Watch: E-bike Explodes at London Train Station

by Will Jones
8 April 2024 1:00 PM

Four people narrowly escaped injury after an e-bike exploded during rush hour at a London train station. The Telegraph has more.

Footage shows the stationary bicycle starting to smoke and then burst into flames, scattering pieces over the platform. …

It comes after a series of electric vehicle explosions.

Last month an electric-powered tricycle caught fire while parked outside Buckingham Palace.

Meanwhile, shocking footage in March also showed a faulty e-bike exploding in a block of flats in Roehampton.

Worth reading in full.

It was previously reported that electric bikes have caused a record number of fires in New York City. According to figures released by the New York Fire Department, e-bikes were responsible for 267 fires in the city during 2023, claiming 18 lives and causing 150 injuries, with fatalities increasing 200% (i.e., threefold) compared to the previous year.

During January, three electric bus fires were reported in London alone.

Paid by Pharma. Pharma-CIA bought all the agencies, Pharm-ments and these £200 million circus-justifications for the Fascism.

Everyone involved made money. As if they will admit to criminal wrong-doing, stupidity, ignorance, or profess any critical thinking to stabbinations, ‘viruses’ or any of the protocols which killed and injured.

Criminals investigating themselves. In related news the SS could find no fault with the Gestapo. I wonder what Bridgen makes of this clown show.

Fair play to Rupert Lowe, he said what a scandal the Lockdowns & jabs were, and he is the only MP (not AB is gone) who mentions the 1689 charter of rights.

Quite so.

The main argument against an inquiry into the paki rape gangs is it might end up as uselessly time-consuming and expensively pointless as this one.

We need to take the hempen rope into our hands methinks.

And that will happen unless 2tk gets his act together and escapes from the student union and back to the real world where decisions matter and lives and livelihoods are at stake.

Spot on about the Muslim rape gangs (did the vast majority of perpetrators originate from the same country as well as practicing the same religion?), although I’d say “will end up” rather than “might end up”. Much better to wait until 2029 and let Farrage set the terms of an inquiry.
Even if the vast majority of men in the rape gangs were Pakistani Muslim is still a better word to use since it was these bastards beliefs e.g. contempt for non Muslims and women that led them to believe that what they were doing was acceptable. Given the number of Somalis, for example, now in the UK how long before there’s a Somali rape gang? There’s never been a Polish rape gang because Poles have very different beliefs to Pakistanis

See Beistol convictions of Somali rape gang in 2014.
Must be a common thread,if I only I could work it out.
Still,as I’m not a KC Prime Minister I suppose I never will.

For complicity in orchestrating the cover up, better add Lady H to the Tier 2 list of nominees to appear in front of the International Criminal Court at The Hague.

Just a reminder of Tier 1: A is for A.B. De Pfeffel, B is for Assorted B’stards, all the way via H for Handcock, to V for UnVallanced (and for Van Tam), and W for UnWhittingly.

Well, I don’t think any of us could have seen that coming.

It’s almost as if the whole inquiry is a sham, a purely performative exercise which was always intended to reach a predetermined conclusion justifying everything the government did and might similarly do in the future.

But that just simply couldn’t be the case, not in our honest and transparent democracy.

I’ll get me coat…

Re Hallet’s Wharehouse – now, as Madame Hallet and all those she employs to help her to service the government of the day get a well earned break from those labours. could she be prosecuted for “living off the earnings”, or is there some legal mechanism for closing down her wharehouse? Can we object to our taxes being used for immoral purposes?

After researching the origins and meaning of the word “whore” I find it can mean expensive, or “dear” (in the sense of the Irish Cara). I am confident the lady and her attendants fit both descriptions as far as the government(s) are concerned so in future I shall give the enquiry by the name it deserves. Hallet’s Whorehouse it is.

“The Covid Inquiry Calling the Vaccines “Safe and Effective” is Like the Post Office Inquiry Calling Horizon “Reliable””
That’s exactly what they would have done had they believed they could get away with it, but the cat was out of the bag and there were people who could be made scapegoats. With “covid” the entire establishment, globally, and billions of people, were enthusiasts for the “pandemic”. Nobody is going to get any thanks for reminding everyone of what a lot of people probably already know in their hearts – that it was a monstrous combination of folly and evil.

The whole enquiry is a sham.
The conclusions that the enquiry is going to reach were set before day 1.
The “evidence” will be tailored and filtered to support the conclusion.
Witnesses will have been cherry picked to fit the agenda.

It’s all a joke.
About as objective as a BBC documentary.

I was doubtful about contributing to their “Every Story Matters” but did so following a talk by Dr. Clare Craig when she recommnded that one should do so. One of my conclusions was that a long lasting result is that lots of people (myself included ) have lost any trust that may have previously had in the system/establishment

Speaking of that discredited “Horizon” post office system, did you know that it has bizarrely been chosen to handle the new Banking Hubs being set up in all the towns where all the bank branches have been permanently shut down?

Hallett and Keith in particular should be ashamed of themselves for participating in this charade. Could it be for filthy lucre?

Calling Covid vaccines safe and effective is like calling Palestinians innocent victims of oppression and genocide.

The “Inquiry” has only one mission: to exonerate all the “Experts” who acted appropriately at all times …. and to blame Johnson for any failures.

So true. A complete waste of time and money.
On an aside, I asked ChatGPT about the Covid vaccines. It spouted the ‘safe and effective’ mantra, quoting the CDC. I challenged it and after asking several question it admitted that it’s first answer should have been a lot more nuanced….
I wonder how many times ChatGPT needs to be challenged to change it’s algorithm?

Excellent appraisal of this extremely expensive whitewash operation. To my mind it has brought the legal profession into serious disrepute which needs to be thoroughly investigated.

Why are we wasting money on this corrupt enquiry which carefully steers away from truth and damage the vaccines, lockdowns and loss of personal freedom forced upon us by governments has caused. Shut it down now and if there is to be an enquiry, remove from it lawyers biased towards the pharmaceutical industry and get it chaired by someone with the guts to ensure the truth is found. This whitewashing enquiry will not fool the many of us who already know much of the truth and as more data is found from people at the DS and others, although concealed by big Pharma and our incompetent journalists employed by the mainstream media, we will know what a disaster governments around the world have caused
