Yes that's right. Maybe it isn't all parts of the airport there are any.

Quote from: CHF on May 21, 2026, 10:50:44 AMOh, Muddy, I'm too old, and my brain power is fast receding; it's going out like the tide.
But I hate unfairness and racism, we are all the same under our skin - good, bad, and
indifferent, whatever colour we are, or country in which we were born.

I was Conservative and thought it the best, despite some of its mistakes. But their last
+ 14 years sickened me. So now I'm a floating voter, but I know who and what I would
not vote for.

However, my regards to all and good luck.

We are all the same in the fact that we are human beings  but we are not all the same in other ways .
Skin colour means nothing to me I have lived with dark skinned people most of my life .
I like dark skin it looks healthier ( even though it may not be .) 
I like my own skin better when it's got a nice tan .
But what is different are cultural mores .
All cultures are not equal by a long shot .
Our Judeo - Christian culture and values are very different to some cultures and that is what the doctrine of multiculturalism has got so wrong .
We have tolerated culture habits that are totally alien to our own and this is noy only not good its consequences are horrendous .
Cruelty to animals is the first one .
It's best not to think too much about Halal slaughter without prestunning but just imagine haveing your own throat cut slowly and in brutal terrifying conditions.
Women are second class human beings .
This is wrong in every sense .
So if I were PM ritual slaughter without pre-stunning would stop tomorrow .
Full face coverings would be immediately made against the law .

Quote from: JBR on May 21, 2026, 10:51:52 AMI think it's now long overdue that our police should be the same.
Obviously, only the ones who have shown previously that they are suitably restrained and trustworthy.
On the other hand, I suppose that from the things I have seen on the telly and in the news, there seem to be well-trained armed police in the UK who are instantly available if the need arises.

Yes, more quick-reaction armed police, please, and more police helicopters regionally.
Perhaps I'm biased from watching such events on the telly!
I am quite surprised that no armed police were available at the airport .
That is where you generally see them

Summer lags the longest day though. July and August beat April and May hands down. May has been very disappointing this year though so far.

I'm so very suspicious of unknown phone numbers that I mostly let it go to voicemail. If it's important and I don't think it's a scam I phone straight back, If I'd got the call about the train ticket ect I'd have opened my banking app and checked right away, I always always know what's what with my accounts and would see at once if anything was different.
Scams are one of my obsessions and I'm always alert for them.

If we have armed police we'll get more armed criminals and doubtless some collateral damage and more mistaken shootings. They've shot a bloke carrying a table leg in the past. Plus the Brazilian electrician whose only crime was being a bit brown and there are doubtless others.
