tifino Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Trump operates at the Federal level ; whereas the mayor is but a lowly commoner, working at the menial Local Gov't level - responsible only to public toilets and garbage collections... Any comment worthy from the mayor, well he can do that with his pencil at the next Federal Elections. .. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the hospitals that I worked in, English staff were almost non existent. I can't see a problem in it. Those immigrants enjoyed a better and qualified education, not based on school books which glorify the time of Empire, which is still there in the heads of Brits. That is why you think these immigrants are not on the same level as you. The time of looking upon them as superior race is over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 7by7 Posted June 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2019 4 hours ago, Baerboxer said: Don't remember Khan speaking out against any money being wasted on President Xi; or Becrow, or Corbyn. They are happy to welcome and fawn over a communist dictator who presides over a totalitarian oppressive regime. Because they dream that one day they might do the same! 3 hours ago, Ulic said: I may agree with SK but after his comments comparing Trump to a fascist dictator amongst other things, he would have to have expected push back. While I may think DT is unworthy of a State visit I do think he is more worthy than Chinese President Xi Jinping who got the full treatment including the carriage ride. Did Sadiq Kahn make the same type of comments about Xi Jinping? After all, he has a million plus Muslims in re-education camps and China's human rights record is right at the very bottom on the world list. Never mind China's pollution/ co2 emissions production and trade practices. President Xi's visit was in 2015. As far as I can ascertain the then Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, made no criticisms of him nor his visit. Who is Becrow? Do you mean John Bercow, the Speaker of the House of Commons? Like Jeremy Corbyn, he is a British citizen and has every right to live in the UK! But tell us, Baerboxer, what money has been wasted on them; other than the usual money wasted on any MP? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 7by7 Posted June 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) 5 hours ago, bendejo said: 5 hours ago, Alan Michael said: This creepy little Pakistani Sadiq Jihadi Khan, who the commie Labour party promoted to become the Londonistan mayor so they could get more votes from the huge Muslim London majority. His sister and brother in law is a self confessed radicalized ISIS supporters. So where do Khan's sympathies lie? So, is he a jihadi or a communist? Actually, neither. Khan is on the centre right of the Labour party, so certainly not a Communist; more a Social Democrat. According to the 2011 census, the two largest religions in London are Christian (48.4%) and none (20.7%). Islam is third at 12.4%. If @Alan Michael thinks 12.4% is a huge majority, his maths skills are sadly lacking! Khan's brother-in-law, Makbool Javaid, did speak at various London rallies on behalf of extremist groups in the 1990s. I can find no evidence that his wife, Khan's sister, supported him or those organisations. None of those organisations were ISIS, which didn't exist at the time. Javaid and Khan have not spoken to each other for over 10 years, and Jaivid and Khan's sister divorced in 2011. BTW, Khan was born in Tooting. Last time I looked Tooting was in South West London, not Pakistan. @Alan Michael, if you hate Khan because his parents were immigrants, you must also hate Trump for the same reason; his father was born in the USA, but all four of his grandparents and his mother were immigrants!

Didn't you get the impression he kinda condoned that?

The census proves you wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_groups_in_London#Foreign-born_population Sure plenty of foreigners working in NHS, but facts concerning the number of foreigners as opposed to hyperbole needs to be highlighted... In total, around 139,000 of the 1.2 million NHS employees are foreign nationals – equating to one in eight (12.5 per cent). https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/nhs-foreign-doctors-how-many-reliant-immigration-theresa-may-brexit-explained-visa-a8383306.html Your other comments can also be easily refuted - enough of the fake news. It all depends on how you quantify as an immigrant. From your own reference, only 44.9% of London’s population is white. However they in turn, if you go back generations,were also immigrants. The problem stems from the fact that, those that people think of as immigrants, have only consisted of a large % of the whole population over the last 50-60 years. And maybe that’s the problem, if there had been a trickle of immigration over the years, they may have integrated and therefore been accepted to a greater degree than is the case now. As it is, over these last 50-60 there has been a deluge of immigrants, so that now London is not recognised by many as a British City.
