Those of us trapped in Mayor Sadiq Khan’s London are now obedient, resigned. We expect a car journey of under a mile to take 40 minutes. We don’t hope for anything more. On a recent Sunday, around five o’clock, my son and I stuck fast in Dalston Lane, but as we settled down to wait in a mist of carbon monoxide, there was a commotion up ahead. Down the wrong side of the road, horn blaring, lights flashing, came a Mercedes G-wagon, matte black with that handy snorkel up the side, the favorite ride of north London’s gangsters. It was...

A savage satire taking aim at London Mayor Sadiq Khan. This parody track exposes the lies, failures, and clownish behaviour behind the man in charge of the capital. From ULEZ lies and virtue signalling to globalist fanboying, this song pulls no punches. Think political comedy meets musical mockery — if you’re tired of censorship, weak leadership, and London’s decline, this one’s for you. 🔥 LYRICS HIGHLIGHTS: “I’m Sadiq Khan, snivel-snivel-snivel-um, I’m a horrible man, snivel-snivel-um…”

Keir Starmer is facing demands from Labour MPs to reprimand Donald Trump’s administration after the US president falsely claimed London wanted to “go to sharia law” under its “terrible mayor”, Sadiq Khan. In an address to the UN general assembly, Trump said: “I look at London, where you have a terrible mayor, terrible, terrible mayor, and it’s been changed, it’s been so changed. Now they want to go to sharia law. But you are in a different country, you can’t do that.” The development will cause further discomfort in No 10 after Trump was last week honoured with an unprecedented...

The Tube no longer feels safe. Violent attacks on the platforms and carriages of the London Underground are soaring. So are theft, harassment and indecent exposure – and, most concerning of all, sexual assault. But instead of stepping up police patrols or increasing the presence of staff, Transport For London [TfL] is dumping the responsibility for safe travel on to the public, its passengers. Like countless others who ride the Tube every day, I have been physically assaulted while using the service – as I shall explain.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan, in a Tuesday opinion piece for The Guardian, called out President Trump for boosting “divisive, far-right politics” worldwide in recent years. “We must unite to take on the reactionary populists and nativists who are exploiting economic concerns, the atomisation of modern life and a growing distrust of political and media institutions – something we have seen in countries across Europe and, of course, in the US,” Khan said in his Guardian piece. “President Donald Trump and his coterie have perhaps done the most to fan the flames of divisive, far-right politics around the world in recent...

On Saturday, the beleaguered British people, tired of abuse from their own government, rose up in peaceful, patriotic protest on a never-before-seen scale. Something fundamental shifted in Britain on September 13, 2025. In the heart of London, a sea of flags unfurled and hundreds of thousands...no, millions of ordinary men and women marched together for an idea: That Britain must remain Britain, that its borders must be defended, and that its culture, heritage, and people deserve respect. Or else.Naturally, the mainstream press dutifully downplayed the numbers, claiming “just” 110,000 to 150,000 attended. But I was there, and I can assure...

More than 110,000 protesters rally in London against immigration, waving British, Israeli and US flags, chanting 'Send them home,' and holding signs honoring slain US activist; police deploy 1,000 officers to keep order. Ynet, news agencies|09.13.25 More than 100,000 demonstrators rallied Saturday in central London at a mass protest against immigration, organized under the banner “Unite the Kingdom.” The event was spearheaded by anti-Muslim campaigner and self-described Zionist Tommy Robinson.

A London march organized by far-right activist Tommy Robinson drew more than 110,000 people and became unruly on Saturday as a small group of his supporters clashed with police officers who were separating them from counterprotesters. Several officers were punched, kicked and struck by bottles tossed by people at the fringes of the "Unite the Kingdom" rally, Metropolitan Police said. Reinforcements with helmets and riot shields were deployed to support the 1,000-plus officers on duty. Twenty six police officers were injured — four who were seriously hurt, including broken teeth and a concussion, a possible broken nose and a spinal...

HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) has taken the decision to remove a new Banksy mural due to the building being listed and therefore legally protected. However, some feel that they are “silencing a work of art about silencing protest”... A new Banksy artwork that sprung up this week at the Royal Courts of Justice in London has been scrubbed off. As we reported this week, the mural by the ever-elusive street artist depicted a helpless protester lying on the ground holding a blood-spattered placard, while a judge loomed over him wielding a gavel. British police moved quickly to cover-up...

Spurgeon’s College in London will begin auctioning off memorabilia and artifacts from the storied institution, including several items that belonged to ‘The Prince of Preachers’ himself, such as his bookshelf and the trowel used by Spurgeon to lay the foundation of the original Pastors College. In June, Spurgeon’s College, the London-based Baptist institution founded in 1856 by Charles Haddon Spurgeon, announced in a press release that it has closed its doors for good, citing financial hardships and struggles. Founded when he was just 22 years old, the college trained nearly 900 pastors during the esteemed Baptist preacher’s lifetime, and almost...

The star's anti-knife crime advocacy led to him being considered as a candidateIdris Elba has shut down rumours that he is entering politics, saying he doesn’t have the “courage” for the profession. In February, Elba made the documentary Our Knife Crime Crisis, and has been vocal on ways to combat the problem. His advocacy led to a report in March that said the Labour Party was interested in him as a candidate for the Mayor Of London. Metro has now reported that Elba spoke about the rumours while promoting his new film, A House Of Dynamite, in which he...

Award-winning Irish comedy writer Graham Linehan said that he was arrested in London over posts on social media criticising transgenderism. The creator of celebrated comedy programmes, including Father Ted and The IT Crowd, said on Tuesday that upon recently arriving at Heathrow Airport, he was met by five “armed police officers” who he says arrested him over “three tweets”. “In a country where paedophiles escape sentencing, where knife crime is out of control, where women are assaulted and harassed every time they gather to speak, the state had mobilised five armed officers to arrest a comedy writer for this tweet...

Drudge is giving this banner treatment but I’m not sure why. Of course Al Qaeda is on the brink of a dirty bomb. Their comrades-in-arms in the Taliban are the jihadist proxy of one of the world’s biggest nuclear proliferators, aren’t they? If the filthbags in Pakistani intelligence want Al Qaeda to have nuclear material, they’ll find a way to smuggle some out of the state supply, I’m sure. In fact, according to a new piece in the NYT, Pakistan’s practically swimming in fissile material these days. Never mind the dirty bombs; how long before AQ or Lashkar e-Taiba or...

Revellers have been injured in a horrifying crush at a London music festival, leaving them screaming for help and in tears as they were trampled and stamped on. Fans were treated by paramedics after a group of apparently ticketless fans rushed into the entrance to the Originals Festival, part of the open-air South Facing Festival.

Failed Prosecutor John Durham’s report on the Hillary Clinton campaign plot to convince the American electorate and U.S. allies that Donald Trump was a stooge of Russia totally ignores the role that intelligence operatives from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Israel played in helping set the stage to provide the FBI with the pretext of predication for launching its now discredited Crossfire Hurricane investigation of the Trump Campaign. Let me take you back to an article I wrote in May 2019. John Durham and his team failed to address any of the issues and leads I raised:...

Dissident Iranian journalist Niyak Ghorbani was assaulted during a march calling for the release of the Israeli hostages being held by Hamas in London on Sunday. The assailant threw the contents of a bottle at him, charged at him, and was seen grabbing Ghorbani around the neck, in a moment captured by photographers. [....] "The only thing I could think to do was to grip his collar tightly so he couldn’t get away. As my vision darkened and I was on the verge of blacking out, his female companion, seeing that I would not let go, began clawing at my...

There is something of a crime epidemic in London. I state this in conditional terms because many of the offences are what can be called “low level” crimes which do not generally involve personal injury, grave damage to property or danger to life. But that is not to say that they are not serious in their effect: on the contrary, they are perceived as signs of a breakdown of civil authority which risks undermining the public’s confidence in justice and stable government. When little crimes are permitted to proliferate unchecked, it is actually much more generally demoralising than the occasional...
