Housing minister Christopher Pincher wrote a letter to London’s Muslim mayor Sadiq Khan stating concerns about using taxpayer money to execute an agenda to tear down historic statues. Pincher pointed out “Labour has backed the destruction of British history and heritage with the party leader Sir Keir Starmer backing the removal of Sir Edward Colston’s statue by a mob of leftwing Black Lives Matter activists in Bristol and the Labour group on the Local Government Association wants Labour councils to pull down landmarks.”
Pincher’s complaints will fall on deaf ears. Khan has made no secret of his Islamic supremacist inclinations and disdain for British culture, playing the victim card just three months ago in saying that “being a Muslim ain’t easy” and that “it has never been harder to be a Muslim than the last four years.” Yet even before Khan’s election as mayor, his “dealings with Islamic extremists” raised doubts “over his suitability” to serve as London’s mayor. His other misdeeds include:
- Endorsing anti-Semites, defending 9/11 terrorists, and defending an al Qaeda member.
- Playing the victim card to the point of cautioning Westerners to play by the rules of Islamic supremacists, so as to not upset them so much that they join jihad groups.
- Calling deadly jihad attacks “part and parcel” of life in a big city.
- Calling progressive Muslims who want to live in unity with Westerners “uncle Toms.”
The UK and other countries are inviting in their own problems, as leaders continuously fail to stand up for their culture, their citizens and constitutional rights. Woke attempts “to besmirch British history linking properties to slavery and colonialism”have completely dismissed 1,400 years of the history of violent Islamic conquest that continues to this day, including black slavery, persecution of Christians to the point of genocide, persecution of other infidels and apostates, and a broad range of systemic abuses against minorities and women. Rather than protect free societies against a similar fate, the Western woke continue to dismantle and destroy their free societies from within.
“Govt goes to WAR on ‘woke’ Sadiq Khan’s bid to tear down London statues,” by David Maddox, Express, February 20, 2021:
THE government has gone to war with London Mayor Sadiq Khan over his plans to tear down historic statues in London as part of a woke agenda.
Housing minister Christopher Pincher has written to Mr Khan to express concern that he is using £250,000 of taxpayers money on a statues commission made up of 15 mainly leftwing activists at a time when he claims he is putting up Londoners’ council tax bills. He pointed out that Labour has backed the destruction of British history and heritage with the party leader Sir Keir Starmer backing the removal of Sir Edward Colston’s statue by a mob of leftwing Black Lives Matter activists in Bristol and the Labour group on the Local Government Association wants Labour councils to pull down landmarks.
Demanding that the controversial statues commission is “disbanded”, Mr Pincher said: “Putting some of London’s most important pieces of history into the hands of 15 activists, the majority of whom are not historians is a regrettable decision. On top of the enormous costs, some very troubling statements by your panelists, such as praising the “guerrilla style” removal of statues, have been made public. These will not command public confidence or support.
“As London Mayoral candidate Shaun Bailey has said, this commission will neither heal divisions nor promote inclusivity.”
The letter is part of a wider front on the government’s war on woke opening up this week with culture secretary Oliver Dowden set to have a showdown with heritage bodies on Tuesday over their attempts to besmirch British history linking properties to slavery and colonialism.
A source close to Mr Dowden told the Sunday Express that he will tell the bodies, which are part funded by the taxpayer, that they have a duty to “acclaim” British heritage not just “maintain and explain”…..

England’s fall is ongoing . I don’t see any way out if there is no political will .
Andrew Blackadder says
England is a PART of the United Kingdom, so it would be much more correct to say that the UK is falling and not just England.
mortimer says
Sadiq Khan is an example of the Red-Green Axis of Evil. Their program is to replace Europeans and create a Utopia whose future character can only be predicted as totalitarian.
BlackSabbath says
Ban islam in UK.
Jayell says
Absolutely! This ideology is completely incompatible with any modern civilised society so it should be nationally proscribed.
Michael J Casmer says
are they going to destroy the statue of Oliver cromwell? Hmmmm. Lets hope so
libertyORdeath says
Man, I missed that “uncle tom” crack. That statement alone tells you everything u need to know about Khan and his intentions to use his political power to push the Islamist agenda forward onto unsuspecting Brits. How much do u wanna bet that this guy was portrayed as a “moderate” muslim on the BBC? Wake up UK!!!
gregbeetham says
The mystery is how he could ever have been voted into office in the first place.
The future for the UK is stagnation if they allow Islam to infiltrate the political landscape.
BlackSabbath says
London is full of jihadis from Pakistan. These moslems are involved in all kinds of crimes such as drugs, prostitution, and human trafficking. They are the ones who voted for “jihad Khan”. The British Magazines such as The Economist are losing credibility because they are beginning to publish jihadi narrative. Native British are leaving downtown London and moving to suburbs or other remote islamic free zones. Future of London is not good.
Westman says
The “Ghettos Of London” future?
Jaydam says
He was almost certainly voted in as London Mayor because approximately 80% of the population of London are Muslim and 3rd world immigrants. And he played the “poor immigrant victim card” for all its was worth. Hence the likely reason he was voted in.
Its a sneaky tactic that is likely to be repeated across City’s in the west in future.
Then their numbers grow and grow, and before you know it, they start to take over everything.
Its similar to plagues, and history teaches us what happens when a plague becomes rampant.
gravenimage says
Actually, Jaydam, London is about 15% Muslim–still an appalling figure, of course:
https://www.the-sun.com/news/213718/muslim-population-of-england-smashes-three-million-mark-for-first-time-ever-figures-reveal/
But a full 44% of London is Black and other ethnic minorities.

And of the native Britons who do live there, all too many are Leftist tools.
Todd McDermott says
They might as well rename the U.K. to the United Islamic Kingdom and get it over with.
BlackSabbath says
That day is not too far. British need to ban islam or it will be game over. The islamists will rape them and eat their flesh.
owensgate says
Well, isn’t this what’s expected when you’re Empire makes third world conquered people “citizens of the Empire”, and said “citizens” move to the Capital of said Empire, and desire to re-image it into what they’re familiar with, their “old folkways and mores”? London may now be awash in rancid Pakistani’s, but it seems the UK brought it on themselves. As “Rev. Wright” would say, their “Chickens are coming home to roost”. How can this influx co-exist with so many statues of old White men and carved reminders of past victorious conquests? They can’t. So they must get rid of them. Appeasement is everything in the 21st Century.
owensgate says
“Your”, not “you’re” in the first sentence. Where is the “Edit” switch?

Yes, there are a lot of Pakistanis in Britain–but many of these invaders are from places where the British Empire had no presence at all.

Better tear down the mosques as well for islam’s stance on slavery

Sylvia Drummond says
Khan’s period of office has ended, there has not been an election for the next Mayor of London due to the pandemic. It seems that he is using this extra time to cause as much destruction to our capital city as possible.

Grimly true.
Walter Sieruk says
That Muslim mayor of London is the epitome of a stealth jihadist in the United Kingdom.
Likewise, that Muslim politician , Ilan Omar , is the essence of a stealth jihadist in the United States.
Walter Sieruk says
This creeping Islamic gradualism is insidious subversive and dangerous
Walter Sieruk says
Be the sly infiltrating and subversive the stealth jihadists, be he or she be in the United Kingdom or in the United States of America they all have the same Islamic agenda.
This otherwise called the Muslim method of Islamic Gradualism. In contrast to the way of the violent jihad or also called the militant jihad .This non-violent form of the jihad for Islam is a very sly, insidious, subtle and deceptive way of working for the advancement of Islam.
This Muslim scheme for achieving the goal of the Islamic agenda is as, many times, as subtly effective as it is demonically clever. Furthermore, this Islamic gradualism, in some ways, is very similar to the instruction printed in the book entitled THE ART OF WAR by Sun Tzu. Which reads “At first, then, exhibit the coyness of a maiden, until the enemy gives you an opening; afterwards emulate the rapidity of a running hare, and it will be too late for the enemy to opposes you”
James Lincoln says
Very pertinent Sun Tzu quote, Walter…
john smith says
Yes Walter, it certainly is demonically cleaver. Our problem is we are totally unorganised, while they have had 1400 years head start on us. We are destined to lose if we don’t get our act together.

Bristol is a city that boasts a rich cultural heritage. Where else would you be able to find not only a Palestine museum/cultural centre but also a Malcolm X community centre?
Ian Hill says
Remember Khan is first and foremost a muslim. He believes chaos and civil unrest benefits his belief system. –
It is an Islamic tactic used for centuries to make a country or region or city or village or district or borough unstable, where law and order break down and muslims can then rampage unopposed and march en-mass shouting “death to the infidels” with impunity.

Just the start of Islam taking over maybe the next step will be non Moslem houses of worship pay the tax
Any idea when that starts
Norman Gardner says
London has a substantial Muslim population and with left wing backing are a powerful and influential voting block. London has been taken over by the Muslim conquest and it`s heritage is now in danger. This is the result of Muslim hijrah, the migration of Muslims into the Western world. The fight is now on to protect heritage and liberty.

Some where there is 1979 video of Ruhollah Khomeini telling the viewers that, “one way or the other Islam will rule the world” or words to that effect. I can no longer find it. If anyone wants to have a crack at it be my guest. It would be great to find and put out there
