Violence

Three weeks ago, my younger brother was mugged in a common behind my house; and his mobile phone and wallet taken from him after been hit with a bottle. Thankfully, it didn't shatter, leaving him with "just" four stitches on his forehead. Nevertheless to say after the pandemonium of blood, police constables, paramedics and bank card/mobile phone cancellations; we were guests until two in the morning to the delightful NHS (Heavy sarcasm intended...).

I never felt so powerless...
