K-Group Extremists Get A Free Run In The UK

The London Metropolitan Police have been infiltrated by K-Group adherents and their Pakistani supporters, at a rapid pace coincidentally since Sadiq Khan became Mayor of London in 2016.

What may well have turned out to be an attack on the life of External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar outside the premises of the Royal Institute of International Affairs was met by the usual course of token action by the London Metropolitan Police, which is under the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. Mayor Khan, who several political watchers in the UK believe may be the frontrunner among those seeking to move into 10 Downing Street, who are biding their time waiting for UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to make a misstep on a scale that leads to his exit from 10 Downing Street.

Under the leadership of Tony Blair, the Labour Party eclipsed its Conservative opponents until Blair was pushed into resigning by his impatient challenger, Gordon Brown. In contrast to Blair, Brown was an electoral disaster, losing the national polls to the Conservatives. History may repeat itself in the case of Starmer and Sadiq Khan, especially now that the UK PM has distanced himself from the policy of Tony Blair, who invariably sided with the US in international affairs. It took a while for the 2003 defeat of Saddam Hussein in Iraq to develop into a disaster, and three years on, the war presently being fought by Ukraine against Russia is similarly proving to be a disaster for several European countries, including Britain.
