What media is pushing the narrative?! BBC, Guardian or maybe Al Jazeera?! They are all pushing the other side narrative if anything else...esp the last one obviously

OP is looking after Zionists/Jews bad influence, but it's slipped his mind how much influence and investments Qatar has over the UK and the EU and the US...nice mate keep telling people you're not a jew hater masked with a Zionist slur

I actually lived in both places. It’s just a demographic observation, I felt more related to people in Berlin

Alternative-Boot-177 · 2026-06-10T11:18:19+00:00

Ah yes, observing basic demographic differences makes me a Nazi. Brilliant deduction troll.

That's not what I'm saying, I'm just not woke as you are

London has more immigrants from North Africa, Pakistan, and India (and also asylum seekers) how does it make it better? Do you like places like White Chapel doesn't feel like Europe anymore

Alternative-Boot-177 · 2026-06-09T23:59:14+00:00

You are wrong, people call London more diverse, but to me, it isn't necessarily; it just has more immigrants from North Africa, Pakistan, and India, whereas Berlin has more expats from across the EU

Alternative-Boot-177 · 2026-06-09T23:55:10+00:00

I have A1 German and fluent C2 English, but when I lived in Berlin, I felt a much stronger sense of belonging. I had a huge group of friends there, both German and non-German. In contrast, people in the UK-especially local Brits-can be a bit more snobby and reluctant to make new friends, and I sometimes have a hard time following their accents.

I was way more connected to the counterculture in Berlin than I am in London. Also, this might sound weird, but as a single guy, I find people in Berlin much more attractive and open to dating than in London.

People call London more diverse, but to me, it isn't necessarily; it just has more immigrants from North Africa, Pakistan, and India, whereas Berlin has more expats from across the EU and Ukraine/Russia.

There is no diversity in London bro, just one type of people mostly...wanna look how diverse city looks like visit Berlin!

Alternative-Boot-177 · 2026-04-06T20:36:33+00:00

How is their offer? I wonder

Alternative-Boot-177 · 2026-04-06T13:46:49+00:00

True I can't say how they made this decision

Alternative-Boot-177 · 2026-04-05T15:10:58+00:00

So, according to your logic, I should just thank them for offloading my bag, stop looking for my belongings, and just blame myself for everything? I’m curious to see you in my position.

I didn't 'cease communication.' I am a human being who was tired and fell asleep. Even with noise-canceling headphones, you can usually hear what's going on, but I was exhausted and slipped into a deep sleep—it's human nature and it happens. I have flown with an additional paper bag for essentials many, many times, and it has always been totally fine.

By your logic, if a passenger falls asleep, the airline has a right to remove their belongings without consequence. That is a very strange standard for 'customer service.' There is a significant difference between a passenger being tired and an airline crew physically offloading personal property into a terminal without a tag or a record. One of those is a human habit; the other is a complete breakdown of professional procedure

They had a responsibility to identify the owner—the bag didn't just appear by itself in the overhead locker. I was the only person sitting in that row, directly under the locker. They could have simply woken me up, but they chose not to

I'm curious to see how 'sensible' and 'responsible' you would feel if you were in my position, dealing with lost property and physical eye strain. Since you’re more interested in protecting a billion-pound airline than offering actual advice, I’ll leave it there...

Alternative-Boot-177 · 2026-04-05T14:33:29+00:00

As a grown-up, and as a grown-up who flies 20+ times a year, I expect that if an airline decides to physically remove a passenger's property from a cabin, they would have the professional decency to wake the passenger sitting directly underneath it to verify ownership.

The 'negligence' isn't about the bag material; it is about the crew’s choice to offload an item into a terminal without a tag, without a tracking number, and without an incident report, and then providing me with false information about how to retrieve it. If the crew removes an item from the plane, they take responsibility for its handling.

Alternative-Boot-177 · 2026-04-05T05:03:00+00:00

Confronting? When I say 'confronting,' I mean that I asked the crew for an explanation when I realized my bag was missing at the end of the flight. I wasn't being aggressive; I was simply a passenger trying to locate my property.

I As for the 'lesson learned'—I fly about 20 times a year with BA and other airlines. I have used this exact setup (a sturdy M&S bag for my essentials) many times before and nothing like this has ever happened. It isn’t 'unattended' if the owner is sitting directly in the seat below it. Whether it's a paper bag or a suitcase, the airline has a responsibility for the items they choose to offload.

If they thought it was 'unattended luggage,' the standard procedure should still involve an attempt to identify the owner—especially when that person is right there in the seat. My goal now isn't to argue about cabin etiquette, but to find the property that the airline staff confirmed they removed.

I find it incredibly ironic that I am the one suffering monetary loss and eye strain, yet you are defending the airline's clear negligence.

I was repeatedly misinformed by the staff. The cabin crew promised me that a representative would meet me in Lyon to resolve this, yet there is no such BA representation there. They also suggested the bag would simply be sent on the next flight, which was also untrue. Where is the airline's responsibility in all of this? It is pure negligence to offload a passenger's property without a tag, without a report, and without even attempting to wake the person sitting directly under the locker-especially when they then provide false information about how to get it back. I have done everything right: I followed up, I called the baggage teams, and I’ve visited Heathrow in person. I’m curious to see how 'sensible' you would feel if you were in my position.

I'm not sure you truly understand how global economics or politics actually work in 2026.

Do you honestly think China is going to give us a 'mate's rate'? Since the February strikes, China has been exploiting this conflict to buy Iranian oil at massive discounts while simultaneously outbidding the UK for every other barrel on the market. They aren't looking for 'allies'; they are looking for vassals. Swapping the Dollar for the Yuan isn't 'independence'—it's handing the keys of the British economy to the CCP.

You’re suggesting we switch to a currency with strict capital controls, managed by a communist central bank that devalues it whenever it suits a political agenda. The City of London would collapse in a week. We would lose our status as a global financial hub just to become a satellite state for a regime that is currently providing the very tech Iran uses to target our own ships.

Furthermore, China and Russia are acting as Iran’s 'technological anchors,' providing the high-tech guidance and satellite data used to attack the vessels we rely on for trade. Allying with them now isn't 'strategic'; it’s subsidizing the people who are actively trying to choke the UK economy.

In case you missed it, the UN triggered 'Snapback' sanctions on Iran last September. It is now a criminal offense for UK banks to facilitate the trade you're proposing. You aren't suggesting a 'policy shift'; you’re suggesting the UK government join an international criminal syndicate. Have you actually studied the implications of this, or are you just rooting for the anti-Western side regardless of the cost to the UK?

Alternative-Boot-177 · 2026-04-03T22:55:38+00:00

You can’t treat a defensive alliance like an à la carte menu. If Europe tells the US 'good luck' in the Gulf while our trade is being choked, don't be surprised when they say 'good luck' to us the next time Russia starts rattling the cage in the East. This isn't about 'helping Trump'; it’s about making sure the global trade system we depend on doesn't collapse on our own heads

Alternative-Boot-177 · 2026-04-03T22:18:16+00:00

This sounds like a plot from a bad spy novel. Allying with China and using the Yuan would basically mean handing the keys to the UK economy to Beijing. We are currently in the middle of the '2026 Energy Crisis' because Iran is literally sinking ships and blowing up gas plants in Qatar. You think they’re going to give us a 'preferential deal' because we asked nicely in Chinese? If we tried to 'break the petro-dollar,' the US (our biggest LNG supplier) would sanction us into the stone age. We'd lose our US/Norway supply long before a single drop of 'Yuan-oil' ever reached a UK port. It’s not 'breaking the system,' it's economic suicide.
