Re: Stabbing Attack in Sydney
That useless London mayor polled 275,828 more votes than his nearest rivial and secured a 3rd term in office, must be doing something right?
London!! only good thing about the place is the road /train out of it. To be fair I do not like cities never have and never will.

Re: Stabbing Attack in Sydney
Des, he did the correct thing in this case.
But at the shopping center near us where there was a guy with a knife on Friday.
He was brought down and taken away,
Saturday in the same center a gut with a Machete waiving about.
Two guys from the hairdressers took him down.
WE use that center on Wednesdays for our weekly shop, watch this space>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Re: Stabbing Attack in Sydney
Agree with you 100%. Makes me very angry. All too often these so called " experts" who can't tell sh*t from cr*p, have by their "wise" decisions allowed (nay permitted) the deaths of innocents. They along with psychiatrists who wrongly diagnose killers to be let out, parole board members who let nutters out to kill, and soft touch judges who fall for the "born again Christian, wouldn't hurt a fly, he was such a good boy, would help old ladies cross a street' bollox, should do time for their collective stupidity. And I'm deadly serious. Thinking about all this has raised my blood pressure so I'm off for a lay down now.

Re: Stabbing Attack in Sydney
Of course you're right. But the problem starts with politicians who think it's a good idea to let "migrants" come into their countries. who have grown up with death, bombings, rapes, female mutilations, etc.etc.(we're not allowed to call 'em invaders).
Do idiots like Blair in UK, Biden in the US, Trudeau in Canada, Andrews in Melbourne etc., think by letting in hordes of religious fanatics they are going to change their spots? The reverse is true. They increase crime/murder rates where ever they settle. I honestly can't think of any area of my life that's been improved by those political decisions. They come from sh*tholes where they were unhappy - and now are unhappy in the countries that gave them sanctuary - and are determined to make the host counties carbon copies of where they supposedly fled from. Go figure. How often have I read about Somali's who "fled home in fear of their llives" then (once they've copped enough dole money) go back to visit their relatives in Mogadishu. Feel free to disagree but go check out Bradfield/Rocdale/Luton etc in UK. Dearborn, Michigan in the US. Then pass on your opinions.
PS And go take a look at how Sudanese have "improved" Melbourne. Weren't they the ones who "invented" gang-house invasions Mr Andrews? Remember pre-Andrews days when Melbourne was regularly listed as the best place in the world to live? Gone down the listings now after the invasion. A typical way of showing gratitude.

Re: Stabbing Attack in Sydney
There in lies many of todays problems.
We are a bit better here in Oz as we have border control so no boats get in and id they do the people on them are taken to an offshore island.
To gain entrance now as a migrant here you must either ave a position to come to and an employer who will vouch for you, or if not then you must be sponsored by a family member.
It does not solve all the problems, we still have some violence but nothing compared to Uk and others.

Re: Stabbing Attack in Sydney
While not perfect the UK is still a safe place to live. Off course Australia will not have the amoiunt of violence as the UK. Population UK 67 million, Australia 26 million. UK media talks crime up , always a good story line. Must be all those UK news sources owned by foreign nationals, Scumbags like Murdoch for one.

Re: Stabbing Attack in Sydney
Correct James, many parts of UK are fine, it is mainly the major cities that create the problem.
With the police here being armed we do find it a bit easier to deal with some of the scum bags, the practice is to shoot then take them to the morgue to interview.

It's not about Khan doing something right. It's all about politicians doing something wrong - importing Khan's like-minded death cult mates was the start. Once here they breed like fleas. Who are they gonna vote for !! Look at Bradford, Birmingham, Sheffield, Luton etc. etc. We're witnessing the changes daily. Trump's new running mate, Vance, has been criticized for saying that England would be the first moslem country to have nukes. He obviously forgot about p*kistan. Lefty Angela Rayner has got in a froth about his comment, but seriously, what did he say that was wrong? Until the poor "grateful immigrants" took over we used to have among the best healthcare in the world, we had good roads, we had freedom of speech. The idiots at the top say the NHS would collapse without foreign healthcare workers. That's putting the cart before the horse. Truth is, if we didn't have so many invaders we wouldn't need the volume of foreign doctors and nurses. Our roads are 3rd world to make the newcomers feel at home. Free speech gone. Look around you, wake up and smell the coffee - it's too late

Re: Stabbing Attack in Sydney
The same should be done to the perps - with the following proviso. They should be beheaded using a rusty blade which should first be dipped in bacon fat. Do unto others what they want to do to you, but do it first.
