Mitchell Feldman who???s been abused for owning a Tesla. Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, March 19 2025. Release date March 20 2025.

Notting Hill House Collapse Horror as Residents Flee Crumbling Buildings in Middle of the Night A major emergency unfolded in Notting Hill, west London, overnight after the roofs of several properties collapsed, prompting residents to flee for safety as their homes crumbled around them.
