Drowning London in Migrants, and More is Never Enough By Richard Miller (London)

It is cruel to see what the elites are doing to London. Mayor Sadiq Khan has devoted his time to pursuing woke causes such as a police manhunt against “offensive communications,” that cost  $2,000,000 (USD) in taxpayer money, but yielded only six prosecutions. And now he is pushing with all his strength to increase the number of migrants into London, even though London has a massive housing crisis, and homelessness is up 25 percent. This now majority non-white city is an unpleasant place to be, and I am working to get my affairs in order and leave as soon as possible, even though I was born here, and lived here all my life.

“In 2021, Jihad Watch and The Left Column reported about Sadiq Khan’s bids to tear down historic London statues, demonstrating his lack of respect for the history of London. Homelessness in Britain is up over 25%, as the government is putting thousands of illegal migrants in posh hotels. Sadiq Khan’s London saw the sharpest surge of homeless people, with an increase of  “34 per cent from 640 in 2021 to 858 last year.” It is one thing to support responsible immigration policies that would contribute to Britain’s economy, and another to support suicidal immigration policies, as does Khan. Khan’s woke policies have contributed to the steady decline of London.

In 2018, Khan invested $2,000,000 (USD) in taxpayer money in a police hunt against “offensive communication,” amid London’s violent crime surge. Less than a year later, Khan’s massive expenditure resulted in only six prosecutions for online thought crimes. Rather than scrap the whole endeavor, which was wrong on so many levels, and focus on real crime, a spokesman for Khan argued that even more work needed to be done to combat online “hate.” Khan has made no secret of his disdain for Britain’s freedoms, and views Britons as a bunch of “racists” and “Islamophobes.” Khan has also:

• endorsedanti-Semites, and defended 9/11 terrorists and an al Qaeda member.
• played the victim cardto the point of cautioning Westerners to play by the rules of Islamic supremacists, so as to not upset them and lead them to join jihadi groups.
• called deadly jihad attacks“part and parcel” of life in a big city.
• called progressive Muslims who want to live in harmony with Western non-Muslims “uncle Toms.”

Khan’s call for more migrants to fill a labor shortage is deceitful. Britain is currently in the throes of a migrant crisis. London (and all of Britain) is suffering economically precisely because of the destructive policies of the likes of Khan and his woke followers, who support open-door, unvetted migration. In 2020, Khan cried that it was “never harder to be a Muslim” and blamed Donald Trump for it, while ignoring jihad attacks in Britain.

“Sadiq Khan: London needs more migrants,” by Robert Dex, Evening Standard, June 3, 2023:

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan says the capital needs “more migrants” and wants the powers to let more people come to the city to work.

The politician said he had “respect” for people who believed the numbers of people coming to the UK should go down but said increased migration would boost London’s economy.

Speaking to Channel 4 News, he said: “I’ve no hesitation in saying we need more migrants in London”.

He added: “Park the social benefits to our city from migration, park the cultural benefits to our city from migration, I’ve spent this morning with some of our city’s leading business people who create jobs, wealth and prosperity.

“They’ve got a skills shortage and a labour shortage….”

For Big Business, there always will be, unless labour is for free.
