Police across Britain are ever vigilant when it comes to preventing an “Islamophobic” backlash after terror attacks. Officers in Grimsby rushed to a mosque, where it was reported a suspect was threatening to stab someone. They arrested a homeless man, Jake Jones, and charged him with possessing an offensive weapon. The charge, which was subsequently dropped when it came to court this week, read: “At Grimsby in North East Lincolnshire, without lawful authority or reasonable excuse, you had with you in a public place, namely Legsby Avenue, an offensive weapon, namely a sharply pointed pencil.” Deputy district judge Philip Houlden said that the whole purpose of having a pencil was “surely that it should actually have a sharp point” so that it could be used properly. This is another one of those stories I don’t know whether to pencil in under Mind How You Go or You Couldn’t Make It Up. At least Trump would stop a Hamas hate mob marching the streets: As Sadiq Khan threatens to boycott his state visit, RICHARD LITTLEJOHN says it’s a pity the London Mayor isn’t so fussy over the company he keeps What especially infuriates Trump’s many sworn enemies and high-minded critics is that most of the time he’s absolutely right. In the wake of Saturday’s terror attack at London Bridge, Trump tweeted: ‘At least seven dead and 48 wounded . . . and Mayor of London says there’s no reason to be alarmed.’ Cue bien-pensant outrage and a hissy fit from the mayor himself, Sadiq Khan, demanding that Trump’s proposed state visit to Britain should be cancelled, on the grounds that the President had insulted all Londoners. No he hadn’t. He’d insulted Sadiq Khan, which is not the same thing at all. Those of you who read my column on Monday will be aware that I said almost exactly the same thing about Khan. Perhaps the mayor will retaliate by banning me from paying another state visit to Smith & Wollensky, the magnificent American steakhouse off the Strand. For anyone who missed it, I monstered Khan for claiming that: ‘London is the safest city in the world, even while the body count was rising. With complacency like that, what chance have we got?’ Trump wasn’t insulting London, he was quite rightly criticising the typical knee-jerk ‘nothing to see here’ reaction of politicians unwilling to confront the clear and present danger we face from the nihilistic Islamist death cult in our midst. No reason to be alarmed? This was the second murderous terrorist attack in London in a matter of weeks, coming as it did in the wake of the Manchester massacre. No reason to be alarmed? Then why are the barricades going up all over London and the streets flooded with armed policemen? If there was any insulting going on, it was Saddo Khan insulting our intelligence. (The woman on the left is the chief of the Metropolitan Police while the figure on the right is the new Muslim Mayor of London. What could possibly go wrong?) Saddo Khan has announced that if the President’s visit goes ahead, he will boycott the official state banquet. Pathetic After mouthing the usual platitudes and pieties, it was back to parochial political business as usual for the mayor, who attempted to shift responsibility for the London Bridge atrocity on to ‘Tory cuts’ to police budgets. Trump’s tweet gave the mayor another convenient excuse to change the subject, to summon up a wave of faux fury against one of the Left’s favourite bogeymen. ‘You’re not welcome in my city, Mr President,’ parroted one ‘respected’ commentator yesterday, repeating the fiction that Trump had insulted all Londoners. This from a former Moscow stooge who was an active Communist throughout the time the Soviet Union had hundreds of nuclear missiles pointed at Britain and was equally scathing about Ronald Reagan, the President who won the Cold War. Like it or not, Trump is the democratically elected leader of our closest ally. As Randy Newman sang about another controversial U.S. politician: ‘He may be a fool, but he’s our fool.’ We are going to need him — and not just to prop up the Nato alliance at a time when Islamist nutjobs have declared war on the West. Unlike some of our so-called international ‘partners’, Trump is an Anglophile who has said that Britain will receive favourable treatment when it comes to trade post-Brexit. That should be music to the ears of the mayor, who says he wants to protect London’s economy when we leave the EU. American investment is vital to ensure that happens. New mobile phone footage shows him stop breathing and his legs twitch before he dies outside the Wheatsheaf pub near London Bridge Yet Saddo Khan has announced that if the President’s visit goes ahead, he will boycott the official state banquet. Pathetic. It’s a pity the mayor isn’t quite so fussy over some of the other company he keeps. In the past he’s shared a platform with Islamist rabble-rousers who would do us harm and campaigned against the deportation to America of a man who subsequently pleaded guilty to raising money for terrorists. If he really wanted to keep undesirables off the streets of London, he might think twice about allowing the Al-Quds Day march through London to go ahead on June 18. Ostensibly in support of Palestinians, this event is regularly infiltrated by anti-Semites, Islamists and terrorist cheerleaders. Last year, demonstrators waved Hezbollah and Hamas flags. If this rabble tried marching through Trump’s New York they wouldn’t get more than five yards. The timing is deliberate. Al-Quds Day is always held on the date chosen by the late Ayatollah Khomeini to call for Israel to be destroyed. No wonder London’s Jewish community is alarmed. It’s irresponsible madness to hold such a polarising, provocative march in the wake of a bloody attack by Islamist terrorists. Poster Comment: The British are their own worst enemy, they refuse to recognize a problem, arrogantly thinking that Islam will assimilate into the British life style. They may have some passable universities and schools, but as to learning lessons of history, or from other nations experience, the British are dumb as stumps.

Drop Pam Geller and a few of her closest friends from 100,000 feet. Give them those old fashioned really big parachutes so their descent will be gently gradual.
You really do like those big parachutes. Wouldn't they have to have some oxygen? It would take minutes for them to freefall low enough for breathable air. Or is that a leading feature of your plan? I find the parachutes a little confusing. But if you just drop Pam Geller out of a plane at 100,000 feet, you can do some calculations. The first 1,000 feet takes about 11 seconds. After that, speed is steady and you fall 1,000 feet every 5.5 seconds. We can assume the level of breathable air is around 20,000 feet. So it would take 445 seconds to drop from 100,000 feet to 20,000 feet. About 7.4 minutes. So Pam Geller would have suffocated long before she could have pulled her parachute cord to any good effect. I just hope you're taking all this into account before you start making any parachute plans.

You forget, Geller carries around her own air supply. It's hot air too, so no problem with sub-zero temperatures. She'll be thrilled with how much her friends are sucking up to her.

To save GB, and the US, all the Moslems and Jews should be rounded up and dropped off in Tel Aviv. Drop them from 10,000 ft. Have them pack each other's parachutes.
