehow it just fits), quickly found themselves overwhelmed. Titles like "Quantum Physics for Beginners" and "Understanding Intersectionality" sent them into a tailspin. "These books are full of big words and foreign ideas!" Bobby reportedly exclaimed, eyes wide with horror. Tommy, the more "philosophical" of the two, grabbed a copy of "Pride and Prejudice" and flipped through it furiously. "I don’t see any pride in being English in here!" he said, clearly affronted by the lack of patriotic content. He tossed it into a growing pile of “dangerous” literature. It was around this time that things took a turn for the chaotic. Having gathered an eclectic mix of novels, dictionaries, and-rather mysteriously-a cookbook on vegan cuisine, the brothers decided it was time to "send a message." With all the grace of two pyromaniacs who failed fire safety in school, they set the pile ablaze, right in the middle of the library. What they didn’t anticipate was the fire alarm system-one that had clearly been better maintained than the average EDL Facebook page. The sprinklers kicked in almost immediately, dousing both the flames and the brothers’ spirits. Within minutes, the local fire brigade arrived, followed closely by the police. When questioned by authorities, Tommy tried to explain that they were “liberating” the community from the perils of knowledge. Bobby, not quite as quick on his feet, simply mumbled something about “books being too hard.” Their plot, which started with grand ambitions, ended with soggy paperbacks and two very wet, very disappointed brothers sitting in the back of a police van. Local residents, once the initial shock had worn off, found the whole thing rather amusing. “It’s like they thought the library was some sort of secret base for the Illuminati,” one amused bystander commented. “You’ve got to give them credit for trying, though. I just didn’t think I’d ever see someone actually try to fight books.” The library, now re-opened, is considering adding a new section dedicated to this misadventure. Working titles include “How Not to Read,” “The Fire Starter’s Guide to Failure,” and, perhaps most fittingly, “Brothers Grimm: A True Story.” As for Tommy and Bobby? Well, they’re out on bail, presumably licking their wounds and plotting their next scheme, though this time, it’s rumoured they might be targeting something simpler. Like a colouring book. They are doing jail time so they can learn to read in the prison library 📚 📚 😀

Well this is awkward. Clare and Brendan had a bit of a falling out it seems. She only wanted to give him £3000 to replace his car (allegedly) and the rest to go to other charities and Brendan (allegedly) wanted ALL of the money that was raised for him (over £60,000) and demanded a brand new Mercedes Benz SUV, his student debt paid off and a years rent for a new apartment and wasnt willing to give any money at all to other people affected. They seem to have fell out over this and the ENTIRE CROWDFUND WAS CANCELLED AND REFUNDED. That workplace is going to be a little tense from now on 😂😂😂

This 200,000 pounds could be used for better purposes if the law and police were able to protect an innocent community library.
