curfew in LA to stop the peaceful protesters

 

Rioting used to be reserved for special occasions. Now we’ve got people attacking migrants, lobbing petrol bombs at police and setting cars alight in Ballymena for some reason.

 

It'll be something to do with trump

 

Alleged crimes by a Romanian family this time. Looks pretty horrific what’s happened there from the brief snippet I watched this morning. Usual story probably of people pretending to care as an excuse to kick off.

 

Perfectly understandable behaviour, according to some.

After all, "Any normal and fair-minded person would have a perfect right to be concerned if a group of Romanian people suddenly moved in next door", to quote Nigel Farage.

They also fire-bombed the house of Philipino factory-worker (who was on night shift) with his wife and children inside. Just because they're foreign.

 

People were rightly given serious sentences for their parts in the anti-asylum seeker riots. Doesn’t seem to have been much of a deterrent.

 

It's a very different situation in Northern Ireland as ever...

 

Israels having a go at the ayatollah's now

 

David Lammy has urged restraint so should be all over soon.

 

Major escalation of hostilities in the region. They've killed some pretty top level military brass as well as a load of nuclear scientists. Iran was getting veey close to developing weapons grade uranium and having some nukes built, so this attack will be setting that back for several years maybe. Israel seem to be willing to fight on multiple fronts
