    When I fired off a tweet about my day trip to London last
    week, I didn’t expect it to be read by 12 million people
    around the world.

    But that’s exactly what happened when I shared a few
    observations about our once-great capital under Labour
    Mayor Sadiq Khan. ‘All these things happened to me in
    London today,’ I wrote. ‘I paid nearly £30 for a train
    ticket to take me into London from a town just 30 miles
    away – on a Saturday.

    'The first person I sat next to decided to have a FaceTime
    conversation with his friend on speakerphone, so we all
    had to listen to it.

    ‘The train was late by 40 minutes due to unexplained
    “signalling issues”. It was also filthy. I paid nearly £8
    for a pint. I offered a woman my seat on the Tube without
    realising she was with a man – who intervened and said:
    “No man.” He was not from the UK. I think he took my
    gesture as an insult.

    ‘I was asked for money by homeless people three times
    in one day.

    ‘I noticed that several people who are paid to give
    information to taxpayers and tourists over the Tannoy
    on the Tube cannot speak English properly.

    ‘A cabbie told me: “London is dead most nights.” Restaurants
    are struggling and hideously overpriced. I was constantly
    aware I should not get my phone out on the street – as more
    than 70,000 were stolen last year. I also discovered there
    were 90,000 shoplifting offences in London last year, up
    54 per cent.’

    Behind all these observations lies a deeper point that
    has gradually become unavoidable. London is over.
    It’s so over.

    . . .

    And that's not even counting the murder sprees.

    So much for Rule Britannia ...

    But they kept electing the whining bleeding-heart
    "free money" so-called 'leaders' - so they get
    exactly what they deserve.

    Let Vlad have it.

    Looks like New York City is heading the same way.

    this all sucked the first time ,
    and now you've done it again


    I'll suck every time ... but that doesn't make
    anything better for the UK. Badly managed, nations
    and even whole civilizations can unravel. The UK
    keeps showing more signs that it's at the point
    of dissolution. Economic, structural, cultural -
    it's unwinding and there are no signs that the
    process can be reversed.
