Counter terrorism police are leading the investigation into a stabbing at Manchester Victoria railway station on New Year’s Eve where the suspect is alleged to have shouted “Allah!”
2019 is off to a quick start for terrorism. The UK and Japan both had at least one attack each that those respective countries are willing to admit.
Nine people are hurt after a driver deliberately rammed his vehicle into pedestrians in the Shibuya Ward in Tokyo on New Year’s Day in what the suspect told law enforcement was an act of terror, according to Japanese media.
No mention of this on US mainstream media.7nbsp; They want the average person to be clueless of what is happening all over the world.
For the fourth straight week, the Gilets Jaunes (Yellow Vest) movement has protested across France, with violence and vandalism erupting once again in Paris and spreading to cities across the country.
Jack Buckby of TheRebel.media: On the morning of Saturday 1st December, I was in Paris. We walked to the Arc de Triomphe planning to do some quiet morning filming, but it turned out the Paris Gilet Jaunes protests had started early. People from all over Paris and beyond began gathering at this famous monument, ready to protest against Emmanuel Macron’s insane tax policies.
In the third straight week of protests by the Gilets Jaunes (Yellow Jackets) movement, hundreds of protestors were arrested as violence and arson took place across the country with smoke blanketing the Paris skyline in what has been called an “insurrection”.
The protesters are emboldened by the lack of resistance from the police and military. The conflict will continue until there is a repeal in the taxes or until there is real bloodshed of the protesters. Regardless of whether the protesters believe in global warming or not, they do not want to be taxed in an effort by the government to reshape how France operates. Macron believes that by taxing the gas at a high rate, it will force people to look to green transportation such as electric cars. The public disagrees with this tactic.
Riot police have deployed water cannon, tear gas, and stun grenades against protesters on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, France, as the “Yellow Jackets” stage their third major rally against President Emmanuel Macron’s “green” tax hikes on fuel.
Seems to be getting worse every day. Unfair taxation is the stuff of which revolutions are made.
#UPDATE: Police fire tear gas to disperse protesters trying to tear down barricades on the Champs-Elysees in Paris as hundreds converged on the city for new demonstrations, with anger over fuel taxes morphing into a wide-ranging anti-government movementhttps://t.co/8YpNdTEruC

London’s Metropolitan Police are considering sending visibly armed officers on patrol in gang-plagued residential areas, amidst the city’s on-going violent crime wave.
Police in the UK are now becoming militarized, and the average patrol officers are more likely to be armed as well. The police are also resorting to more aggressive tactics to take common street criminals off the streets. Will they have enough jail space for the increased arrest rate, and will these tactics actually stop crime.
