1. A minister said it is “possible” that China has sent spy balloons into the UK after a series of flying objects have entered US airspace over the last fortnight...
When asked by Sky News presenter Anna Jones on Monday if the UK may have had “Chinese spy balloons” in its airspace, transport minister Richard Holden said it was “possible”.
“It’s also possible – and I would think likely – that there will be people from the Chinese government trying to act as a hostile state,” Holden explained.
“We saw with Russia, here in the UK with the Salisbury poisonings and other actions they have taken, I think we’ve got to be realistic that these countries are opposed to the UK....
“The US will share with us and Five Eyes allies its conclusions on the capabilities of the Chinese balloons and at that point an internal review of our ability to identify, track, disrupt and destroy these balloons will be undertaken.”
The White House claims Chinese balloons have been seen over five continents although it did not name them....

2. Public urination is a growing menace in London, especially in the Soho neighbourhood in the city of Westminster. Now authorities are using ‘splash back’ paint on walls, which bounces onto offenders, leaving them covered in their pee.
If you thought urinating in public was an Indian problem you are mistaken. The United Kingdom too faces a similar menace. Now the Westminster City Council in London has come up with a novel way to deal with those relieving themselves in public and it involves paint.
No, the authorities are not writing quirky messages on walls as we see in India. But they are painting them with a “splash back” substance which will leave offenders soaked in their own urine. Wonder what that is.
To deter drunk revellers from urinating in public, the council is painting the streets of Soho, a neighbourhood in the City of Westminster with pubs, dining and shopping centres, with special paint. It reportedly splashes back on the person who urinates on it, according to a report in the BBC.
The paint is made of a water-repellent layer, so urine or any other liquid bounces back on the perpetrators. Walls and streets of five locations including Westminster and central London will get a coat of the “splash back” paint....
Aicha Less, deputy leader of Westminster City Council, told MyLondon, “Residents and businesses are fed up. It’s finally pee-back time and we’re taking action to stop people using alleyways or doorways as a toilet. The ingenious paint is one of a number of steps we are taking to discourage people from relieving themselves in public or on private property.”
In Soho, hundreds of drunk people meet at pubs, according to Soho Society chairman Tim Lord. “It’s extraordinary we don’t have more public toilets… residents just get people urinating on their doors. It’s awful.”...
According to a report in MyLondon, a Soho trader used to clean up human faeces and used condoms twice every day, as people used his market stall like a loo.
Last year, Robin Smith, who runs a dairy in the area, had to clean the street near his stall every day as it was covered in human excrement. “Every morning you have to stand in a puddle of p***. The stench is all around you… It’s unfortunate to the extreme. It’s an al fresco loo,” he complained.

3. The UK transport minister spoke as though China is just situated across the English Channel. He might as well claim that a Chinese spy has hidden under the British king's bed at least once this year. He should go back to a kindergarten to refresh his knowledge of geography about the distance between China and the UK.
Like some British men who spew rubbish from below in public, some UK politicians have the tendency to spew out a lot of nonsense from their mouths nowadays. The growing menace of public urination in London is not only a symptom of societal decline but also a confirmation that the British Empire has gone, gone, gone forever like many other empires.
