Sadiq Khan, a British-born Muslim of Pakistani descent, won London's mayoral election with over 50% of the vote. The battle between the Labour man and his Conservative rival was marred² by a pernicious attempt to link Mr Khan to Islamic extremism. Donald Trump³, the presumptive Republican presidential candidate, said he would make an “exception” for the mayor to his proposed ban on Muslims entering America. Mr Khan dismissed the offer.

巴基斯坦裔英国穆斯林萨迪克·卡恩（Sadiq Khan）以超过50%的选票当选伦敦市市长。有人恶意将卡恩与伊斯兰极端分子联系在一起，这使这位工党议员与其保守党对手之间的角逐蒙上了一层阴影。胜券在握的美国共和党总统候选人唐纳德·特朗普曾经提议禁止穆斯林踏入美国国土，但卡恩市长可以是一个“例外”。卡恩并不接受这一邀请。

In other elections in Britain, the Conservatives surged to replace Labour as the second party in Scotland behind the nationalist SNP, which lost its majority rule.

It still lost seats, though not as many as the ruling Tories.

After making a gaffe⁴ by naming two “fantastically corrupt” countries before an open microphone (and the queen), David Cameron, Britain's prime minister, used the ensuing publicity⁵ to promote an anti-corruption summit being held in London. One of his proposals is a crackdown on foreign ownership of British property held by shell companies using illegally acquired money.
