Sadiq Khan was accused of being unfit to become London's next mayor after footage emerged of him describing moderate Muslims of being "Uncle Toms".

Labour is under fresh pressure over its handling of racism and anti-Semitism in the party amid revelations its London mayoral candidate used a racial slur, and criticism from the Chief Rabbi.

This Khan fellow, who is the favorite to be the next mayor of London, has criticized moderate Muslims for being weak.

This seems to imply that Khan is not a moderate Muslim, but a radical Muslim. Now, I'm not the brightest crayon in the box, so if I'm wrong here someone help me out.

There are very few Englishmen left in London, IME. Near everybody is from someplace else. It’s only a matter of time before these turd worlders elect one of their own.

Fast...although I will argue that it’s worse. It could go Full Londinistan. St. Paul’s church will be the first to go. They’ll either flatten it or turn it into a mosque.

I wonder what instructions a Mayor Khan would give to London's anti-terrorist police squad. In the US, a mayor has a lot of control over his city's police force. Is that also true in London?

Blessedly, no. Heads up commissions that deal with policy, but no direct executive functions.

More than ceremonial, but mostly a bully pulpit.

The position has only been in existence for ~16 years now,

Ha! I was born in Minneapolis and lived for a year as a kid in Riverside Plaza in the 1970’s. That area is Little Mogadishu now.

London Mayors have been white pro-islam radicals and now they are “progressing” to the real McCoy.

I wasn’t aware that the “Uncle Tom” racial epithet had any meaning east of the Atlantic.

“London Mayors have been white pro-islam radicals”

There have been only 2 Mayors of London, 1 Labour and 1 Conservative, since the position was created.
