London Mayor Sadiq Khan faced backlash Tuesday after he announced the formation of a commission to review all London landmarks and street names, and vowed to remove any that do not comply with ‘diversity’.

Khan promised to ‘review and improve’ London diversity in the wake of BLM “protests” at which statues of Winston Churchill and Abraham Lincoln were defaced.

Khan told Sky News that the ‘Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm’ will review all London’s landmarks, including murals, street art, street names and other public memorials.

“When you look at the public realm – street names, street squares, murals – not only are there some of slavers that I think should be taken down, and the commission will advise us on that, but actually we don’t have enough representation of people of colour, black people, women, those from the LGBT community.” Khan said.

“We must ensure that we celebrate the achievements and diversity of all in our city, and that we commemorate those who have made London what it is – that includes questioning which legacies are being celebrated.” he continued.

“The Black Lives Matter protests have rightly brought this to the public’s attention, but it’s important that we take the right steps to work together to bring change and ensure that we can all be proud of our public landscape.” Khan proclaimed.

Some pointed out that what constitutes ‘diversity’ and what is unacceptable to Khan’s commission probably won’t jive with public opinion.

Others wondered how long it will be before other forms of expression are targeted:

Others simply want the Mayor to deal with the massive murder epidemic in London, or look at the economic collapse, rather than worrying about statues:

Perhaps this is the only real solution:

Comedian Speaks Out After He Was Refused Gig For Being ‘White, Straight Able-bodied Male’

“Cack-handed attempts at social engineering don’t help anyone.”

A British comedian has spoken out after he was turned down for a gig based on his race, sexuality and gender.

Nick Dixon, who has toured the UK comedy circuit extensively and had success as a movie writer, says that a comedy club operator informed a fan of Dixon’s that he wouldn’t be booking the comedian because he was a “white straight able-bodied male”.

The club owner told the fan “I kind of have a million billion really good white, straight able-bodied male comedians I can call upon.  I’m trying to find more of the opposite.”

The message continued, “When I say the opposite I don’t necessarily mean a black gay woman in a wheelchair, but I’ve seen how hard it is for female acts, black acts etc to get on good bills.”

This is not an isolated incident where comedy clubs are concerned.

Dixon says that such discrimination is happening to every white comedian in the country, but many are afraid to speak up.

“This has happened to basically every straight white comedian I know,” Dixon stated, adding “Whether it’s live or TV work, everyone this happens to feels it’s wrong, though they might not admit it publicly.”

He continued “Even right-on left-wing comedians will express anger about it in private…But if you asked them to give up their place on a TV panel show for a person of colour it would be a different story.”

“I just want a meritocracy because that’s better for everyone. Where you have a meritocracy, diversity happens naturally. Look at football, for example,” Dixon explained, noting that comedy shows should be made up of “just the funniest people.”

“These cack-handed attempts at social engineering don’t help anyone. I don’t believe it is necessary to do this in comedy,” Dixon urged.

The comedian has previously warned about comedy going ‘woke’, and the detrimental effects it has on the art form, claiming that the aim of woke comedy “is not to make us laugh, but to lecture us about what we should believe.

Dixon isn’t alone in lamenting the death of comedy at the hands of wokeness. Others including Rowan Atkinson, Ricky Gervais, John Cleese, Joe Rogan, Adam Carolla, Bill Burr, and Dave Chappelle have all issued similar warnings.

Cancel culture has seen some comedians self-censoring in order to appease the mob:

The ultimate irony is that leftist comedians are quick to cry ‘cancel culture’ when their own bland drivel is rejected.

Cricketing Authorities Considering Exposing Another Player For Tweets He Posted When He Was 15

Another target for the witch hunt mob.

Following the international suspension of cricketer Ollie Robinson for tweets he posted when he was 18, the ECB is now considering whether to expose the identity of another player for posting “offensive” tweets when he was 15.

Yes, really.

As we previously highlighted, Robinson was “made an example of” by cricketing authorities after his teenage tweets, which largely consisted of a few “racist” words and some lads’ banter, were uncovered by offense archeologists.

Now another cricketer could be about to face cancellation

“Wisden.com chose to obscure the identity of the player, who was 15 at the of the tweet, but did include details of the post, including ‘your going out with a asian’ and three hashtags: ‘Asianthroughandthrough’, ‘hweolloo’ and ‘c****y’,” reports the Daily Mail.

Wow. Big deal.

According to the Mail, the ECB is “considering” whether to publicly name the individual, opening him up to be targeted by witch hunt mobs and forced into a groveling apology, which as it proved for Robinson, will achieve absolutely nothing.

So according to the left, “cancel culture doesn’t exist,” and yet another sports star may be about to say goodbye to his whole career for tweets he posted when he was literally a child.

Completely absurd.

England Cricketer Gets International Ban For Edgy Tweets He Posted When He Was a Teenager

But cancel culture doesn’t exist.

England cricketer Ollie Robinson has now been suspended from all international matches over some edgy tweets he posted when he was a teenager in yet another foul example of cancel culture.

“England and Sussex bowler Ollie Robinson has been suspended from all international cricket pending the outcome of a disciplinary investigation following historical tweets he posted in 2012 and 2013,” reports Sky News.

The tweets originally posted by Robinson nearly a decade ago when he was 18 can be viewed below. They’re a mixture of offensive words and lads’ banter. Such rhetoric was commonplace on the platform before the world went mad from around 2015 onwards.

Secretary of State Oliver Dowden responded to the controversy by asserting that cricket authorities had gone too far.

“Ollie Robinson’s tweets were offensive and wrong,” tweeted Dowden. “They are also a decade old and written by a teenager. The teenager is now a man and has rightly apologised. The ECB has gone over the top by suspending him and should think again.”

“I don’t even care what he’s said,” remarked another respondent. “Imagine being a young cricket player, fulfilling your lifelong dream of playing for England and some neeky prick scours through your decade-old teenage tweets to find something to be offended by – and you actually get suspended. Cuck culture.”

Some people ludicrously tried to compare Robinson’s conduct to that of Shamima Begum, a British Muslim who traveled to Syria to join ISIS.

Leftists actually think that posting some edgy tweets as a teenager and joining an international terrorist organization are somewhat similar, and that people are only defending Robinson because he’s white.

In reality, as we highlight in the video below, authorities specifically wanted to “make an example” out of Robinson because he is white.

Meanwhile, leftists still absurdly argue that cancel culture doesn’t exist.
