Crazy experience if Khan's London walking through St James's Park today. A bloke was shouting at and trying to nick bags off tourists. One guy slapped him and he produced a knife. He then started running at people. I was walking towards him and realised I am a coward.

I ran off to the Mall and flagged down a policeman outside of St James's Palace. Told them a bloke had a knife and was attacking people. To be fair the copper wasn't a coward, cycled into the park, the maniac had a teenage kid round the neck and then six police descended on him.

2 things struck me: no one else did a ****ing thing and there has been no news coverage. I don't need to describe the attacker or his beard. ****ing scary but full credit to the police for not stopping to question his gender or my description of him.

That's not the EU's fault though, that's our own inefficiency. We also had the right to return immigrants who came under free movement rules if they weren't self-sufficient within six months. We were too inefficient to do that, too.

All those people who voted for Brexit because they don't like immigrants must be a little puzzled.

It's not inefficiency. This is the stuff the government were faced with, which made the Dublin regulations useless:

If you think how mourners were arrested on Clapham Common is equivalent to the French cops going in and cracking heads with their batons, you live on another planet

Personally I’d say it’s worse manhandling and arresting women holding a peaceful vigil but then I’m not looking for literally any negative news within the EU as a desperate argument for Brexit.

On the contrary, you're blind to any of the faults in European countries. If British police waded into crowds the way the French police do to Gilet Jaune and the like, we'd never hear the end of it from people like you.

I’m aware France and Germany, as the nations of choice whenever you need to feel less of a stupid gammon **** for supporting the Tories, are imperfect.
