I saw how it had changed since the mid 1980s myself. I didn't recognize London from what it was on my last visit 5 years ago. NYC will become a shell of its former self if Mandani is elected.
I stayed in South Kensington for 3 months in the late 1980’s and loved it there. Went back with my boyfriend on a trip in 2013. Wouldn’t go back there now, the charm is gone.
The UK is in deep self imposed shit that’s simply incomprehensible from the other side of the pond. I do understand that the exact same view of the US is probably felt by those overseas. What I simply don’t understand is the lack of freedom of speech, the kowtowing to Muslim immigrants and especially the seeming tolerance of the rape of your daughters. What the fuck has happened to the country of Shakespeare and Churchill? When will you show some pride in your long heritage?
Every city under the deluge of a tidal wave of muslims is going to vanish into a 3rd-world hell hole. The grooming gangs were all Pakis. They are still at large. There are sharia patrols.
As to Mamdani, I understand that white liberals were the deciding vote. Young people have forgotten or never knew the insanity of socialism. On the other hand, capitalism is doing no good things for the Gen Z either.
Agreed! Im repelled by most of his solutions but at least he’s addressing the real issues for his constituents unlike anyone of the establishment democrats are. Our current form of capitalism is slowly killing us all but unfortunately the elites want fewer of us anyway so it’s a win/win for the establishment.
Thanks for this :( And yes NYC probably unfortunately. Khan is at least an 'adult'. Truth is Mamdani's just one of the many AOC mini-clones who popped out. But—he's already won.
Sorry sir, but you are mistaken, Kahn may be the correct age to claim adulthood but his behaviour is that of an overindulged child. Look at his pathetic behaviour when President Trump visited the first time as POTUS. Whether you like Trump or not, Kahn’s behaviour was and is embarrassing and not worthy of the position of Mayor of London.
Nice article. Thanks for sharing. Coming from an Italian-Jewish background (my Jewish auntie spoke better Italian than the pope), I remember NYC of the early 1950s. You can no longer walk in the old neighborhood without a police escort. Can't imagine how Mamdani could make the city any more dangerous.
I’m a native New Yorker also 1st generation born to a mother who’s family fled east European persecution at the turn of the century. I was raised by parents who had a great deal of respect and gratitude to be able to live in America and to practice our Jewish faith. They experienced some antisemitism however the majority of people who were living and working in NYC were mostly interested in living a good life. NYC was called the Melting Pot. Assimilation was considered showing respect for others. My parents wanted me to marry inside of our faith. It wasn’t a badge to be worn. Being Jewish was about love of g-d and living life with dignity , integrity, honesty and compassion for others.
The world wide shift is extremely difficult to comprehend. I’ve lived half of my life outside of the USA. I’ve raised my 3 sons mostly in Hong Kong and Taiwan. They were privileged to attend Universities in the United States.
I was involved in starting a Jewish Day School in HK as well as another school for children with special needs to be taught in English in HK.
We were an accepted part of society.
By choice, after having travelled most of the world, having experienced living in several different cultures and countries we have all chosen to live our lives in Israel.
When making this decision I stated that I was grateful that it was by choice.
I haven’t had the opportunity to visit NY in about 6 years and I am seriously concerned that I will also be heartbroken when I visit what I have always considered my home.
Question re Saddiq Khan, were there no other or too many other candidates running against him? Re NY, why have there been no decent mayors since Bloomberg? With a vote split among poor candidates, Mandami is also likely to win.
Kahn wins because of the fraud of the postal voting, particularly from the Bangladeshi’s, and the Muslim block vote where the Imams in the literally hundreds of mosques infecting London tell the congregation who to vote for and the head of the household will enforce it. Simple but effective.
I guarantee you, Mamdami will turn NYC into a dystopian hellhole in front of your eyes. What the author doesn’t mention is knife crime and murder is higher than NY, phone snatching gangs are rampant (never get you phone out in a public place in London - anywhere), and Kahn sits in his office and is ferried around in his bulletproof limousine without a care in the world. I used to live in Ealing, a beautiful part of West London. Not anymore, because wherever the Muslims go they take what is there and wreck it beyond all recognition.
All my colleagues are moving out of London, I moved to Sussex on the South Coast (and no, Meghan has never been there) and yes it’s true that the white British are a minority in London and over 50% of subsidised accommodation in London is taken by foreigners.
It’s very sad London was also very interesting when I lived there part time I’d stay there three months on three months off and I loved it and I was in the 70s. I missed it but not how it is today.
You'd better believe New York City is next. Go to Hamtramck, Michigan to see what happens to a small, rural city that is taken over by recent Muslim immigrants and their Sharia Law.
Yes, they are free to practice their religion. My point is that they are inflicting the ardhan on everybody, five times a day, and they have insisted on changing the culture of Hamtramck, via city council resolution, to accommodate an act required by Sharia. Frankly, it would be no different if the Mormon church took control of the city council in Hamtramck put out a call to their congregation via loudspeakers five times a day. If that were to happen, I'd be saying the same thing, that they've co-opted the public space to accommodate their Mormon requirement. It's a slippery slope. What do you think the next Sharia thing will be that the Muslim city council will exert upon the general population?
Not so hyperbole -- their majority Muslim city government has banned the Rainbow Pride Flag from public buildings and instituted the daily adhan broadcasts. There will be more accommodations for Sharia.
The adhan is most certainly Sharia. Utah has always had a white majority state legislature and yes, Mormon culture/law has dominated Utah since statehood, though not as restrictive now as it was a few decades ago. The difference being that Mormons pretty much founded the state 150 years ago, whereas, Muslims are recent immigrants in Hamtramck and have taken over the city's government.

A clarion call. I just hope voters in Manhattan are reading this and taking it to heart. Thank you, Trish, for this excellent essay!
Thanks for your honest sharing, it is alarming but people need to know.

The man is a disgrace.
Terrifying.

My wife and I visited London in May of 24. I felt like I was in Pakistan
Much of Europe feels compelled to commit suicide. I feel sorry for the citizens.
