I thought you meant she'd gone back to try and get the guy out. Not that they'd gone to the hotel, well according to that leftie rag the Mail anyway.
Channay Augustus, 22, is accused of being part of a group of around 20 people who tried to barge into the Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf, east London, on Wednesday evening.

Can't even carry round a meat cleaver or attack emergency workers without getting arrested these days. Country's well and truly gone.

Dom a little bit quieter now the full story has come out. Pretty sure a loud minority think she had every right to go and attack the man with a meat cleaver

See, I can get if she went back to fuck up the person who had been in her house or if she had done it while they were in the house.

Don't carry weed while you do it and assault police officers though it's not the emergency workers fault is it?

Clearly you do. Why bother posting taking the piss and mocking LBTQ+ ? It's a community full of creativity, pride and positivity. It provides a real support for people who perhaps don't feel they fit in with 'modern social norms' and who lack confidence. This community should get all our support and no ridicule - it just makes footy fans sound backward and full of hate and intolerance.
Like in all communities/groups there are some extreme bellends who rant and rave on social media... I'm not defending them.

Why is politics full stop full of freaks? Normal people don’t (or didn’t before Twitter) spend their time volunteering for this stuff cos they’ve got a life. See also women attacking emergency service workers with cannabis in their pocket not being the median anti immigration voter.

Absolute horse shit. Pride today is nothing like it was intended for. It was always colourful, but about being together and solidarity. In fact not a single gay person I know locally went on that march. I've had discussions with them where they feel the movement has also taken a completely different direction and one that makes a lot of the community uncomfortable, so perhaps get off your moral high horse for just a moment. Nothing to do with 'footy fans,' either, perhaps you labelling them is also an issue?

People should be free to celebrate in their own way, good luck to them. I do however have a few gay friends / work colleagues who find the extrovert dressing or promoting their sexuality in this way OTT and would rather people engage with them on a personal level, taking into account their intelligence, humour and character. They don't see being gay as something to shout about and be proud of, rather just their normal way of life and are accepted as that.

I dont agree with everything he says and clearly he’s got an axe to grind but the thrust of his argument on the Labour movement and why it’s not and can’t ever be the far left are spot on.

This shouldn’t go in politics but putting it here because several people have been drinking the crazy water and think mRNA vaccines are the devil spawn. Personally I’m glad we’ve got another way to treat brain tumours. This is the shit you’ve cooked your brain to be against.

Vaccine triggers fierce response to fight brain tumor » McKnight Brain Institute » University of Florida

UF-developed mRNA vaccine quickly reprogrammed the immune system to attack glioblastoma.

Didn't know anything about him other than I knew him from the BBC so I've got no baggage with him. Just reads like evidence of why the left hardly ever gets power incl. his voice and writing style and perspective.

Feels biased towards Starmer and co. when he's writing that 'Labour is on target to build 1.5 million new homes by 2029'. Is it? If his aim was to remind you that left wing politics is still the Life of Brian, fair enough.

It read like a hurried and long winded defence of Starmer which... meh. He's right that a new party with Jezza and Zarah at the helm will be a mess. I'm hoping they'll do the organising at scale part and get good leaders.
