Joan Collins has slammed Sadiq Khan and Keir Starmer in a damning assessment. The veteran actress, 92, wrote an opinion piece for The Spectator about how Sadiq Khan's repeated failures are "slowly destroying" London. She also made huge comparisons during a visit to Majorca, where there's not a hint of graffiti and the "pristine streets" are a mark of pride and respect. She also slammed Lime bikes taking up the streets of London and how "dangerous" they are to individuals. She questioned how we have arrived at this "terrible state of affairs" and lashed out at Keir Starmer, calling him "cringe" and the most "unpopular Prime Minister in living memory."
She wrote: "I'm a Londoner born and bred, and I love this city, even though it’s slowly being destroyed by the insidious antics of Sadiq Khan. Do his repeated failures explain why his hair is going prematurely white? Why are the roads closed all the time, for no apparent reason? Why are there endless roadworks, yet no men working on them? Why do we have filthy streets and graffiti everywhere?"
Joan continued: "I’ve recently been almost run over twice by ‘Lime bikes’. I’ve also tripped over a bunch of discarded cycles on the streets of Belgravia. Everyone I know has experienced the rudeness and sloppiness of most of these bike riders."
She further fumed: "Can the most unpopular Prime Minister in living memory resolve these problems? Probably not. How have we arrived at this terrible state of affairs? [...]
"Whenever I hear the grating tones of our Prime Minister rattling on about what he’s going to do for ‘working people’, I cringe."
Joan also recently lashed out at London's Lime Bike users in a furious Instagram post in June. Standing on a street amongst a row of bikes, she captioned her post: "#shocked about the #loutish behavior of @lime #bycicle users #pavementsareforpedestrians #limebike."
After sharing a clipping of her opinion piece on Instagram, Joan has been flooded with plenty of messages reacting to her article. One person said: "You’re so right about what’s happened to London. So very sad. And is you’re probably well aware, it’s happening here as well. And the politicians just close their eyes to it."
Another also chimed in: "Thank goodness for your brutal honesty about the state of London." A third also chimed in: "Always speak the truth and common sense. That’s why you are so fit and healthy. I wish more people had the courage to say it as it is. You're amazing."
