London Falling
7th May 2016
Raheem Kassam wants out.
When I was growing up, I couldn’t figure out why anyone would want to live anywhere but London. Dr. Samuel Johnson’s quote was branded on fashion accessories, I recall: “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.”
Well, there’s an argument to be made about me being tired of modern life, certainly. But either way, Dr. Johnson’s quote simply doesn’t hold true anymore.
Today, London elects its first, demonstrably Islamist-sympathetic Mayor.
