Sadiq Khan has revisited one of his favourite gripes this week - the quest to drag Britain back into the European Union. Interviewed by a reporter from Italian left-wing rag
La Repubblica, Khan claimed that he witnessed 'every day' the harms done to London and Londoners 'economically, socially and culturally'. Cultural harm? What on earth is he talking about?
Khan goes on to make a dubious and wholly unproven claim about Brexit having cost the UK economy 'ten per cent', which has grown from previous estimates ranging from 5-8 per cent. At no point during the interview does he mention the Covid-19 shitshow, which happened to almost coincide with Britain's exit from the EU (the first lockdown came just seven weeks later). Has there ever been a bigger act of self harm to Britain's economy than the decision to trash our own economy, creating a cost of lockdown crisis that is still making Brits poorer today?
Where the EU is concerned, Khan does not pull any punches. He wants us back in the customs union and single market 'this Parliament' and suggests that Labour should fight the next election on full EU membership, which by having rejoined its main institutions we will have already effectively rejoined prior to that election.
Khan somehow goes on to bring President Trump into the equation (he just can't help himself). However, the first thing he mentions - tariffs - actually benefits the UK being independent of the EU. When Trump imposed his tariffs last year, he gave Britain a favourable baseline of ten per cent, as opposed to the 15 per cent he dished out to the EU. Whereas the EU faced 50 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminium, Britain negotiated a significantly reduced figure of 25 per cent - the lowest in the world. If we had been a fully fledged EU member state, as Khan desperately wants, we would have been lumbered with those eminently more costly EU tariffs.
He does make some valid points about the war on Iran, not least its exacerbation of an already painful cost of living for average Brits.

Note his repeated reference to 'Londoners' leaving the city due to Brexit, which 'breaks his heart'. He emphasises the word 'Londoners', but then states in the next breath that they are actually EU nationals. So, not Londoners then! Where are they going Sadiq? That's right, they're going home to mainland Europe, from whence they came. This ties into Khan's enthusiasm for abolishing borders and nations, by making anyone and everyone the same. If anyone can be a 'Londoner', simply by sailing into the Channel or driving under it and then rocking up in our nation's capital, then Londoners have no identity. The same can be said for Britons and attempts to name anyone and everyone English or Scots or Welsh, despite the fact our native peoples are precisely that - distinct ethnic European groups that are native to these islands.
People that have no identity, culture or history are easier to placate and enslave into the globalist agenda driven by people like Khan.
