How has he been an awful mayor? What the hell did Boris or Livingston do better than him in their tenures, in your eyes, other than be white?

I grew up in Carshalton and, to me, Penge was the ghetto.

Im a leftie but even if I wasnt I feel the need to step in here. Major of London is still pretty much a figurehead role, nobody who does that job has exactly set the world on fire have they? Mostly due to the fact that you cant really do that much in the role, Khan can make small changes but the right will see it as the destruction of western ideals/islamification of London (delete as appropriate) and when Boris was in charge he could only make small changes but the ones he did were seen as wrecking London due to incompetence and buffoonery.
Fact is neither of the could do much but the opposition saw every move as the beginning of the end of London.
Truth is they both did ok, you cant do much other than ok in that job...

You honestly think things change that quickly? Same as with Trump, things happening this early into both Trumps and Khan’s watch aren’t entirely to do with them. The fruit of the previous administrations labour is still filtering through.

"We love you Palace, we f@cking hate Man U, We love you Palace, we hate the brighton too, We love you Palace we play in red 'n' blue, so f@ck you, and you ...

You’re dismissing that because it suits your argument. But the fact of the matter is that what happens in politics. Happens in football management and most things in life.
You honesty think criminals are thinking “Khan’s in charge, let’s up the ante”. I know you’re not that silly to believe everything is simply that black and white. Excuse the pun.

"We love you Palace, we f@cking hate Man U, We love you Palace, we hate the brighton too, We love you Palace we play in red 'n' blue, so f@ck you, and you ...

It’s not ‘nitpicking’.

It is criticing the language of the left, whom use misleading illusions to further their own aims.

The language was:

‘You are shadowed by the city skyscrapers but surrounded by extreme poverty’

This language is designed to highlight the perceived excesses of the city versus the perceived poverty of people down the street. It isn’t correct and needs to be said as so. The left will use this even though they know that ‘extreme poverty’ doesn’t exist in Britain when compared on a global scale. Go to the Central African Republic and tell people there that ‘extreme poverty’in Britain is people receiving their benefits on their £500 smartphones, whom then spend it at a supermarket. Then see their reaction.

I wonder why you have such a hard-on about my comment to mention it in two threads. Are you looking to start something?
