Another bête noir is the multicultural celebrations for various religious holidays, including Eid in Trafalgar Square. “I just think, listen, celebrate whatever you want in private, but the civic culture of a city has to be British,” she says. Cunningham does not pray or fast over Ramadan but does celebrate Eid at home with family. “I think that it’s not a Muslim city. And I think that I would like to see Judeo-Christian culture and British culture celebrated more in London.” How? “I didn’t see any Easter celebrations in central London, you know. I’d like to see, like, a… city wide Egg Hunt!” her eyes light up. “Love that, my kids would love that, you know, where all of London, we all get in teams, and we do an egg hunt.” She also wants the Union flag (“a beautiful sight”) to be “everywhere”.
