I finally had to resort to Wikipedia to find what I wanted to know. As opposed to his predecessor who I believed aided and abetted Islamism AT LEAST by way of his accommodation and a willingness to go too far to abandon BRITISH values as he promoted questionably Islamist individuals and interests, the new mayor, Boris Johnson seems to be just the opposite.

Speaking of Johnson:



Boris Johnson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a man who needs our support.

So why have the news accounts all downplayed or whitewashed this aspect of his political philosophy???
