Leftie Actor Hugh Grant Asks ‘Who F**ed London?’

Hugh Grant, the English actor known for his roles in films like Love Actually, recently expressed his frustration over the state of London, questioning who is responsible for its decline. His comments came via a post on the X social media platform, where he lamented the city's condition, describing it as 'dug up, coned, paralysed, miserable.' This outburst has drawn attention to the Labour Party's governance of London, which has been under the leadership of Mayor Sadiq Khan since 2016. The Labour Party has faced criticism for a significant increase in crime rates, particularly knife crimes, which have surged by 38% since Khan took office. In the previous year alone, there were 14,626 recorded knife crimes, highlighting a troubling trend in public safety. Grant's remarks have sparked discussions about the effectiveness of the Labour Party's policies and their impact on the city's residents. Interestingly, Grant has been an active supporter of the Labour Party, campaigning for them in various elections, including the 2019 general election. His advocacy for tactical voting aimed to prevent the Conservative Party from gaining a majority to push through Brexit. This duality in his stance raises questions about accountability and the role of political affiliations in addressing urban issues. The response from political organizations, such as Turning Point UK, has pointedly noted that Grant's 'Labour mates' are part of the problem he is now questioning. This situation underscores the complexities of political loyalty and the challenges faced by cities under long-term party governance.
