Average London rents. £1,000 pcm for a room. £1,300 to £2,000 for a small apartment. Landlords are renting out tiny spaces and cupboards. They should be banned. No security of tenancy.

Except it wasn't a "satellite" balloon. Was it even able to transmit any info back to China? I doubt it would be able to transmit any photographs if indeed there was even a camera.
We don't really know what the balloon was capable of doing. Maybe the collected debris will reveal some info.

Gen. Glen VanHerck, commander of US Northern Command and North American Aerospace Defense Command, told reporters a “domain awareness gap” led to the Pentagon’s failure to detect the “threats” during Trump’s tenure, but the military later learned about the balloons via intelligence-gathering operations “from additional means.”
VanHerck offered clarity after a senior Defense official said Saturday that Chinese government surveillance balloons flew over the U.S. at least three times during Trump’s time in office and once at the beginning of Biden’s tenure, adding that none of the previous four flights lasted as long as the most recent incident.

Coulda been
The "suspect" if guilty committed a horrendous brutal crime and more likely will receive the death penalty.
There seem to be no forced confessions so the cops must be happy with the evidence they already have.
