There are some generally shady people walking around at the moment. I just had to look out my flat window to get some air and a bloke who was walking around these flats lording it up, took a photo of me looking out my window. Who does that???? Society is weird now and there are so many shady people about
Yes CM many deranged walking our streets, illegal`s, wanna be gangsters with no futures and those with mental health who should be getting care but are not.
