The Mail's write-up of the thugs outside is vintage Mail, marred only by the failure to tell us how much his mother's home is worth:

A lot of people asking me how this isn't the New InfoWars and guess what maybe it is?
When are one of those celebrity boxing shows gonna put this guy up against The Royal Unit?!
Source: @osinttechnical on X The head of Rossotrudnichestvo, Igor Chaika, attempted to downplay Russia's deteriorating relationship with Armenia today, but admitted that "there are ups and downs." The admission comes as Russia's influence in the Caucasus wanes due to the war in Ukraine.
Really struggling with Pakistan's U19 cricket team coaches having to confirm their particulars with a Reform councillor to get him to disperse the mob gathered outside their hotel. We're in a very bad place and we're doing nothing about it.
Daily Mail reports on the balaclava-led vigilante army visiting their offices to protest the newspaper's coverage of Daniel Thomas's background as a middle-class privately educated man jailed for armed kidnapping [the wrong person, over allegations of drug money being nicked]
Got a feeling Arsenal may regret letting Jesus go to Barca so cheaply.
Fucking hell. Feyenoord just brought on Robin Van Persie's son. I'll be in the charnel house if anyone needs me.
Bertie Wooster spoke for us all in "The Code of the Woosters".

I know I have now said this three times in the last hour, but what do you mean they still haven't arrested Daniel Thomas? This is his third incident, the first two were definitely illegal, the last is clearly a breach of the peace, he is identifiable and has literally recorded himself planning it!
Guessing the headline won't be 'hurrah for the blackshirts" tomorrow.
Daniel Thomas / Danny Tommo has today marched his private army of blackshorts to Daily Mail HQ to demand a new house for his mum within 48 hrs, after they doorstepped her for a feature on him. Apparently he plans to blockade them + cry at them until they do Bet those lads are glad of the balaclavas
"Christians wear crosses around their necks. You think when Jesus comes back, he ever wants to see a fuckin' cross? It's like going up to Jackie Onassis with a rifle pendant on, you know? 'Just thinkin' of John, Jackie. Just thinkin' of John.'"
Another way to commemorate 9/11 would be to not do any of this
As reported in @theobserveruk.bsky.social, Reform aides were briefing that the KC who advised that no laws were broken (described to me as "pre-eminent" in electoral law) would "reveal" themselves early this week. Same aides have gone v quiet since observer.co.uk/news/politic...

RNLI volunteers put themselves in harm’s way to save lives. They should never face abuse or threats for doing so. That includes the crews based on the Thames, who respond to hundreds of incidents every year. They deserve to be thanked, not attacked.
Abuse of RNLI volunteers 'wholly unacceptable', chief says
Peter Sparkes says there has been "deliberate misinformation" spread about the charity.

Also, why is this basically written up as "quirky crowd make an embarrassing mistake" and not "violent racists form mob because Asian people use hotel"?

Obviously you can in part put these incidents down to stupidity. But also I think as they don't care? Intimidating others and stirring up hatred is the point.
Incidents like this have happened with increasing regularity over the past couple of years, with many triggered by local misinformation about the arrival of non-white people at hotels But it has also happened elsewhere, including a church gathering in a park and a Scout trip to an activity centre
