Magic Roundabout

The Deviant Collective are parked up on a visible site they were on a year or two back. Went to see the Dad who has had poor fortune. During the cold winter spell, unable to keep warm, too weak to go forrage for fuel he stuffed a plastic orning in to his caravan wood burner. He nodded off. He awoke to blackness, thick noxious smoke. He managed to unclip and escape through the window. Collapsing outside, smoke poisoned he pulled the plug on the sites electric. Out his comrades came to find him near death, his home and belongings destroyed by fire. He lost everything. All letters, photos of his past. Now he is trying to rebuild, a trailer, leaky and old has been donated. Tommorrow I take him bedding, clothes, plates etc. essentials. The state refused thim a crisis loan. If this isn't a crisis I know not what is.Perhaps most distressing was something I heard regarding the fire brigade. They have a Facebook page that documents their adventures. These 'adventures' are the real lives of people. People whose lives are in ruins. Whether this trend was inspired by the NIGHTJACK blog, a copper who anonymously documented his night time work, I don't know. I do know that the practice should be looked in to. I have great admiration for the bravery of the fire brigade but can't see this as professional practice. I am sure the page and stories there are exciting but anyone whos lives are involved should be asked permission.
