Is london less safe with sadiq kahn as mayor?

[Beso]

:shrug:

[bots]

the only way he could make it less safe would be if he actively interfered with intelligence operations or cut funding to the services which I would suggest is highly unlikely

[arista]

yes I would say Safe


I wonder if he can build local housing , though

[user104658]

No.

[Crimson Dynamo]

i fear he will be a disaster in general. THe DM are going to go for him

Boris was a buffoon and Ken Livingstone was corrupt, so he really can't do much worse than his predecessors

[joeysteele]

No, London will not be less safe in my opinion and I think he will be a really good London Mayor too.

[Tom4784]

The campaign against him has been disgraceful. It's basically come down to 'he's got brown skin so he's a terrorist innit?'

London is certainly safer in his hands then it was in that bumbling fool Boris'.

boris did a good job, he is no buffoon

Boris did a great job, can sadiq fill his shoes?

[bots]

its not about 1 person, its about the people they surround themselves with. I don't know enough about them in this case. I do know that he has distanced himself from Corbyn, so that's a good start.

[user104658]

The fact that Boris is clearly not a buffoon is what makes it so ****ing sinister that he's perfected this act of pretending to be one. Like a shark swimming around saying "Lololol look at me I'm just a harmless and silly rubber chicken!"

[Cherie]

Lets give him a chance to get his feet under the table, we have to give him time before we can judge anything

[Beso]

isn't the people he surrounds himself with the problem:hehe:

hi cherie.

to be fair boris has left it in good nick, the job should be easy if he can keep it safe.

[bots]

isn't the people he surrounds himself with the problem:hehe:

lets say for 1 moment that he was a terrorist supporter. How long do you think he would last in his position if he took action in support of them. With the eyes of the world upon him, I would suggest minutes.

[Alf]

Time will tell

One things for sure, you won't be able to criticise him like you could Boris without being labelled a racist.

That's a very good point :hee:

[user104658]

I would imagine that people will be able to criticise him without being labelled racist so long as their criticism obviously isn't based on his race.

Which most of it will be, either explicitly or covertly.

[Cherie]

He is in a no win situation if London is attacked during his term, it is a prime opportunity for ISIS to divide a city, no question about it

[bots]

One things for sure, you won't be able to criticise him like you could Boris without being labelled a racist.

I think we need to put the Mayor position in context. Its not an all powerful position. Indeed the one being proposed for Manchester is much more wide ranging. That will be the interesting one.

[Beso]

yes I would say Safe

Not with those perfectly manicured hands.:nono:

[billy123]

Last year murder rates increased by 20% in London most of them gang related good old Boris.

According to Scotland Yard, nearly 20 per centt of all murders in London now have “gang associations”.

so not even 1 fifth
:rolleyes:


"Detectives say they cannot account for the increase but point out that the total is still historically low — seven years ago, the figure topped the 150 mark. "

Are you saying Boris was a murdering gang member?No im just saying he was *edit* not very good* and that birds of a feather flock together. :joker:

[smudgie]

From what I have seen of him up to now he seems an alright sort of fella.
Good working class roots looking to improve life for the ordinariy Londoner.

I doubt very much people would get away with half the names the Tory Toff has been called without the racist card rearing it's head.

Ah the usual liberal straw man argument. He is a worry due to his many associations with radical islamists

[Liberty4eva]

No, I'd say your country is *******ed.

I agree :/ not because of Kahn but corruption in general.
Our corruption is like a fart, silent but deadly.

political correctness is again sleep walking us into more disaster and more terrorism. but the liberals are still trying to make political capital out of it, disgusting treason

[Tom4784]

People only get mad about Political Correctness because they don't like the fact that their bigoted views are no longer accepted in soceity.

The way Sadiq Khan was been treated is racially motivated, Nobody acted like Boris was going to lead the city to ruin despite how incompetent he is because he's white and eccentric.

Literally the saying 'PC gone mad' is just a smokescreen for 'but I want to express my bigoted opinion, why aren't I allowed to wah wah wah :sad:'

wrong again. political correctness is why 20,000 children got abused in Rotherham by mainly muslim men and the cops and everyone else felt unable to talk about it or expose it for fear of being labelled racist during the regime of the corrupt politically correct new labour government

it is 100% wrong. read my reply above. PC has made free speech and actual conversation virtually illegal, the irony is when its used against labour they soon realise it works both ways as they have embraced radical islam which is often anti semitic

Goldsmith's whole campaign was littered with smear tactics aimed at Khan's race and religion, most of this thread is about calling Khan's capabilities into question based solely on his race and religion.

Has anyone who thinks he is a danger to London actually stated why because most of the arguments against him in this thread are barely veiled attacks on his race and religion, not his politics. I on't think his stance on any political issues have actually been mentioned in this thread.

arguments against him?

all i see in this thread is support!

[Cherie]

I haven't seen Boris's policies talked about either yet it's okay to call him bumbling buffoon etc, the campaign against Khan was distasteful, that said all political campaigns have smear campaigns so it's nothing new

[Kizzy]

His policy of gentrification and advising friends to have their adversaries beaten up?
