American fascists and so-called ‘alt righters’ don’t like Sadiq Khan after Donald Trump laid into him in the wake of the London Bridge attacks.

Or perhaps there’s something else they don’t like about him – we can’t quite imagine what that might be.

So it’s tiresomely predictable that a few disgusting specimens are trying to blame London’s mayor for the Grenfell tower fire – replying with offensive comments to Khan’s dignified Tweets in the wake of the disaster.

If Terrorism, building regulations, crime & bandit landlords aren't a mayors responsibility, then other than tying his shoelaces, what are? https://t.co/dwPeQvlA3q — Bo?Ivanov™️ (@Fashthetics) June 14, 2017

. @SadiqKhan if neither terrorism, crime rates, holding companies to regulations or safety measures are your responsibility, what is? — Bo?Ivanov™️ (@Fashthetics) June 14, 2017

There's a new kind of fucking stupid. Blaming @SadiqKhan for the fire. Why? Because he is Muslim? And most of these are Americans… https://t.co/HYT539qTSj — Aftab Singh Gujral (@aftabgujral) June 14, 2017

So @SadiqKhan is asking more serious questions about a fire than he did about the terrorist attacks. Really?? #GrenfellTower — The Saint (@PHOENIX1010) June 14, 2017

#SadiqKhan the Mayor of London must resign failing to protect the lives many ppl in London. .How Fire services failed to control d fire ? — Anil Khanna (@AkKhanna61) June 14, 2017

Other loathsome Nazi keyboard warriors seem to be somehow be suggesting that the fire – thought to be caused by an electrical fault – is somehow something to do with Islam.




Naturally, a few witless racist pigs are making jokes about the ‘fact’ that Sadiq Khan downplayed the threat of terrorism in the wake of the London attacks – which he didn’t.

Sorry, this video isn't available any more.

In the wake of the tragedy, mayor Sadiq Khan said many questions now need to be answered about tower blocks around the city.

‘There will be a great many questions over the coming days as to the cause of this tragedy and I want to reassure Londoners that we will get all the answers,’ Khan said.
