There. Resident WHO political commentators and gurus can knock yourselves out in here and conduct your endless bickering. All other threads will be locked.

Yep, why need for a massive building for an Embassy? I would say it's for industrial espionage at the very least?
Unless of course it's a massive takeaway?
Historically, there were very few cable tunnels eastwards out of London on account of the River Lea and the soil around it being generally unstable. A lot of these tunnels were built decades, if not 100 years ago, in the very early days of the telephone (and Telex was still a big thing), most centred around a building in Queen Victoria street and heading east via Shoreditch before following the old A12 east.
When I left BT over 30 years ago, they had just started, as part of their estate rationalisation strategy, decentralising their international switches and I don't believe that there are any now left in central London. This means that whatever is carried on (the now fibre optic) cables that run past the site of the old royal mint don't carry a great deal of, if any, traffic to & from the City,
I believe that the argument from the UK security forces is that it will mean everybody associated with China & it's embassy will be in one place and easy to monitor (they won't, and it won't).

As fucked up human rights record as China has got and as much as a wet blanket as Starmer is, I still feel more stable and safe doing trade deals with China than that fucked up rapist tantrum thrower in the White House.

There was someone who said he had a gun on him as it was taken away and the first one to shoot him possibly didn't realise it had been removed. 10 shots altogether is excessive. But fancy rocking up either looking for trouble/filming ICE Agents whilst carrying a fire arm yet again to protest/get involved once more in the space of weeks. Those Intensive Care Units in America must be like war zones.
Have a look at the Cam Higby message group transcripts.
He was in all probably doing this almost daily.
The message groups show a high level of organisation, are routinely full to capacity of 1,000 and people not actively participating are encouraged to leave to make room for others.
There are specific roles to perform, people clock in and out in shifts. They have training materials and groups are deleted daily to destroy evidence.
People close to the democrat party in MN have been shown to be involved.
haven't you just described Antifa?
Essentially yes and the same puppet masters are likely funding/controlling this latest incarnation.

I can't actuality believe the BBC reported it.
There must be worse and they need to position themselves accordingly.

Carrying a gun around is completely crazy to me. However there is still no excuse for putting 10 bullets into a guy after you've taken that gun from him and while you have him pinned down.

10 seems a bit much but you might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb once you've discharged the first round.
A bit much?
I think once you have him pinned down you can check if he has any other hidden weapons.
The video shows one of them taking the gun from him, which begs the question as to why they riddled him with bullets?
The cunts executed him.

If anyone cares Brits will be able to enter China without a visa (for 30 days).
That's a fair trade for letting them build a signal interception station disguised as an embassy.
Looks like China have been entering Starmer without a visa for years.
He won't get Jimmy Lai out.

Armed with a gun is an interesting statement and there is footage of this bloke with a gun on his person stuck in his waistband in the middle of his back.
He must have been familiar to the ICE people too and they must have known that he carried a piece thus they were aware of his lethal potential. There is at yet no footage of this bloke handling let alone brandishing his weapon but it baffles me as to why he went to a demo, allegedly to see fair play, with a pistol on his person.
your average American goes to the supermarket armed so I guess this isn't that unusual
