I guess BBC USA has news tailored to where you are from. It's the same when I'm in BKK, I get Asia news.

I noticed the masks after looking at her bikini top. Pointless wearing masks on a beach anyway.

I've seen people walking down empty streets near my house (empty enough they may pass someone every 3-5 minutes). Some people are sheep who don't think.

I am speculating, there is a substantial christian minority in Sudan which is subject to discrimination. Did he come from them ?

Good point. However, his name is Badreddin Abadlla Adam, so would assume Muslim.

Er...Sudan is 97% Islamic and 1.5% Christian. Hardly substantial.

It's very interesting that this story is nowhere to be found on the homepage, it's buried away in Scottish news. The only thing that seems to interest BBC editors is a surge in C19 cases in the US Sunbelt.

 

I guess who cares about your own citizens getting stabbed in broad daylight and a policeman being critically injured when you can whine on about something in the US!

 

I'm a full fledged Anglophile, grew up as a kid listening to the BBC World Service on shortwave in my bedroom. Saddens me to see what has become of something once wonderful, that probably helped make me the man I became

As you have acknowledged BBC is worldwide news coverage. I checked your claim. When I typed in BBC via Google then clicked UK, Glasgow and Reading stabbings are currently covered,

You couldn't make it up.  The law tacitly encouraging lawlessness with their ingrained left wing bias and now getting regular beatings on the streets of London because they're too liberal and weak-kneed to react to the threat.  The police now run away from protesters rather than confront them.  

 

I've been watching the videos this week and, quite frankly, I'm embarrassed by our police force.  

The law has a left wing bias and the police is too liberal.

 

Only the far, far right can come with something like this.

maybe he's using American political ideology tags? i.e. 'liberal' equals left wing.

My post was a generalised statement in reply to an extreme and generalised statement. 'The law has a left wing bias and police is liberal' is so far off, beyond comprehension.

Ideology and politics are becoming far right and far left, no middle ground these days. This forum is no different to comments on UK online papers, the silent majority don't really care. 2020 is shaping up to be a battleground and entrenched positions, old ideas vs new ideas.

We will see in the next round of national elections in Western countries.  So long as their efforts for opposition voter suppression are not successful, IMO left / right political extremists are gradually on the way out, the majority of people are over their divisiveness and negativity.

Political extremists in both movements are relatively small and IMO don't have a platform sufficient to effect national elections. Of course you don't mention right wing extremist groups - lol - better stop here as going off topic.

"Home Office facing legal challenge over asylum support rates during lockdown as current conditions create ‘support gap’ for people surviving on £37 a week"

Four asylum seekers have together threatened the Home Office with a legal challenge over support rates during the lockdown, with their lawyers arguing that failure to increase their support during this time constitutes a breach of human rights law.

Maybe because it happened in UK/Scotland ? The BBC isn't quite your Arizona Daily Sun after all.

You are right, the situation is disgraceful, but unrelated to asylum seekers. Your pension is a national disgrace because successive tory and Labour governments have chosen to fleece you dry. You can get rid of every single refugee tomorrow and it will not make a jot of difference to your pension.

Three meals a day at set times?  I should seek asylum in my own country.  

 

If I'm feeling peckish between breakfast and lunch then a bag of crisps and a KitKat usually does the trick.  Never felt the need for a bloody knife rampage, personally.

The assailant who died was a Somali from Sudan who had spent a long time in custody and who had just been told he was to be deported.

Not all refugees are in the same boat so to speak.

 

"Fellow hotel guests said they had passed on their concerns about the suspect after he began behaving erratically. It is believed that his application for voluntary return had been stalled by the coronavirus pandemic."

So maybe he didn't want to stay here, having three meals a day in free accommodation after all.

Probably got it from their little book they're so fond of. No need for increased IS propaganda.

Ironically, I just saw a video of a demonstration and march in Glasgow held a few days ago, with the Scots protesters chanting, "refugees are welcome here!"

 

Leader Sturgeon welcomes all refugees, illegal included. She's a sort of cross between Mutti Merkel and Botox Pelosi - but not so attractive!

I think we saw that in the last UK election. Labour's manifesto was very long winded and very left; their leader was perceived very left; most of his shadow cabinet picks very left.

 

They got a resounding defeat - include loosing many staunch traditional Labour areas / voters. 

 

They've tried to brush it off by pretending it was just about Brexit, but it was far far from that.
