I thought the Trump thing was disrespectful and I think this is too.

However, I must say I did have a giggle at people prodding Khan to see if freedom of speech applies to all and whether or not Khan and the London assembly will also approve him being made fun of.

Let's have a quick browse through the comment section on that fundraiser, shall we... oh

Quote:
Why not make it into a cartoon prophet Mohammed in a nappy or Mohammed with his very young bride. See where Khans freedom of speech is then.
Quote:
Make sure Khan's Blimp floats to embarrass this anti British Islam git!
Quote:
I would rather see a balloon of Mahommed
Quote:
Get a blimp of Mohammed in a nappy ..but the evil dwarfe will do. Go Trump, we love you!
Quote:
Don’t agree with him wanting London to be a Muslim state
Quote:
Kneeling on a rug, and an additional speech balloon coming from his mouth shouting Allahu Snackbar
Quote:
You London idiots voted for this twit. Churchill would have this trator shot under the treachery act
.

Quote:
Anything to help the Brits avoid sliding off into the islamo-fascist police state it has become.
Quote:
Khan is the worse mayor ever to be in charge of London, he is anti Christian and state visits are nothing to do with him
Quote:
Its time we fought back against the tyranny that is Political Correctness and the myopic form of free speech that is developing in this country - free speech for the minority's, the young, the liberal left, certain faiths and sexual persuasions and the slavish adherence to Multi Culturalism - whilst banishing the opinions of the 'old centre' populace who have now become the 'far right' in the eyes of the establishment and media.

That's a very biased selection of comments MB. I saw a lot more people focused on his role as mayor and his shortcoming than anything racist as you seem to insinuate. Of course there are a few idiots spouting racism but those vile comments are few and far between compared to sensible comments.

Quote:
@sadiqkhan should be sorting out London's issues. Knife crime Moped crime etc He is more interested in "hot air" so I give what I can to create a "blimp in his name" Can't wait to see if he turns up on Tuesday on GMB to face @piersmorgan
Quote:
Ridiculous that the Trump balloon is being allowed. Unbelievable insult to a country we call an ally.
If this treatment was rolled out to leaders of Saudi Arabia and others who have appalling human rights records etc I might understand to a degree but even then I don't think it's an acceptable way to protest. Let's see if Mr Kahn can take it like he dishes it out........he certainly does not speak on my behalf.
Quote:
The Trump balloon is disrespectful to the people of the US. Like it or not, they elected him democratically and he is not just a political figure but is also Head of State
Quote:
Sadiq Khan’s policies that he has solely pioneered has left London in the worst state ever for knife crime and violence. Sick of his excuses, persecution of Israel and of a democraticly elected President that the UK working class would benefit from his visit. Khan is a disgrace.
Quote:
Khan is arrogant in officially recognising what is an insult to the leader of the largest economy in the world he does not speak for me, it is the height of poor taste and will damage our ability to get a deal with the US. Why is there no Putin baby? After all he has actively attacked this country. How would we like it if republicans started flying insulting balloons when our Royals visit other countries. This is childish insulting an the man is unfit to represent Britain through his role as Mayor of our Capital city
Quote:
Brilliant idea! I hope it goes ahead and proves to Mr Khan that he is just as disapproved of as Mr Trump is by some. The fact that he allowed the Trump baby to go ahead is embarrassing for the country and I hope this will embarrass him!
Quote:
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Let’s test how free all are to protest!
Quote:
Great Response to Kahn's idiocy
Quote:
Happy to support if the other disrespectful effigy is allowed to fly . If that is stopped - happy that my money goes to charity.
Quote:
Doesn't Sadiq Khan realise that we have welcomed every murderous dictator with grace and acceptance. Trump was democratically elected by the people of USA. The UK people protesting are juvenile.*
Where were they all when the King of Saudi and the Premier of China came on a state visit. Nowhere to be seen. Let's show the idiot Khan what we think of him. The US is our closest ally. They sent their men to help fight in two World wars. We should be respecting the US people's choice.

Yes, those are some highly constructive comments from multiple people who can't spell "Khan" and one who's asking, in all seriousness, why nobody's protesting Putin's visit

It's nothing about race though which is clearly what you were trying to indicate the comment section was filled with.

...well it's clearly about race for some, otherwise those comments wouldn't be there I'm not claiming that every post in that comment section is some kind of National Front tirade, but I see it as no coincidence that there's a hell of a lot of bile and "we support Trump" comments in the same comment section

Anyway, this balloon isn't going to be made either way, so congrats to the guy involved for wasting a few idiots' money, I guess? (I also don't think "haha Trump is a baby!" is the level of political criticism we should be aiming for eighteen months into his presidency, but there we are)

For some yes it will be as those stupid racist comments exist but reading the comments as a whole rather than singling out a few racist ones is pretty conclusive a lot simply want him to do a better job no matter what his race.

That's all I am saying.

Bully for them and their sad, childish balloon - I mean honestly - are they dumb enough to think it will actually achieve anything. In their silly little dreams.

I should have waited before I made my earlier post, this one's a corker

Quote:
The British people had better wake up and soon, and get the Muslims out of their country before it is too late, starting with this dangerous loser of a Mayor. The UK welcoming and electing Islamists now is as dumb and doomed to major failure as France was in welcoming Hitler.

Of course not, they're just exercising their right to a peaceful protest (much like those who'll be marching, although I suspect those lot will come up with something more imaginative and hard-hitting than "he's a baby")

The people who've spent over £20k on this, however? I wonder what on earth they think they'll achieve, aside from crippling debt

If the balloon is refused the money goes to charity.

In which case, I feel sorry for whichever charity has to accept the money only as the plan B option to a bunch of Trump supporters failing to inflate a giant toddler

Perhaps it might have been better for them to take the high road and cut out the middle man on this one

If they get the money I doubt they will be bothered that much about being plan b.
