It’s going to be interesting when, come winter, perhaps 50,000 illegal immigrants / asylum seekers are being accommodated, heated and fed at taxpayer expense while many of those taxpayers cannot afford their rent, grocery and energy bills. Epic policy failure.

“The strength of London is its diversity” is a highly contestable (and contested) political point. British police now make such points without blinking, and people no longer notice it - that shows how deep the rot now goes.
Their job is to enforce the law, not an ideology.
The greatest strength of London is its diversity, says Asst Commissioner Louise Rolfe today.
It is not. It is increasingly obvious that it is not. This mantra now has an Orwellian ring. Endless repetition does not make it true.
