London's Khan to Provide £25k Grants to Rename Streets in Latest BLM Push

[Breitbart] London’s leftist mayor Sadiq Khan is making £25,000 grants available to change street names in a Black Lives Matter-inspired diversity drive.

The so-called "Untold Stories" grants are to be backed by a £1 million fund of public money, which campaigners will be able to use to hire consultants, remunerate impacted residents, and so on throughout the renaming process — which is not as simple as might be supposed, having an expensive knock-on effect on emergency and postal services, for example.

They will be administered by the Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm, established by Mayor Khan after the BLM violence sparked by the death of George Floyd in America crossed the Atlantic to decide whether monuments and memorials to historic figures deemed "problematic" by the modern left should be removed.

"London’s diversity is its greatest strength but for far too long our capital’s statues, street names, and buildings have only shown a limited perspective on our city’s complex history," Khan asserted, in comments reported by The Telegraph.

"I’m determined to do everything I can to ensure our public realm presents a more complete picture of everyone who has made London the incredible city it is today," he vowed.
