Whilst I agree that People of Colour get less media attention than Caucasian middle class pretty women. I think the weird circumstances of GL are what is drawing the attention.

I hope Julian is found safe and well soon

I really hope this guy is found safe and well, but my heart sinks when someone disappears after a night out and the last sightings are near water

He looks cold in the CCTV picture, has he got his shirt cuffs over his hands? It was about 9C at that time, and rather windy at 26mph.

Likewise.

That struck me too. If he had been out at a club or pub he might have been hot, but anyone in the early hours of a December morning will feel cold. Where is his jacket or coat?

How terribly sad, the poor man, though after missing this long and in such circumstances, the outcome was the only likely one.

 

[LemonMint]

I’m so very sorry to hear the news

My thoughts are with Julian’s close ones. Rest in peace, Julian.

I fully agree !!!

A human life is equal to me at least - despite of the sex, age, underlying health conditions, ethnicity, gender indentity etc.

It all makes me rage here at home at times…
