I don’t know if anyone has been following this growing and serious problem in England, but it is getting worse. A new barbaricand evil form of attack has been being used to disfigure people, by throwing acid on them. It seems that as the world falls further and further away the Catholic Faith, and in the case of England, a falling away from any religion, even their sectarian brand, their problems are just getting worse. There were no “acid attacks” years ago, now they are happening every week!

ACID attacks are plaguing Britain with 15 taking place every week - and chilling figures reveal kids as young as six are carrying out assaults.
Sickeningly, one victim was just two years old when they were doused in acid while in Cumbria two girls, aged four and five, were targeted by a six and nine-year-old.
Shocking figures obtained by the Mirror reveal there were 2,602 acid attacks carried out between January 2015 and May this year.
The number - the equivalent to 15 a week - is compared to just 100 attacks logged between 2007 and 2011.
And the figure could be much higher as four police forces did not respond to requests for data.
London is the worst hit by the violent crime - with almost three quarters of all attacks taking place in the capital.
The number of cases more than doubled from less than 200 in 2014 to 431 in 2016.
Outside of the capital, areas such as the West Midlands and Essex have also seen large rises in recent years as reports soared from 340 in 2014 to 843.
Alarmingly, there has been a surge in children carrying out attacks - with two 11-year-olds charged over attacks on older teens in Hertfordshire.
In Manchester, cops dealt with a “violent offence" where a six-year-old boy had bleach used against him, while two teens aged 14 and 15 were attacked on the train network.
Gwenton Sloley, 34, a community outreach worker and former gang member from Dalston, East London, believes kids are using acid as playground weapons.
And a litre of concentrated forms of acid can be purchased for as little as £7 in a hardware shop.
Carrying a gun or a knife is a criminal offence but there is no penalty if you are caught in possession of corrosive chemicals.
And thugs using acid are usually charged with GBH, rather than wounding with intent, so often get much lower sentences.
