A former British ambassador to the US was brutally beaten by two thugs at London's Victoria Station.

Sir Christopher Meyer, 74, was left covered in blood after the attack as he took the Tube home on Wednesday afternoon. --snip-- "I’m absolutely shocked by the level of the brutality. They really beat him. It’s appalling — like something you would see in a war zone."

Police have arrested a man and a woman over the attack, according to Lady Meyer, who said she planned to raise the issue of violent crime in the House of Lords.

At the bottom of the article:

Lady Meyer added: “At first I thought that the attack was politically motivated. He is opinionated, and sometimes people have different opinions, but the police told me they believe that it is more likely that they might have wanted to rob him.”

I kept scrolling, looking for the punch line. You’ve got a pretty good idea, but its always fun to find out you’re right.

How about that, same as Seth Rich, so this guy should feel GREAT — and lucky!

Which is why cctv security camera (with which London is saturated) video footage will likely not be released to the public.

Unless it turns out to have been a couple of anglos, we’ll either never hear about it, or it’ll be buried on page 64.

Given POTUS’s presence over there, I’m guessing either ‘asians’ or a couple of the hanky-faced rent-a-traitors.

Let me guess, officers Mohamed Takik, Mohamed Fazier, and Mohamed Mohammad told her that.

Sorry, but my weather vane says it’s 99.999276% likely to have been his Trump support.

Probably "afro-caribbeans", the so called "Windrush Generation". Yes, it's not only "asians", although they tend to overshadow this other problem.

It was the Piranha Brothers.....

Stig: Well he had to, didn't he? I mean there was nothing else he could do, be fair. I had transgressed the unwritten law.

Interviewer: What had you done?

Stig: Er... well he didn't tell me that, but he gave me his word that it was the case, and that's good enough for me with old Dinsy. I mean, he didn't *want* to nail my head to the floor. I had to insist. He wanted to let me off. He'd do anything for you, Dinsdale would.

Globalism is “The Swamp”.

It has 3 faces Socialism(Nazis), Communism and islam. They all have a single goal, worldwide domination under a single ruler.

Right now democratic republics are their softest targets.
