Hundreds of moped riders protest at Parliament.

Apparently today hundreds of moped delivery riders rode to Parliament Square to protest after a man was killed by a gang trying to steal his bike. I'd post the Daily Star link but it crashes my iPad so here's the Twitter feed.

Scores of moped delivery drivers rode through London last night in protest at the murder of a colleague beaten to death by thugs trying to steal his bike.

Iderval da Silva, 46, was attacked by teenagers on bicycles as they attempted to steal his scooter in a Tesco car park in Battersea on Saturday afternoon.

Mr da Silva, who had a 26-year-old son, was punched and beaten over the head with a hammer. He died from his injuries in hospital yesterday.

Last night, about 200 drivers rode through Westminster to the Houses of Parliament before kneeling in a circle on the green. One from the Stolen Motorcycle Recovery group said: “People were were riding in support of the victim and to protest over the levels of crime suffered by delivery riders. Many are Brazilian and feel because they are foreign no-one really cares about them.”

I never realised we imported Brazilian moped riders to deliver fast food.

Is this just a London thing? I can’t ever say I remember large groups of Brazilians in London. I only remember the backpack runner on the tube who got shot.

How did I know you'd ignore the key issue and seize on the immigrant aspect? Be ashamed.

Always been plenty of Brazilians in London although you could easily be forgiven for not noticing.

There was a big wave of, how shall I put it, urgent emigration from Europe after WW2 and so 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. generations have drifted back to Europe. London being The Centre of the Known Universe a fair few have turned up here over the years... strangely speaking more German and Italian than the Portuguese one might expect!
