‘Mr Gohrbani was handcuffed and led away by five officers’. Five officers no less – it must have been terrifying for the onlookers to witness such a blatant threat to their safety, due to the sight of an exposed banana. I could have understood it if he had an offensive weapon such as a pineapple – those things could be bloomin dangerous in the wrong hands, all those sharp, pointy bits on them.
I hope counselling was offered to the crowd and those five brave officers for tackling this menace.
There’s only one thing to be done I’m afraid – ban the banana. Banning the bent fruit will surely help to free up police time to tackle the ever increasing crime of use of knives and machetes against the public…
Nice one. Plod going above and beyond as usual.
“all those sharp, pointy bits on them”
Especially if you use it from the wrong end!
Ouch!
I’am genuinely baffled!!
It’s a good job it was only a banana
, if they’d have caught him with a horrifically racist Kumquat it would have been lights out for him!
Arrested for eating a banana… Did he appeal for release?
I believe the evidence – the banana – got squashed underfoot (all over the pavement) so it would be a fruitless arrest, surely?
John Cleese in Monty Python’s “Self-Defence” sketch comes to mind!
The Government should ban this sort of thing.
Hey up, there’ll be a petition set up soon.
‘Just Stop sun spots’
‘Just Stop plasma’
‘Just Stop sun storms’
Perhaps we could send the Magna Carta Sistas to the sun, see if they can do something about it.
With the added benefit of increasing the average intelligence of earth dwellers.
Just another statistic. Do you think the Khant sleeps well at night as he carries on denying the reality? **Graphic**
”The “new normal” in “Modern London” continues following Sadiq Khan’s reelection as a Somalian murders a woman in her 60s in broad daylight at a bus stop in Burnt Oak Broadway, Edgware, reportedly because she wouldn’t hand over her handbag.”
https://twitter.com/HarishMali06/status/1789197640267395280
More here, but you can guess the one obvious detail they omit. ”Isolated incident”?? Which your own crime stats contradict, you lying bloody git!
”A woman was stabbed to death in the street as she tried to stop her handbag being snatched, a horrified witness has claimed.
Good Samaritans desperately tried in vain to save the victim’s life after she collapsed in a pool of blood. Jess Bloom, who was working at a hairdresser’s near the scene, told how she saw the woman being repeatedly knifed as she clung to her bag.
She added: “The guy was trying to get her handbag but she said, ‘No,’ and fought back. I saw her pull the handbag twice. He pulled her into the road and stabbed her three times.
“He let go of her and she dropped to the ground. She was covered in blood and his hand was red. It happened at the bus stop and the woman ended up in the middle of the road. He ran off and everyone ran to the woman to help her. I heard the scream.”
”The Met’s Det Chief Insp Alex Gammampila said: “I know the effects of this incident will be felt throughout the community and would like to reassure everyone that a man is in custody, and we are not looking for any other suspects. We are working hard to establish the motive for this offence, which we believe to be an isolated incident.”

18% of ‘Londoners’ who voted for Khant think this is normal!
In my day, an incident like this would be national news, front page stuff!
But with Londons new demographic, it’s just normal
‘The MOTIVE for this offence’??!!
Work harder, dim plods, and you might come to the obvious conclusion that the motive was
THEFT
committed by a low-IQ barbarian immigrant allowed into this country to commit crime –
and MURDER because the theft didn’t go to plan for aforesaid barbarian let loose in this country to commit crime.
MURDER was also committed by the morons who let the barbarian loose in this country and have as much BLOOD on their hands as the barbarian –
and ALL the MURDERERS should be locked up for a very long time, which probably won’t be very long, knowing the ineptness and corruption of the ‘justice system’ of this country, so deportation of all murderers to Somalia would be better.
If the plods work out that the motive for the attack was actually TERRORISM, they will never reveal that, but claim that the poor thief/murderer/terrorist is suffering from mental illness.
Of course, Khunt’s Londonistan has the kind of feral atmosphere that inspires a mindset of ‘any crime is fine’ in low IQ immigrants, so he should be deported too to restore civilisation.
“Islolated incident”
Plod telling lies.
Presumably because only one poor woman was brutally knifed to death the incident counts as “isolated.”
Until the next one.

“Aurora strongest it has been in over 20 years”
Three headlines on the aurora? Climatistas must be working out how to parse that into their boiling planet schtick – all while avoiding the rapid decline in the Earth’s magnetic grid in preparation for pole shift….

Another ‘conspiracy theory’ Mordaunt missed in her ‘guide’ that turns out to be ‘not untrue’ – Dr Jessica Rose’s recent piece on Pfizer employees getting a different shot to the plebs:
https://jessicar.substack.com/p/batches-for-thee-but-not-for-me
Separate shots for ’employees’. This necessarily means one of two things: that there were batches that were less harmful than others, or that there were known placebo batches (saline injections – and I mean, true saline injections that would be harmless).
If the former is true, that there is known variation between batches (whatever this means), then the batches were designed this way. If THIS is true, then we have intent on our hands.
If only it had all been saline!
“Severe space storm could knock out mobile phones this weekend”
In the 4.6 billion years this planet has been knocking around I bet this has happened before..it’s just that humanity wasn’t present at the time!
Whut? Is this what wiped out the dinosaurs? Their mobile phones failed? Maybe we should look on it as an evolutionary force.
“Eden Golan says: “I’m not scared.”
Stick that up your pipe, terrorists backers!
I have been making this argument for the last 20 years, because that’s at least how long it’s been going on.
Basically since 9/11 and then afterwards with the rise of China and the admiration its technocratic authoritarianism seem to elicit from our own elites, we’ve been turning our back on what has made western civilisation the greatest and most prosperous there has been in human history.
If we were to stick to our values of freedom and individualism, we will remain prosperous and the envy of all those who don’t have it.

“Giant heat pumps to turn retirement haven into one of Britain’s greenest towns”
A town full of older people living by the sea having to have their heating turned down permanently! What could possibly go wrong?
She claims her genetic inheritance shows 43% Nigerian.
I think that entitles her to be made Queen of Nigeria and Harry can be the Duke of Nigeria.
Then they can both stay there and stop annoying us.
Oops, replied to wrong Dinger64 post.
But maybe the Queen of Nigeria could introduce giant heat pumps into her new land.
“Duchess thanks people of Nigeria for “welcoming me home”,
OMG! What on earth does a B rated, bit part, entitled American actress know about life in Nigeria?
‘Gaslighting’? Labour luvvie Rachel Reeves knows **** all about gaslighting until she’s watched the experts.
The REAL MEGA-gaslighters are the Palestinian-terrorist-mob-supporters currently infesting the UK, other countries and universities worldwide with their wannabe-terrorist houndstooth headscarves, camping tents and loud-mouthy anti-Semitic aggression.
They have gaslighted millions of dimwits into believing that a hamas terrorist invasion of Israeli territory Never Happened on 7/10/23 with murders, rapes and hostages taken, still not returned.
“Whaaat? That Never Happened! You must be losing your mind if you think hamas attacked Israel first!! Babies murdered? Get outta here! Seventh of October? – don’t have a clue what you’re talking about, you useful idiot.
The hamas-supporting Palestinians are the REAL victims, so are you coming along to wave Pally flags and gob off about that, or not? The Met police LOVE us! They chase openly Jewish people away so we’re not triggered.”
