    If these people are now arriving passengers then they won't need free accommodation, a full health care package, free meals, clothes, phones & spending money. Will they?

    It's perfectly rational. The Labour Party need to establish you're a supporter, then you can have multiple votes to elect them

    Wow, Daily Mail front page straight from the Meloni playbook, blaming the £ collapse on ‘financial speculators’.

    Mind you, the Mail does have form in this regard.

    I don't think so. It's London, and I thought I saw Palestinian flags. It was the Iranians bashing coppers over the weekend

    I'm feeling quite nostalgic for the soccer yobs of the 70s.

    Bit context free though isn’t it?

    I think this is the protests against the Iranian government, by exiled Iranians, which started at the embassy in Knightsbridge and were also around the Islamic Centre of England in Maida Vale. There had been peaceful protests for a number of days, sparked by the death/murder by Iranian ‘moral’ police of Marsha Amini and explicitly anti the Iranian medieval theocracy. It seems that the protests were infiltrated, by who and on what side I don’t know, and the violence kicked in. Of course it’s disgraceful that police were hurt (5 of them apparently), but we might have witnessed the beginning of a revolution, given what is going on in Iran itself.

    Not that Invicta Regina, whoever he/she is will care, they’re ****ing foreigners ain’t they?

    It probably is Iranians, and I don't know whether the bloke being beaten up by the crowd was pro the Iranian Islamic Republic, or westernised. I find it distasteful when so many pick on one nonetheless. The police looked to be doing a heroic job in these circumstances. Crowds like that, particularly made up of those that may have a Third World approach to meting out punishment, frighten the hell out of me.

    Yeah but if you don’t buy the richest bloke a meal he’ll emigrate or something.
