Last person living on ‘Britain’s loneliest street’ refuses to leave council flat
A retired bank worker is embroiled in a stand-off with his local council over his refusal to leave his flat on “Britain’s loneliest street”. Nick Wisniewski, 66, is the last person living in Stanhope Place after hundreds of neighbours moved out of their homes in December ahead of scheduled demolition work. Eight blocks of flats and other homes on the street in Wishaw, North Lanarkshire, are set to be knocked down as part of plans to redevelop the area. But Mr Wisniewski refuses to leave - despite the council’s attempts to buy him out. He claims officials have offered him £35,000 plus two years’ rent somewhere else if he moves. He said the area used to be packed with 200 people. But it now lies abandoned and overgrown with empty properties boarded up. Mr Wisniewski claims North Lanarkshire Council’s offer would not be enough to buy somewhere else.

Twitch star xQc moves house after almost daily swatting incidents
Multiple swatting incidents from last year have forced Twitch ’s xQc to temporarily move back to Canada. It’s only temporary but Twitch streamer Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has moved back to his home country of Canada. He hasn’t said how long he intends to stick around, only tweeting ‘Back in Canada for a little while.’ His fans, however, believe it’s for far more serious reasons than simply being in between moving houses and is n fact because he’s been doxxed. While he may be one of the most popular and highest earning streamers on Twitch , not everyone is a fan of xQc. He drew a lot of ire for his actions while taking part in Grand Theft Auto 5 roleplays , for example. Doxxing (the leaking of private information such as home addresses) has resulted in ‘ swatting ’ incidents where police get sent to peoples’ houses under false pretences. In the past, this has led to the victims getting seriously injured and even killed . While xQc has been fortunate enough to … [Read more...] about Twitch star xQc moves house after almost daily swatting incidents
