Tonight, my family and I experienced something no family should ever have to go through.
Our restaurant, Singh’s Dining Restaurant in Hammersmith, was attacked by a group of Islamists.
We had been receiving death threats every single day, including one that specifically warned us that 28 October would be our last day.
We raised our concerns, and the @metpoliceuk were aware of the threats. Yet tonight, we found ourselves facing the very nightmare we had feared.
My daughter had to close the shutters just in time. I cannot even begin to imagine what might have happened if she hadn’t acted so quickly. We could have lost someone in our family tonight.
The attackers reportedly tried for a long time to break through the shutters to get inside, leaving shortly before the police arrived.
We have serious concerns about how the attackers knew when to leave, and whether they were alerted before the police arrived. These concerns deserve a thorough and transparent investigation.
Tonight, I am left facing a heartbreaking decision, Do we keep our doors open and risk our lives, or do we shut down the business we have worked so hard to build because I don’t serve Halal food.
No family should ever have to choose between their livelihood and their safety. No one should have to live in fear in their own place of work.
I am angry. I am heartbroken. I am frightened for my family’s safety.
I am calling on the @metpoliceuk to take these threats seriously, investigate tonight’s attack thoroughly, and ensure that my family is protected.
Please share this post. Let our voices be heard. We should not have to wait for someone to lose their life before our safety is taken seriously.
Enough IS Enough.

While we alienate key allies such as Canada, the White House bows to Vladimir Putin and sells out Ukrainians fighting for their freedom and democracy. - Obama
In my opinion, Obama is not the person who should accuse someone of selling out the Ukrainians, especially since he did nothing during his term about Russia annexing Crimea and starting a war in Donbas.
But overall, it's a very good message, because the current Trump administration is openly selling out the nation's interests for personal gain, and everyone can see it but is powerless to do anything about it

The United Arab Emirates is moving forward with plans to establish a massive, permanent 15-story embassy in the Israeli coastal city of Herzliya, six years after normalizing diplomatic relations with Israel under the US-brokered Abraham Accords.
The building will cover up to 15,000 square meters across 15 floors, combining diplomatic offices with private residences for the Emirati ambassador and embassy personnel.
The UAE became the first Gulf country to open an embassy in Israel in July 2021, following the historic Abraham Accords signed in September 2020.
The latest approval marks another step toward a permanent Emirati diplomatic presence in Israel.

THE MAIL PUT HIS KIDS' HOTEL ON THE FRONT PAGE. TOMMY'S THE ONE FACING PRISON. 😡🇬🇧
They flew to Cyprus, found him on a sunbed, printed where his family was staying. Nothing happened to them. No charge. No caution.
He reacted in fury and tried to find the reporters who did it. For that he was convicted yesterday and faces ten years.
So the newspaper walks free and the father goes to court, how is that British justice.
Two-tier justice. Plain as day. Stand with Tommy. 🇬🇧

The Pentagon is treating a rash of freezer malfunctions that affected refrigeration and freezer units at commissaries at several U.S. military bases in August as a suspected cyberattack, according to four officials familiar with the matter who spoke to Reuters. The Pentagon said a Cyber Command unit is “working in close coordination with interagency and law enforcement partners” in the ongoing investigation.
At least six on base commissaries were affected in late August, per Reuters’ review of base social media posts. In at least one case, the cooling units’ temperatures were raised overnight, resulting in spoiled food. Fort Huachuca, Arizona, posted that its freezer “went into defrost mode where it heated up all the food.”
One official said investigators have been in touch with French counterparts about a similar attack that hit more than 350 French supermarkets earlier this month.

Charles Kushner has one hell of a record…
He hired a prostitute to sleep with his brother-in-law, filmed it, then sent it to his own sister.
He also went to federal prison for 2 years for witness tampering and illegal campaign contributions.

Ukraine carried out two missile strikes today, according to Zelenskyy.
One was the already known Neptune strike on Marinovka Air Base in Russia’s Volgograd Oblast, where the Ukrainian Navy says two Su-34 fighter-bombers were destroyed.
The second strike hit a Russian Iskander missile launcher. Notably, it’s specifically described that both operations were missile strikes, although the missile type used against the Iskander launcher remains unknown.

🇺🇸‼️🇺🇦 Pentagon refuses to investigate Starlink restrictions in Ukraine that made it difficult to intercept Russian drones, — AP.
A bipartisan group of nine U.S. senators — four Republicans and five Democrats — demanded that the Pentagon’s inspector general investigate disruptions in Starlink and the military’s Starshield system.
However, he said that these issues should be dealt with by the U.S. Air Force. The Air Force, in turn, did not respond to requests for comment from reporters or senators.

乌克兰🇺🇦前总司令、现任驻英国大使扎卢日内给西方泼了一盆冷水：俄乌冲突打不完，根子在西方安全体系太脆弱，还停留在二战理论上，靠昂贵的精确武器撑场面，可2026年的战争早就变了样，西方得走出舒适区，摒弃过时理论能保护子孙后代的幻想，重新制定军事理论。
他2026年7月在英国《每日电讯报》上就说过，别被乌克兰打击俄境内能源和后勤营造的俄罗斯要输了的氛围骗了，那是危险误读。无人机、精确打击、全天候侦察已经改变了战场，任何一方都难取得决定性突破，战争早就从快速机动变成了长期消耗。俄罗斯的打法不是速胜，而是从经济、军事、心理上拖垮乌克兰，它在人力和弹道导弹生产等关键工业上占优势，光靠防空系统，乌克兰抵消不了这个差距。

🇳🇱 BREAKING: NETHERLANDS - SUSPECT ARRESTED AND DRONE SEIZED FOLLOWING SUSPICIOUS FLIGHTS OVER EEMSHAVEN
Dutch police have confirmed the arrest of a man residing in Belgium in connection with suspicious drone activity over Eemshaven, a strategically important port in northern Netherlands.
Key developments:
• The suspect was arrested on 20 October following reports of repeated drone flights.
• Police reportedly took control of the drone and confiscated it.
• The suspect has since returned to Belgium but remains under investigation.
• Eemshaven hosts critical energy infrastructure and handles military equipment for NATO allies.
• Additional drone sightings have been reported near the Farmsum chemical complex and a solar installation in Scheemda.
Importantly, Dutch police have not established a connection between these incidents.
There is currently no confirmed evidence of espionage or foreign state involvement.
The seizure of the drone could provide investigators with valuable technical and flight data.
After weeks of unexplained drone activity around European critical infrastructure, this is a notable development in the Dutch investigation.
