Top Three Ways London’s Sadiq Khan is a better Leader than Donald Trump
Sadiq Khan as mayor of London is the opposite of Trump in every way. Trump was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Khan is a second-generation emigrant whose father drove a bus.

Hundreds of thousands of Britons took to the streets to protest Trump’s visit on Friday, as he was ridiculed with a baby Trump blimp. The vast majority of Britons deeply dislike the American president, our homegrown weird hybrid of Mussolini and the scheming trickster Newman from Seinfeld. Trump’s visit was marked by a peculiarly vicious […]

Britain may join US strikes against Syria if chemical weapon use proven
Middle East Monitor | – – UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson told BBC radio “If we know that it has happened, and we can demonstrate it, and if there is a proposal for action where the UK could be useful then I think we should seriously consider it.” Britain would consider joining US military strikes […]
In Blow for British White Nationalists, Their Ancestor was Black
TeleSur | – – The connection often made between Britishness and whiteness was “not an immutable truth,” said Yoan Diekmann, a computational biologist. Cutting-edge DNA analysis of the oldest complete skeleton found in Britain has revealed that the first modern humans living on the territory had “dark to black skin.” Tom Booth, an archaeologist at […]
