Heard a story on the Jeremy Vine show today on Radio 2 about a 6 year old cerebral palsy sufferer who had his walker stolen, apparently for scrap metal :| Couldnt quite believe anyone could be so fucking idiotic, callous, (add your own word) to do such a thing :meh: Anyway, the story was still on my mind when i got home from work so i thought i'd google it.

If you click the link there's an audio clip from the local radio station in Portsmouth reporting on the case.......... and afterwards the DJ comes back on to say that they've had 2 phone calls right away of people offering to pay for a new walker for the kid :D Donations have so far reached £1010 :tup:

When i first heard the story i was a bit enraged tbh but after reading that news piece my faith in humanity has been restored......... and i had a tear in my eye :)

I hope they catch the bastard that did it and break the fucker's legs :x
