  • Shameful Treatment for Asia and Africa Monday, 19 September 2022 05:57 PM

    Britain announced a few days back that for logistic reasons it would be unable for the foreign leaders arriving at the Queen’s funeral to use their own transport, and instead all the Presidents, Kings, and Prime Ministers arriving there have to use coaches issued by the state. It was a shocking and insulting statement for asking the world leaders to travel by “special buses”. But today when the time came ,what happened ? The leaders from Western Europe, North America , and even Australia came in their own vehicles only exception was the “ easy going “ New Zealand Prime Minister who traveled by coach. However the majority of the leaders not allowed to use their vehicles were BLACK and BROWN leaders from Africa and Asia including our white bootlicking clown Ranil; all these third world “gentlemen” arrived like school children in “buses”.

    @The above comment: The use of coaches to transport world leaders and international royalty to the Queen’s funeral was the largest global protection operation ever undertaken by the British Police. Specialist officers from the Met and other forces, working with FCDO and many other organisations, are well versed with engaging with world leaders and their own protection teams wherever they come from. That meant that dignitaries attending were assigned a high level of security, but the finite number of armed officers to guard them could not be stretched between dozens of cars moving through London. It would have taken at least another four hours if dignitaries used their own means of transport. It is understood, more than 100 Kings, Queens and Heads of State attended, and they used these coaches. As US president, the security risks to Mr Biden were judged to be higher than those for other leaders, meaning he was permitted to travel with a security team in his armoured vehicle.
