Christopher Meyer beaten to a pulp

Just another day in paradise

That anyone, regardless of their age and background, should be beaten "to a pulp" is absolutely disgraceful.

Putting more police out "on patrol to reassure the public" will achieve very little and is unlikely to prevent random attacks of this nature.

If the politicians are serious about tackling mindless and vicious behaviour like this, then the law or the sentencing guidelines need to be changed, either to discourage those minded to perpetrate it or to ensure that if they do, then they go away for a very long time and are removed from the streets. Life without parole should be considered in appropriate cases. Even the thickest of numbskulls might understand the impact of this, although there will always be some who won't be discouraged just as murders continued in the days when Albert Pierrepoint was usefully employed in prisons. Political rhetoric doesn't cut the ice.


I understand all the arguments about those in prison without hope of release becoming even more dangerous with nothing to lose and that there would not be enough prisons. So be it. A price worth paying. Build some more and generate jobs.

It needs high profile people to suffer before the Establishment changes tack and acts.

I hate to say it but Trump is right about the threat to yanks in landan

moisok is completely confused.  He thinks a UK ambassador to the US is an american.

I think he is still confused.

Can't believe this happened at Victoria. Never known a problem there.

Khan meanwhile wants a balloon of a man in a nappy hoisted over landan

says it all really

Trump deserves the same privilege as other presidents and world leaders, he should be allowed to come in and not have to worry about his life being in danger, its a disgrace they are resorting to this level imo

I don't like the bloke either but he should be treated well on his visit

50 percent aren't opposed to his visit  interesting isn't it

with all the pots banging away I thought the whole country opposed

apparently not the case

Khan balloon has raised 40k in 5 days!

shame they couldn't have opposed the real despots who have visited here since 2020

Mugging a 74 year old man is disgraceful. The culprits should be severely punished. 15yo girl and 16yo boy arrested.

released if you believe the news??!!

Doubtless won't be named "for legal reasons" if charged.

Just over 100 years ago, 15 and 16 year olds were enlisting for the trenches.

God help us. What a world.

well said moisok

....There was no trouble in Russia during the world cup.


Time to get those cops on the streets of london...

Old Vlad gets a bad press but he has run a very good WC competition,no riots and fighting of any note.

When the people of a country are normal and fairly civilised you don’t need a dictator to keep them in line

Perhaps we could model ourselves on Japan or some other beautiful country , too difficult ?

WTF sort of ridiculous comment is that?????
Even by your standards lfc it's a mad thing to write.

What on earth are you on about now study ?

Beat me to it treetop. Shame but true.

The Russia people might be a particularly savage people and that is why they need a brutal dictator to keep them in line , I don’t know
Well it’s been that way for the past 100 years at least

Japan does not have lots of different cultures that it has to try to integrate.

There’s no doubt IT it depends on the people , no matter where they come from , it’s not something to be admired imo
I do admire Japan , maybe there’s a lesson there for us all

You see America gave Japan democracy , not brutal dictatorship
And to there great credit it seems to suit them , they deserve great credit for that

no idea what even studyform could find fault with there

He might try to , possibly bigmo as well , they’re like that

Japan !!!!!! Don't think they let any non Japanese into the country until the 1800s and have only started having immigrants in the last 30 years or so........hardly diverse

Not a lot of crime in the Falklands SF, maybe truth in what lfc says.

The Russians don`t have a dictator, they have an elected President.

we've all got to watch our backs now, at any age. scum bags are out there trying to rob us for what we have and are willing to beat us up to get it. watch your backs people, don't trust anyone, and learn Kung fu

themightymac probably thinks Stalin wasn’t a dictator just because they voted in soviet Russia
oh well , that’s what you are up against .

Japan hasn't got a problem with immigration diversity or political correctness.

Simply because they don't let in immigrants and they're naturally polite.

Imagine the heaven on earth this country would be if we'd gone down the same route as Japan.

My brother worked there for over 25 years, I don't think dual nationality was ever a possibility. You go there to work and pay taxes-no handouts if you don't earn enough to live- and unless you marry a Japanese lady, you go home.

No-one should be surprised as to how and why Japan has mostly avoided the nightmare of Islamic Terror. And rightly so.

Is it a coincidence that the countries with the least amount of a well-known Peaceful Religion inside their borders manage to avoid the Jihadist cancer?

Japan knows

Australia hasn't got the same problems that we have either.
They've also put a block on immigration.

What is about Europeans that we always choose the disastrous route to go down?

Japan definitely isn't the best country for asylum seekers. They are polite but don't gift nationalities.

Also, they are a hardworking nation, unlike most in Europe where the natives simply don't want to do the dirty work and are happy letting other nationalities take the jobs(but whine about the consequences).

The Europeans are certainly a very lazy bunch , especially the Germans

And the Dutch are as bad ,they can’t wait to down tools at 5:00 to go running back home , impossible to get them to work Saturday orSunday
