The mayor of the ever increasingly violent city of London is now seeking a ban on cars in certain areas after a “car attack.” Since banning guns and regulating knives hasn’t worked, Sadiq Khan said he’s likely to ban cars to prevent future terrorist attacks.
Violence in London continues to spike regardless of the weapons used by those committing acts of aggression. But since a gun ban and severe knife regulations have failed to stop violence, Khan wants certain areas to be “car free zones” in response to an alleged terror attack committed with a car. According to Politico, Khan says his proposed car ban would help keep people and buildings safe after car drives into cyclists and pedestrians.
Kahn’s proposal comes after three people were injured when police say a car collided with a number of cyclists and pedestrians before crashing into barriers that line the Houses of Parliament. Police have arrested a 29-year-old British citizen originally from Sudan, identified as Salih Khater by British media outlets, on suspicion of committing the attack. Police claim that the alleged terrorist drove his Ford Fiesta from Birmingham to London late on Monday night. Just before the attack, police say he had been driving around the area of Westminster and Whitehall for about an hour and a half before driving into pedestrians and cyclists.
Khan told BBC radio that making certain areas only available to pedestrians would provide more safety to both citizens and buildings in the surrounding area. But he also said the city would need to ensure people “don’t lose one important thing about our democracy: People having an access to parliamentarians, people being able to lobby parliament and being able to come and visit parliament.” Kahn added, “I think there would be lots of challenges if we would do the whole square. It is a thoroughfare for cars, vehicles and commercial deliveries going through London,” he said. “So it’s possible to have a designed solution … in keeping our buildings and people as safe as we can do. And also not losing what is so wonderful about our city that is a vibrant democracy, people can walk around safely.”
Well, since all the other laws aimed at preventing violence have failed, why not just keep banning things? Pretty soon, everything will be illegal in the UK and the people will wonder when they actually became slaves to the government.
“We enter parliament in order to supply ourselves, in the arsenal of democracy, with its own weapons. If democracy is so stupid as to give us free tickets and salaries for this bear’s work, that is its affair. We do not come as friends, nor even as neutrals. We come as enemies. As the wolf bursts into the flock, so we come.” –Joseph Goebbels
Ban people from that pathetic moozlum - run city.
Before long there won't be anything left but Sharia Law and no way for the citizens to protect themselves.
Can't help but think Kahn is nothing more than an Islamic wolf in British sheep's clothing.
Ain't diversity and multiculturalism grand?
This is the first step to the dreaded CarBan Tax.
Have they began regulating the sale, production or possession of certain kinds of acid? There have been many Londoners splashed in the face with caustic chemicals, many permanently scarred. The acid throwers usually just ride off on their mopeds into the sunset without ever being caught or prosecuted.
There is never any good reason to splash someone with acid, but the few perpetrators who have been caught confess to throwing for stupid reasons; the girl wouldn’t give him her phone number, or the jogger would not give me money when I asked for it. Or the old standby; “She was improperly uncovered, in defiance to Allah!”
“I have called this meeting to see what items we should ban to prevent Moslems from using them to kill people in London.”
“Twinkies!”
“I told you not to call me that!”
“No, I mean Twinkies. The golden cake filled with cream.”
“Oh. How are those dangerous?”
“The plastic wrap can be used like a knife. Here, let me demonstrate.”
Crinkle crinkle
Slash slash
“That didn’t hurt.”
“That’s only because I went easy on you. If I was a really angry Moslem, you’d be screaming and calling for the police.”
“Because you have a handful of plastic wrap?”
“Yes, but this is special Assault Plastic Wrap.”
“Dad was right. I should have been a driving instructor.”
Kahn wants to bring in Camels instead of cars.
This insanity is what happens when liberals are in charge.
Satire?
Please?
That’s what the crypto-liberals say when you try to crack down on
all the nuts fruits and flakes including Islamokooks
Ban yourself, and all the other pig-dog murder muzzies.
I believe he banned Thinking...let’s ban Terrorists, Mayor Kook, er I meant Khan...
Ding, Ding, Ding!
We have a winner.....
hmmmmm.....
With all these islamic terrorist attacks, if we could isolate just one attribute that was causing all these islamic terrorist attacks.
I don’t think we’ll ever find that one common thread to all these islamic terrorist attacks.
They COULD have a Muslim ban. That way you could safely own knives, guns, and cars (and bats, picks, shovels, wombats, bowling pins or anything else a Muslim could use to kill innocent people in London).
That would be wrong though.
Normals would support a ban on that 7th century totalitarian satanic death cult.
dint the muslime goathumper say it's just the nature of city life?
