Sadiq Khan, has issued Orwellian Newspeak language guidance to civil servants demanding that they no longer use the term “illegal migrants” or “illegal aliens” but rather “undocumented” migrants or “people with insecure immigration status.” It goes on to say that asylum seekers should be called “people seeking asylum.”
Breitbart (h/t Marvin W) Rather than focus on issues facing Londoners, such as rampant crime and high cost of living, Mayor Sadiq Khan saw fit to spend his time ensuring that bureaucrats under his charge abide by politically correct language codes on gender and migration.
“Remember, we are all Londoners. Don’t make a distinction between ‘migrants’ and ‘Londoners’,” the document said, adding that EU nationals should be referred to as “European Londoners and their families” and that “non-English speaker” should be changed to “Londoners with English language needs”.
The woke language guide went on to cover the topic of gender, demanding that London government workers ditch the words “male” and “female” as they are now considered “dated and medicalised”. “Men and women” therefore should be switched to “people” or “Londoners”, the Mayor’s guide argued.
“Similarly, instead of ‘ladies and gentlemen’ say something that doesn’t exclude non-binary people,” it said. Firmly planting itself on the far-left of the gender debate, Mayor Khan’s guidance said that in light of biologically male transgender people, civil servants should note that “not all women have periods.”
Responding to the leaked document, Conservative MP Miriam Cates said: “The whole point of language is that it is commonly understood by those who use it. “The idea that ‘male’ and ‘female’ are medical conditions is frankly absurd. This taxpayer funded guidance is in conflict with fact, reality and the law.”

How these failed worlders do love to use the first person plural to drive their wants and desires forward while overriding the wishes of the real British people.
Is it racist to describe such a man, from Pakistan which hasn’t invented the lavatory yet, as a toilet free illegal migrant on the get?

All he’s doing is mimicking OUR idiotic D.C. left, coining and inventing ridiculous phrases for ILLEGAL ALIENS!
I remember a few of the most absurd:
1) “Undocumented future Americans”
2) “Unregistered Guests”
3) “Future Americans”
No, he has NOTHING on us!
