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. 

What's the criteria for a 'British City'. IMO London meets the criteria as the centre for Britishness, centre for HMG, Royal Family, cathedrals, internationally recognised centres of excellence for museums, galleries, music etc etc, all demonstrating the traditions of London.

He's not so hot on sorting out the acid attacks or knife crime in our capital either, both of which are have strong racial overtones that he ignores.

Sorting out knife attacks and acid attacks are the responsibility of police and other agencies.

He has often spoken out against radicals, and let us remember that these attacks are carried out by a minority of Muslims. Some also forget about the attacks carried out by white supremacists, equally as disgusting.

Gosh I am astounded at the outright racism expressed against the Mr Khan, and as for the religious slurs, it is very scary in the 21st century.

 

I agree. But I have no sympathies remaining to offer you, as all my sympathies have gone to the long-suffering moderators who have to slog through—and remove—much worse than what we see here.

[mtls2005]

Not sure what name-calling accomplishes, other than to display one's own inadequacies?

 

"Stone-Cold" really only goes with Steve Austin, or killer. Loser doesn't really make sense.

 

But this seems to be the hallmark of the president and his staff.

 

He's said to denigrate jared by calling him a "girl", to others obviously.

Yes a "minority" of muslims,all over the world,as opposed to a few attacks by other idiots.

You are posting lies, you know you are doing so. Why?

 

What Khan actually said was: “Part and parcel of living in a great global city is you’ve got to be prepared for these things, you’ve got to be vigilant, you’ve got to support the police doing an incredibly hard job. We must never accept terrorists being successful, we must never accept that terrorists can destroy our life or destroy the way we lead our lives.”

I'm curious about the potus use of the phrase stone cold. It occurred to me that must be dated, it isn't very widely used, and frankly I don't even know what it means. Is it mafia slang? Do Brits know what it means? So I had to look it up. So notice the Shakespeare reference. Now back to the meaning, bereft of any emotion / lack of concern. Forgetting the insult "loser" which is the favorite insult of the potus because it clearly is what he fears most for himself, do Londoners agree their mayor is bereft of emotion / has a lack of concern?

Sadly London is a shadow of its former glory, run by liberalite snowflakes who have no respect for what the USA did for the UK, at the time when they were really on their knees with the Germans. 

 

I hope this midget of a Major is booted-out, along with his sidekick Marxist Corbyn, who between them are damaging the UK.

Using your definition of an immigrant; Trump is an immigrant. All his grandparents were immigrants to the USA, as was his mother. 

 

Taking your argument to it's logical conclusion, all Americans who cannot trace their ancestry back to pre-Columbian times are immigrants!

As a UK resident, I can assure you that your conclusion and the assumptions upon which it is based are completely incorrect.

 

Unless you can prove me wrong by providing verifiable data showing the percentage of white British citizens who do not recognise London as a British citizen.

 

I've limited my request to white British because the alt right posters here wouldn't accept the views of black, Asian etc. British.

Interesting article - I particularly liked the following ????:-

 

"Most still want U.S. as top global power"/"The poll also finds that international publics express significant concerns about America’s role in world affairs. Large majorities say the U.S. doesn’t take into account the interests of countries like theirs when making foreign policy decisions."

 

Contradictory much?

 

"And despite the unease many feel about the U.S. at the moment, the idea of a U.S.-led world order is still attractive to most. When asked which would be better for the world, having China or the U.S. as the top global power, people in nearly every country tend to select the U.S., and this is particularly common among some of China’s Asia-Pacific neighbors, such as Japan, the Philippines, South Korea and Australia"

 

Shocking..... ????

 

"These are among the major findings from a new Pew Research Center survey conducted among 26,112 respondents in 25 countries from May 20 to Aug. 12, 2018."

 

I gave up reading at this point.....

 

I wouldn't mind, but I can't stand trump either!  Even so, propaganda pieces like this still seriously annoy me.

 

Edit - Not that it matters, as he was elected by the citizens of the US, and they will decide whether or not he is re-elected.

There's no evidence that Muslim immigrants are responsible for most of London's knife attacks

Quote

We could find no data showing that Muslim immigrants are responsible for most knife attacks in London. A spokesman for the city’s police service denied that the claim was true, and academics we reached out to concurred. The burden of proof is on the Facebook post, and discovering no evidence to corroborate its claim, we rate this statement False.

 

Muslims and other non-whites are often the victims of random attacks by whites; it just rarely get's reported outside the local news.

 

Just one example:'If this was a white person .. It'd be all over the news': Muslim acid attack victim speaks out.

 

In that case the perpetrator, John Tomin, was caught. Despite his Facebook page containing links to the far right and other such evidence, at his trial it was ruled that he was mentally unstable so this was not judged to be a racially motivated crime.

At the end of the day, Khan started the insult throwing - and it's sad that trump decided to respond in kind.

You may not like it's source, but The Guardian's quote of Khan's remark: "Part and parcel of living in a great global city is you’ve got to be prepared for these things, you’ve got to be vigilant, you’ve got to support the police doing an incredibly hard job. We must never accept terrorists being successful, we must never accept that terrorists can destroy our life or destroy the way we lead our lives.” is 100% accurate.

 

He was asked on the London Assembly's website at the time to clarify his remark: What did you mean by your recent statement that terror attacks are "part and parcel of living in a big city" and how did you come to this conclusion?

I agree to a certain extent.

 

A poster (can't be bothered to go back and look for the actual post, for which I apologise) said that white crimes against blacks aren't remembered.  I certainly remember the murder of Stephen Lawrence by a group of white thugs, albeit possibly because I was burgled a few days later and the police that attended made their racism extremely clear..... ☹️

 

A few years later, my white next door neighbour was beaten up by a gang of white thugs 'cos he had long hair and didn't fit into their definition of 'acceptable people'. ☹️

In London, the elected Mayor – Sadiq Khan, is the equivalent of the Police and Crime Commissioner and isresponsible for the totality of policing in the capital https://www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/mayors-office-policing-and-crime-mopac/about-mayors-office-policing-and-crime-mopac/mayor-mopac

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).
