During Donald Trump's speech to the UN earlier this evening, he claimed that London's Mayor Sadiq Khan was "terrible" and said the city wanted to implement Sharia Law. The controversial comments sparked a fiery debate on GB News between broadcasters Kelvin MacKenzie and Michael Crick. Their row shed a light on London's changing identity and deep divisions.
MacKenzie backed Trump's assertion that London had been transformed, but Crick said the city was a thriving metropolis. They clashed over what constitutes a successful modern city as they debated immigration and diversity. MacKenzie alleged figures state "40-odd per cent of people in London were actually from outside the UK". He also said that while "60-odd per cent were British", many were "black or brown British".

When Crick asked what was wrong with that, MacKenzie replied: "You're going to say that our capital city being 60 per cent dominated by people not from here is normal? It's not normal, you've gone mad."
The former Sun editor added: "I want to vote on saying we don't want more people coming into our country. You don't want to vote on it, you just want to agree on it."
However, Crick challenged MacKenzie and fumed: "Our capital city is a lot more successful than his [Donald Trump's] capital city, which he has, by his own terms, sent in the national guard."
MacKenzie, however, responded: "He sends the national guard into a lot of places, and do you know what happens? Crime goes down."
Trump's speech caused the audience to groan when he brought up the topic of "uncontrolled migration." He claimed Europe had been invaded by a force of illegal aliens like nobody's ever seen before.
Following his remarks about Khan, a spokesperson for the Mayor dismissed the comments as "appalling and bigoted". They also stated London remains safer than major US cities, as murder rates are at 9.8 per million, unlike 68 per million in America.
