[Almost £60,000 has been raised for an enormous blimp of Sadiq Khan
to fly over London in a bid to oust the mayor from office.
It comes a month after a similarly huge balloon depicting a
spray-tanned Donald Trump in a nappy with a smartphone soared above
the capital during his first presidential trip to the UK.]

[Now, protesters on the other side of the ongoing row
between the two politicians have plans in place to hit back.]

I can remember a lot of the Trump supporters calling it childish and looking down on those that organised it but they were all for the Sadiq balloon.

The word of the day today is: Hypocrisy

I dont agree with this either, but Khan has set the precedent so can hardly complain

Why is he in a bikini? Where's the joke in It?

Like with Trump... there was a connection to the baby out fit... it wasn't done just because. People identified Trump as a big baby? Is your London mayor connected to this bikini somehow?

the Joke - The mayor never has a bikini on.
like the President was in a nappy

Yes he is silly to reply to Trumps tweets

I don't mind the blimp flying, it's freedom of speech as long as it's not a health risk. I just take issue with the people who were against the Trump blimp supporting this, that is just plain hypocrisy to me.

They should either be for both or against both, they can't pick and choose.

Oliver_W 30-08-2018 03:07 PM

I'm guessing the "joke" is that he banned bikini posters on the underground...? Or maybe I'm giving them too much credit, and it's literally just "lol a man in a bikini"

Either way, wouldn't he have to approve its flight anyway?

He can hardly say no

Withano 30-08-2018 03:26 PM

Why? What message are they trying to send to him/Londoners?

I'm guessing he could. He won't win over anyone who is pushing for the balloon of him anyways... and I doubt he'd lose any votes from those who protested Trump.

This middle ground stuff looks weak... and that is what makes politicians lose their positions

Waste of bloody money.

jaxie 30-08-2018 03:39 PM

As silly and childish as the Trump one and what a waste of money. It would have been better donated to charity.

Well I find both childish but people certainly can and do pick and choose. :shrug:

arista 30-08-2018 04:03 PM

The mayor will let it go up,
he has said he does not mind.
its going up around the mayors office
so its no a major crowd problem

To show the mayor how silly blimps are, they’ve made a blimp?
