'Fare freeze' apparently means something different after the election:

I believe that election promises should constitute a contract and that a breach of such should result in a re-election.

Red and Blue Army!

Politician in "lying-his-@rse-off-in-an-election-campaign" shocker.

As election lies go, though, this is a pretty blatant and indefensible one. Either hi hadn't costed it, or he lied. there is no way he can claim, well, anything really on this one. "When I said no rises I clearly meant no rises for the over 80s when traveling with both parents"

Unbelievable

Whilst I wasn't a fan of the specific ad mentioned in the article, this reaction is farcical. It's not like we don't have an underlying health issue with obesity or anything.

Apparently he considers it "unhealthy or unrealistic".

Funny that it's a real person in the advert then.

You can be sure this will only apply to images of women, there will be no adverts banned of blokes with 6 packs etc.

Optimistic as ever

Would.

Hmmm. So Muslim left wing mayor has a problem with poster of women in Bikini.

Well it wasn't going to be long before Muslim attitudes started to pervade our society and the left wing love to pander to totally unrepresentative minorities don't they.

The only people who would be offended by such an ad are those on the extreme edges of society, like bonkers militant feminists, jealous bitter fatties and religious loons.

You voted for it. Well done.

"Nobody should feel pressurised, while they travel on the Tube or bus, into unrealistic expectations surrounding their bodies and I want to send a clear message to the advertising industry about this."

So presumably they're going to be consistent and not allow adverts for plastic surgery, teeth whitening, hair removal, hair replacement etc.

After all no one realistically expects a bald man to start regrowing hair.

Optimistic as ever

Good. Hopefully they will ban muscular men with nice suits from the train too then as that is an image I can never achieve.

Keep the tube for munters. When do we want it? Now.
