    It’s probably more a mix of desperation (likely caused by economic/labor woes) and a desire for fame.

        The U.K. isn’t prosperous though; not any more. It’s a country where lots of wealthy people live, but in terms of median income and bottom percentiles it’s very poor.

          I think that’s their point. That this is a time of prosperity, asterisk, for the few.

        No arguments with you my friend. People are feeling bad despite traditional indicators saying otherwise, which may have been a factor in the piece of trash’s decision to do what they did. Hopelessness and seeking fame is a bad combo
