Meanwhile, In England... Idiocy Knows No Bounds

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity News,

Mindless arson for online clout is torching farmers' livelihoods across England. Hay and straw stacks - vital winter feed and hard-earned harvest - are being deliberately set alight in a suspected TikTok challenge that treats the countryside like disposable content.

West Mercia Police have circulated an urgent warning to farming groups after a string of overnight attacks.

The force stated: "Following a recent spate of overnight arson attacks on hay stacks in the north of England there appears to be a TikTok challenge to 'set fire to as much stuff as possible.' I know the farming community will be aware of the dangers of the dry weather but if it is possible to send out a message to all your members to be extra vigilant."

"Police believe the trend, targeting hay and straw stacks across northern England, may be linked to a TikTok challenge encouraging people to set fire to things in the countryside."

Absolutely disgraceful behaviour. https://t.co/QYVHXRngnH
