London Mayoral Elections

[mrsblue]

Islamabad probably wouldn't welcome a Mr John Smith from Huddersfield to be its mayor.

While London doesn't have any problem at all electing a Muslim called Sadiq Khan.

London's great isn't it?

I love London,so diverse and multi faithed,would not wish to live there though.

Khan was a shoe in for the job,his problem will be keeping every Londoner happy.good luck Sadiq.

What next ? A black man in charge of the U.S. ? Oh,,no that did already happen... :facepalm:


er, what next a Woman or even a Red Neck Racist running the U.S. - that would never happen, surely :dim:

 

[Floval Flyer]

Khan will do a good job

Would you rather have Zac Goldsmith.. Boris without the brains or charisma - at least Boris for all his faults was a very clever bloke, total buffoon, and that was half the appeal.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Yes and it's sh** hole. Was it when your brother lived there?

Yup.Not nice.Remember walking to my brother's flat, (not far from the tube), when a couple of lads took a pot shot at my foot from the top window of an Amusement Arcade on the other side of the street.Didn't half sting.

Imagine if Mr John Smith from Huddersfield became mayor of say Islamabad :nope:

A Christian woman chairs the upper house in Bahrain (70% Muslim)

The Turkish city of Mardin has a Christian Mayor (96.5% Muslim)

Egypt's foreign minister is a coptic Christian (90%Muslim)

The capital city of Indonesia has a Christian governor (87.2% Muslim)

etc

John Smith is the greatest PM we never had - stolen from us by an early death - ours and Islamabad's loss

Good to see Sadiq's first act in charge being a Lib Dem policy and making travel more affordable by introducing a "hopper" fare for buses so you can change buses without paying.

Excellent move.

More firearm officers on the streets (400+) by this time next year. So far, I'm likeiing this guy.Now if some of these new officers are deployed to deter cyclists who still jump red lights by shooting them just after the junction, then he gets my vote.

Not forgetting to save some bullets for the car and van drivers who do the same. Nearly got taken out this morning by some daft cow in a BMW speeding through a red.

if that is as close as you are willing to get to agreeing that your point was completely flawed then that is what will will have to run with

I nearly got run over yesterday as well. The driver accelerated instead of braked when the lights turned.

Why is motor vehicle drivers think that red lights don't apply to them?

Er, excuse me. Many of us are responsible drivers.

I'm guessing the driver concerned might just have been female?

I remember -as a pedestrian-crossing the road, just in front of a clear stop sign, (for oncoming traffic), a few years back.(This was just before my 9 am company class in SC-which,of course, also co-incided with the school run .The lady driver concerned (I assume) meant to put her foot on the brake but she hit the accelerator instead.The result was I ended up on the bonnet of her car.I wasn't amused.:nope:

Oi!!! :thump: Could have easily been one of many stereotypes - female, BMW or Audi driver, boy racer, old git! Or then it could have been an ordinary driver who just didn't fancy stopping! As it goes, I see far more men put their foot down to get over a light than women! :raspberry:
