Modern reminder why Colonists left Britain

Post by bignflnut »

London Mayor Sadiq Khan said Wednesday he wants to ban cars from certain areas of Parliament Square in response to a suspected terror attack on Tuesday.

Three people were injured after police say a car collided with a number of cyclists and pedestrians before crashing into barriers that line the Houses of Parliament.

Khan told BBC radio that making certain areas only available to pedestrians would provide more safety to both citizens and buildings in the surrounding area. But he also said the city would need to ensure people “don’t lose one important thing about our democracy: People having an access to parliamentarians, people being able to lobby parliament and being able to come and visit parliament.”

“I think there would be lots of challenges if we would do the whole square. It is a thoroughfare for cars, vehicles and commercial deliveries going through London,” he said. “So it’s possible to have a designed solution … in keeping our buildings and people as safe as we can do. And also not losing what is so wonderful about our city that is a vibrant democracy, people can walk around safely.”
When something's goin wrong, you must ban it....
Go forward...move ahead..
Try to detect it, it's not too late...
To ban it...ban it good...

Khan is an idiot. He said that terror attacks are the new normal if you live in cities. He deserves to be voted out of office, but he probably won't be.

No, he needs to be at ground zero of the next islamist terror attack.

He can tell his bodyguards not to use their knives, nevermind their guns.

they have the police too busy arresting people for 'hate speech' on social media, to be actually arresting people for violent crimes.

They arrest a lot of people for defending themselves against violent crime.
