London bus attack: Arrests after gay couple who refused to kiss beaten
BBC ^ | 7 June 2019

Ms Geymonat added that the gang of at least four men might have broken her nose during the ordeal, and stole a phone and bag from them before fleeing.

Both women were taken to hospital for treatment to facial injuries, but have now been discharged.

Ms Geymonat said one of the men spoke Spanish and the others had British accents.

The usual suspects?

But all cultures are equal?

The Prime Minister made a comment about this attack. So they are more special than the hundreds of attacks a day in London.

Some people are such a protected class.

Which British accent?

Just guessing.

This story makes me sick.

Live and let live.

I have no problem with people who want same sex relationships. We can be friends.

No issue as long as they accept straight people and don’t reach for a megaphone and attempt to indoctrinate.

These poor women were minding their own business.

I hope they throw the book at the attackers!!

Those sick vicious bastards should be put down.

I have three older sisters and when I hear about men hitting women I go off the rails.

Yep, if the victim had been a straight white English male the government wouldn’t have given a damn.

It’s the politics of gay people that bother me the most, although I do know gays that are for the most part conservative on the other issues.

Trump has more gay supporters than the media would have you believe.

Has London gotten to the point where having a British accent actually is a useful identifying description?

Mohammed Emwazi had a British accent. He was the Brit who beheaded James Foley.

It tends to be the offspring of those who immigrated who become radicalized.

You could look today and say that the Muslims aren’t so bad. But what about their children? And their children’s children?

Good point.

I had two employees from Scotland.

Jane was from Edinburgh, Angela was
from Glasgow.

Their accents were as unalike as
you could get and still speak the
same language. Jane’s accent was hot;
Angel’s was not.

IF they were white, it would be trumpeted by the media. Most likely African or Muslim migrants.

How did the perps know the women are homosexual? Did they put it on in-your-face display?

A lilting Edinburgh accent is a delight. A cute little blonde tour guide at the Glen Livet distillery once nearly made me fall in love. The Scots accent and dialect from Glasgow is unintelligible to most English speakers. The TV comedy Rab C. Nesbitt is an excellent example. It's gut bustingly funny, but should have English subtitles.

I think the motive was robbery, and that “asking to get a kiss” was to put the women on the defensive & get close.

Since the thugs were demanding the women kiss, it’s logical to assume they had not been doing so. And since thugs were sitting behind the women, an in-your-face-display would require some serious contortions.

I worked with two girls from Scotland
Who I got to talk to a lot
That Edinburgh Jane pitched a tent in my pants
But the Glasgow Angel did not!
