A homeless man who frantically pulled nails and glass from injured people's eyes during the aftermath of the Manchester bombing has been awarded a place to live for his bravery.

Stephen Jones, 35, described watching mothers weeping over the "lifeless" bodies of their children as he raced through the crowds in Manchester and carried victims to safety.

"I… realised what was happening and saw children coming out, screaming and covered in blood," 35-year-old Stephen Jones told ITV after helping to save the lives of wounded kids.

"It was a lot of children with blood all over them, crying and screaming."

West Ham United FC co-chairman David Sullivan and his son awarded Stephen Jones with free rent for six months for his bravery.

"Me and dad want to rent the homeless man in Manchester a house for six months to help him get on his feet.

Please tag anyone who can help us," David Sullivan Jr wrote in Twitter while trying to find the homeless hero. »

The FCC has just published the notice of proposed rulemaking that would roll back the 2015 Open Internet Order establishing net neutrality.

Perhaps it would surprise you, then, to hear that the FCC has the exact opposite idea of how the internet works!
