So it appears the hotel accepted the young man's story without seeing an actual credit card? Didn't they check the details on the CC were valid, and could therefore be charged without the card? All the hotels i have stayed in always ask for a CC upfront, before they let the room. No CC no room!

Quite right, that in itself should raise some doubts about the veracity of the owner!

America wants foreign students that are going to study, not become activists or worse, that is not why they are there. At home in their country they can do what they want!

The Dems have a plan for the future, I hear rumors AOC will be running for President in 2028!.....

Here we go again, what a waste of taxpayers dollars!!🙄

"Sir Keir Starmer is preparing to unveil a major crackdown on immigration after the local elections this week" TOO LATE.......

“BBC Arabic is intended to provide high-quality, trusted news for the hundreds of millions of people who speak Arabic. Instead, it seems that the World Service may be fomenting extremism and misleading audiences – while funded by the taxpayer and licence fees. This is simply unacceptable and must stop." Badenoch is absolutely correct on this! This is deplorable, but no real surprise! How many more times does this have to happen before the BBC quite rightly gets banned!

Correct and there lies the problem, the UK is still being governed, to some extent, by Europe!

We can only hope!!!

Sounds like the prison staff aren't trained properly and the facilities like CCTV need upgrading? They need a supermax like the US have where these terrorists should spend the rest of their lives in solitary!!

"There’s something timely about this resurgence. As people tire of ideological excess, the appeal of practical, people-focused politics grows. While woke ideology once seemed unstoppable, it now feels out of step with an era demanding realism and unity. The Supreme Court ruling may have marked the beginning of the end for a political movement that, for all its influence, ultimately lost sight of balance, inclusion, and truth. " So in other words, common sense has returned!!😆

Correct, he has a nasty habit of it!

Indeed fish head soup and rice isn't exactly gourmet food!!😊

The BBC lost all credibility a long time ago, now with their stance on Israel and their support of Hamas, its worse than CNN!

Well as he wasn't listening anyway, probably the best thing to do!

This speaks volumes sadly! Women are treated as second class, where is the 'me too' movement?????

Maybe irate, but cursing the hotel staff is not the way to behave. He should have inquired politely and things would have been sorted out, shouting and calling the hotel staff names is the sign of a uneducated moron!

Excellent news!! The taxpayers will be happy!

Certainly a few weeks, but maybe 'forever' is pushing it?

The fact that this had to be decided by the Supreme Court is very sad. Surely common sense would tell you what a woman, or a man is? If you don't know, you got problems!

Quite right, f the had studied like they said on their visa application instead of protesting and some becoming activists, like they DID NOT say on their visa application they wouldn't be in hot water!!

B.B.S....

Correct, the headline should read......'Americans Criminals fed up with Trump'.......😇
