Agree but not millions all at once where English is rarely spoken. Plus they are encouraged to embrace their own culture not ours

And what is “our culture?”

Christianity is from The Middle East.

English derives from Latin and other European roots.

The Monarchy is part German, Russian, etc.

The jewels on The Monarch’s crown come from India and Burma.

The tradition of tea-drinking is imported from Asia.

Fish and chips? —potatoes intro’d from America, chips from Belgium.

Favorite dish—curry —from South Asia.

Some of the most celebrated British writers are from around the world.

British culture is great. It is rich, varied and wonderful—but only because it has learned, embraced, and absorbed (and occasionally, stolen) from all over.

Kindly pick a nonsense argument and stick with it.

Replace “principles” with “nonsense arguments”

I think the traction Warren got with this succinct response, put pressure on him:

Polls may show Biden more electable, but Warren is the right American President for our times.

Ok, honey, so I slept with your sister. Well, Alright, AND your best friend, too. At the same time. It was just once. Well, ok, twice. And then I killed ‘em. But, c’mon, baby, let’s get past that and look to the future. You have another sister, don’t you?

When hasn't London been home to waves of immigrants? It's ethnic mix is always changing.

This reminds me of a comedy skit:

If I ran this country, the first thing I'd do is get rid of all the bloody immigrants. Oh yeah, this country would be great again if we kicked out all the Polish. And the Indians, and the Chinese and the Africans. Yeah, and the Huguenots. Comin' over here from France in the late seventeenth century. And them Normans, coming over here in 1066, shooting their foreign arrows about. And before that it was the Vikings wasn't it? With their raping and their pillaging and their longboats and their stupid axes. and their open top bloody sandwiches- it's unnatural ain't it? And before that it was the Anglos, and the Saxons. What about the bleeding' Romans? Them Romans, yeah, probably built the straight roads so's they could get to the dole office faster. And all those weird guys in fur pelts claims they only came here across the land bridge to hunt mammoth. Not bloody likely, mate; hunt your own mammoth. And don't get me started on Homo Erectus; come over here from Africa, just because the land masses were linked up. I'm glad that tectonic shift sorted that out! Don't forget those early tetrapods, draggin' their fishy bodies outta the sea. Get back to the sea where you belong, you evolutionary bastards! Sling 'em out, sling 'em all out, I say. Then we'll just have the real Brits in the country. Anyway, I'm starving. Think I fancy a curry.

I agree with Donald, for speaking the truth about the slimy spivvy exlawyer hard left wing asian islamist demagogue buffoon.

“asian islamist”

Kudos for sneaking that in there between “slimy” and “buffoon”—tells us clearly what all the anti-Khan rhetoric is really all about.

Trump family visit with Queen is nothing like Reagan's

 

President Donald Trump is taking all of his adult children along for his state visit to the UK, according to New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, who tweeted the news. This means that Trump's children may be having dinner with Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace. The scene would be reminiscent of "The Beverly Hillbillies," where Granny, Jed, Jethro, and Elly Mae all piled into a dilapidated pick-up truck and moved into a mansion once they struck oil.

Such antics may have been amusing on television, but are hardly appropriate for a President of the United States. It's one thing for the President to want to share his extraordinary experiences with his family -- and he does that in spades every day by having his daughter and son-in-law on his senior staff -- but piling all the grown Trump kids onto the taxpayer-funded plane so they can have their picture taken with the Queen is simply bad form.

Dressed for a hoedown!

“Thanks, American and British taxpayers! And, btw, don’t you just HATE those moochers on food stamps?”

Notice also how The Queen is keeping her purse as far away as possible from the conman.

That was my immediate thought too. Although The Donald isn't exactly renowned for immaculately tailored suits one would have thought Moss Bros could have come up with something that was close to fitting.

I agree with Trump. Khan, IMO is a loser that has made a shambles of London while jetting off doing something not involved with running London.

Eg, on a recent visit to London, there was not a single public toilet that I could find in the most heavily touristed area of the city. Tourists were having to pay several pounds to use toilets in Starbucks or McDonalds etc. I used to live in London and there were several available in the same area then.

By your own account, there are more immigrants in London than “English”*

Everyone knows immigrants and muslims have magical bladders, so, with fewer high-peeing “English” why not save resources by having fewer toilets?

*just to set the facts straight, London is about 60% white, the vast, vast majority of whom are English/Scottish/welsh/northern irish/Irish.

7-10% are muslim

anecdotal sightings are not data.

Geez man, Trump "diminishes the prestige of the office" on a daily basis.  Here's a new one which is just too bizarre to be believed.  There's a US Navy ship named the USS John S. McCain homeported in Yokosuka, Japan.  While Trump was there a few days ago....

 

[The White House asked Navy officials to obscure the USS John S. McCain while President Trump was visiting Japan, Pentagon and White House officials said Wednesday night.]

[A senior White House official also confirmed that they did not want the destroyer with the McCain name seen in photographs.]

Of course, Trump denies he was aware, but since he lies constantly, I'd tend to believe the Wall Street Journal.
