There have been numerous reports of people deliberately licking products and surfaces in supermarkets and filimg it. These “licking videos” are then often posted on social media sites like TikTok, Snapchat or YouTube for all to see. Deliberately licking and coughing on things in this way, during a pandemic, spreads fear and disgust, along with the health risks. This is what’s known as “consumer terrorism” where dangerous substances are introduced to food or other consumer products, that put people’s health at risk. Some people are now weaponising their own bodies in frustration.

Stalking is a specific form of criminal offence and a recognised social problem. According to the Crime Survey for England & Wales, approximately 20% of females and 10% of males receive unwanted stalking behaviours over their lifetime, and this figure continues to increase annually. The role of the workplace in stalking cases is crucial - many stalkers find their victims through workplaces and are able to elicit information about their victims from the very place that has a duty of care to protect their privacy and safety. The routine and predictability of workplaces unwittingly assists stalkers in accessing their victims. Many stalkers also show up at their victims workplaces, often with fatal consequences, and knowing how to deal with stalkers is a safety issue.
On June 2nd, 2010, 52-year-old Derrick Bird, an ordinary and down to earth self-employed taxi driver from Rowrah in Cumbria, in the North of England, had started a shooting spree earlier that day. He went on to kill 12 people, and injure 11 others in the space of two hours, before killing himself. This tragedy could not have been prevented, but Bird was not the quiet and pleasant man that many neighbours and friends thought he was. Bird had a history of suffering at the hands of others and never getting the justice he truly deserved.
The size of the work-related stress epidemic has shown no signs of slowing down over the last decade. It continues to grow and has never yet showed any sign of reversing since the mid 1990s when it seemed to begin. I think there is a very obvious source of workplace stress that has been overlooked and under-researched.Email.That everyday simple tool we rely on to do our jobs. It's not a coincidence that the workplace stress epidemic started to take hold in the mid 1990s - just when everyone started to get to grips with the internet and emails. It's such an obvious smoking gun. How has it been overlooked all this time?I'll explain what the problems are for some people with emails, and ask you to undertake a self-assessment of your own relationship with email.
