9 hours ago, Social Media said:In central London, tensions escalated as thousands of Tommy Robinson supporters marched in what was branded the "Uniting the Kingdom" protest, facing off against a large gathering of anti-fascist counter-protesters. The Metropolitan Police, alongside British Transport Police and other forces, implemented significant security measures, including barricading Parliament Square’s statue of Winston Churchill, as well as the Cenotaph on Whitehall, to prevent damage.
Officers also created a “sterile zone” along Whitehall to separate both camps, hoping to limit direct confrontation.
Robinson, a far-right activist known legally as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, had organized the rally to rally supporters. The gathering moved from Victoria Station toward Whitehall, where pro-Robinson demonstrators waved Union Flags and banners, some of which displayed inflammatory slogans. Robinson supporters chanted, “Oh Tommy, Tommy,” “We want Starmer out,” and provocative phrases, while others held signs referencing controversial topics like migration and cultural grievances.
Demonstrators displayed a massive banner reading “The Rape of Britain” alongside images of political figures including London Mayor Sadiq Khan, former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer. Other banners demanded the return of deportation policies and criticized asylum programs, while some attendees wore badges commemorating Peter Lynch, a man who died in custody after being jailed for verbally assaulting police officers.
Yet, Robinson himself did not attend the march, as he was held in custody following his refusal to provide a phone access code under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000. Robinson’s absence fueled frustrations among some demonstrators, with supporters calling for his release. The activist is also due in court for an ongoing case regarding alleged breaches of a High Court order that prevents him from repeating libellous claims against a Syrian refugee.
Nearby, tens of thousands rallied in a counter-protest organized by Stand Up To Racism, which had called for a massive anti-fascist turnout. Anti-racist demonstrators gathered near Piccadilly Circus and filled the northern end of Whitehall, many holding placards with slogans like “Stop the Far Right” and “No to Islamophobia.” Trade unions, community groups, and activists brought banners from the National Education Union (NEU), RMT, and Fire Brigades Union, with Palestinian flags also present in the crowd. Daniel Kebede, general secretary of the NEU, addressed the crowd, saying, “I was a teacher.
When I lined children up for dinner – black, white, Jewish, Muslim – do you know what they did? Hold hands. Our children show us the type of future we all want to see. Let’s stand up to the racists, and build a society fit for all our children.”
Arrests were made at both demonstrations. Police apprehended two individuals from Robinson's march for public order offences, including a racially aggravated incident. Among the counter-protesters, one woman was initially detained for assault but later released after providing her information, and another arrest occurred when an officer was assaulted at The Mall. Additional arrests followed, including one for a racist comment directed at a police officer.
Stand Up To Racism estimated that Robinson’s march attracted around 25,000 attendees, while 20,000 joined the counter-protest. This rally and counter-protest follow a July demonstration by Robinson supporters, which also attracted tens of thousands, with reports of Islamophobic chants. Robinson has a long history with far-right movements, having formerly been a member of the British National Party and founding the English Defence League.

The peaceful protest I watched was not the one reported and described by the biased Telegraph.. The so called Left rabble were the ones that were the ones causing the trouble.

Yes. Times are hard. I sent the missus out on the game last week and she came back with Baht 510. I said "What tight bugger gave you Baht10?" She said "All of them."😉

Maybe he should have considered an official written permission. Then he could have refused bribery demands.
It seems to me often restaurant and bar owners have choices like do you allow smoking indoors? If yes, pay x amount and the police won't complain. Do you want to open longer, pay extra.
Or: Play by the rules and get inspected and look if they can find something illegal.
Obviously, corruption is widespread, but it seems to me many people are willing to pay for the authorities not to enforce the laws.
Until they don't, and abide by the rules, nothing will change.

So why did she order spicy in the first place?
If I order s[icy food I just have a small taste first. If it is too spicy for me then i will say so and leave the food. When comes the time to pay the bill, I would pay it in full and explain to the wait staff, that it was my problem for ordering it in the first place.
That is the blessing or the curse, of being born with common sense.
Right. Only idiots would take a big gob full if they had never tasted dragon's balls before. Maybe she was sexually excited? As Rita Hayworth sang, "There is a fire down below. Down below in my ........😉😄

You asked: "I wonder if US citizens are embarrassed at the way some of those seeking high office continually stoop to juvenile name calling?"
My response was: "As an American, I am much more embarrassed at our press and how many people are duped by it."
How does this not answer your question? I have to be embarrassed about the one, to be more embarrassed about the other, yes? Just take is as a yes.
You also asked "Are these the sort of people they want to represent their country?
My response was:
"As a classical liberal, I am tired of the left lying and dividing our county, and I am tired of being called names for the last fifteen years by Obama, Clinton, Biden, the leftist press that supports them, and their supporters, so pardon me if my panties do not get in a ruffle when some of it gets turned back on them. Eff the left.
I do not want the leftist policies that a Harris-Walz Administration will push though, so I will vote against it.
I would vote for Bernie Sanders first. In fact, put every social security number over 35 years old in a lottery, and I would take my chances voting for that number before I would vote for Harris."
Does that in any way give you the idea that I am happy with the sort of people I have to choose from to represent my country? Just take is as a no.
So yes, to your first question, and no to the second.
Thank you. Your feelings on those charged with running my country, the UK, are very similar. The difference is that our politicians don't throw childish insults around at those they do not agree with, although those they are supposed to represent do. And quite rightly deserved in some cases.

Then Harris should be prosecuted for promising people money to get votes?
At least Elon is spending his own money.
But she hasn't given it upfront. That would be classed as buying your way into power. All politicians promise the world to voters. But when they are in power. Hard brown stuff!

As an observer, I wonder if US citizens are embarrassed at the way some of those seeking high office continually stoop to juvenile name calling? Something that most adults left behind in their preteen years. Are these the sort of people they want to represent their country? All very sad. But then perhaps it is the norm in this crazy mixed up so-called civilised age.

8 hours ago, Social Media said:In 2019, Charlotte Holmes of Wichita, Kansas, found herself at the center of a life-altering event when a routine checkup with her cardiologist took a sudden turn. Her blood pressure skyrocketed, leading doctors to suspect she was either having a stroke or an impending heart attack. Rushed to the hospital, Charlotte was quickly placed on an intravenous drip. But soon after, her heart stopped. For 11 minutes, she was clinically dead.
During those moments, Charlotte says she experienced both heaven and hell in vivid detail. Recalling her story on the Christian TV show *The 700 Club*, Charlotte's husband Danny remembered the eerie atmosphere in the hospital room. “I looked around, and I knew there were no flowers in that room,” he said. “That’s when I knew she was not in this world.”
As for Charlotte, who was 68 at the time, she recounted the beginning of her experience: “I could see Danny standing in the corner... I could see all the nurses around." But then, her vision shifted. "I opened my eyes, I looked around at the beauty. I could see the trees, I could see the grass. And everything was swaying with the music, because everything in heaven worships God.”
Charlotte described heaven as indescribably beautiful, noting that its magnificence is beyond human comprehension. “It’s so above what we can even imagine – [by] a million times, a million times,” she said, emphasizing that earthly words fall short in conveying what she saw.
Led by angels, she recalled feeling “pure joy” and an absence of fear as she entered heaven. There, she was reunited with deceased family members, including her mother, father, and sister, who appeared healthy and vibrant. “They didn’t look old, they didn’t look sick, none of them wore glasses,” Charlotte said. “They looked like they were in their 30s... They looked wonderful.”
Among the most profound moments was her encounter with a bright light, which she instinctively knew to be God. Standing alongside Him was a toddler, whom Charlotte identified as her son, lost during pregnancy. “I lost that child,” she shared. “I was five-and-a-half months pregnant. I can remember them holding the baby up and saying, ‘Charlotte, it's a boy.’ Then he was gone.” Seeing the toddler before her, Charlotte was overwhelmed. “I said, ‘God, how is that possible?’ [And] He says, ‘They continue to grow in heaven.’”
But her experience was not limited to the joys of heaven. God chose to show her a glimpse of hell. “I looked down, and the smell, and then rotten flesh – that’s what it smelled like – and then screams,” Charlotte recalled. The stark contrast between the beauty of heaven and the horrors of hell was overwhelming. “After seeing the beauty of heaven, the contrast to seeing hell is almost unbearable,” she said.
Charlotte remembered God’s words as she witnessed hell: “He says, ‘I show you this to tell you, if some of them do not change their ways, this is where they shall reside.’” The imagery and warnings left a deep impact on her.
Soon after, Charlotte heard her father’s voice, telling her to return to the living world and share her experience. At that moment, she felt herself being drawn back into her body and awoke in her hospital bed. She made a full recovery and was released from the hospital two weeks later.
Since then, Charlotte has dedicated herself to sharing her story, believing that it carries a powerful message. “People need hope,” she said. “They want to know that there really is something out there, they want to know that everything's OK.”
Her belief in heaven is unwavering. “Heaven is more than you can imagine,” Charlotte stated. “I’m so grateful I can look you square in the eye and tell you for sure, heaven is real.”

Agree. But don't rely on getting a Reminder from Immigration to reapply. After years of doing it online. Not checking the expiry date as I usually do, I went seven days over. My fault and it cost me Bt2000.
Are reminders still being sent?

Angela Rayner, the deputy Prime minister, said in Parliament yesterday ' MPs can do whatever they like in their own time and with their own money." But why is she more or less condoning political interference in another country's internal elections? It's certainly a good way to sour our relationship with the USA. As a Brit, I think the British government would certainly object if the boot was on the other foot.
