Andrew Tate says London is too dangerous to go out at night in.
He wouldn't know much about that because since May 28th 2025 he has an arrest warrant pending for Rape and Human Trafficking.
So he hasn't been in the UK never mind London.

A new independent poll (KIIS) shows another increase in the number of Ukrainians willing to keep fighting "for as long as it takes"
Despite the US bullying Ukraine to hand over land to terrorists and demand an end to fighting by Christmas, only 9% believe war will end in 2025

The human cost of Trump's gutting of USAID: By the time Tor Top’s mother was sick with cholera, the nearby clinic had been shuttered for weeks. He bundled her into a canoe & paddled toward the nearest hospital, 8 hours away. Less than halfway into the journey, his mother died.

In their infinite wisdom, the Trump admin including RFK jr’s HHS has RESCINDED Biden’s rule for nursing home staffing minimums. Now nursing homes will be even more under staffed than they are now.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: The Somali community is almost universally American citizens. They're part of our family here in Minneapolis. To just go after a whole community indiscriminately, it's unconstitutional. It's flat out un-American. I guess that's what we've become accustomed to with Trump

This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

Absolutely right. And let’s be honest about the timing: every time accountability starts closing in on Trump: Epstein files, witnesses, reporting…suddenly there’s a brand-new “crisis” he manufactures to dominate the headlines. People’s lives aren’t a distraction tool.
We’re about to invade Venezuela because trump wants their oil. No other reason. The airspace has been cleared. Embassies are being evacuated. Flights are being canceled.
He’s going to kill people for oil.

After just 2 days of being hated by the Republicans, she had to hire private security.
This is why they don't speak out against Trump's insanity and go along with it. They're scared of other Republicans.

Donald Trump is clearly willing to do whatever it takes to stay in power, regardless of what the Constitution says. He “has always told us exactly who he is,” J. Michael Luttig argues. “We have just not wanted to believe him. But we must believe him now.”
