Congratulations Sadiq Khan- new mayor of London

[Dukasaur]

So being in the public eye has no repercussions? Things that one says or does, that are viewed by the public, have no effect?

It might indeed have effects. The question is, specifically what effects are you claiming it had?

[The asylum]

Publicity is not a "repercussion."

Repercussions are consequences with tangible effects. Publicity is an intangible value.

Were there any real repercussions?

I chose to ignore the repercussions bit as I find mrswdk to not have a clue what he's talking about 100% of the time. Thanks for taking the time to explain to me something I already knew though.

What I was trying to explain to the utter buffoon mrswdk was that the London mayor job gives you a platform. Boris has been mentioned as the next conservative leader which gives him a good chance to be a future prime minister. He's leading the no campaign for the eu referendum.

So for the moronic mrswdk to say I simply should not care about the London mayor because I don't live in London just goes to show how much of a fool he is!

Ah, the "Shut up, I don't care!" argument.

Seen here in its native habitat, Asy, cornered in a thread about the Mayor of London he's been posting in for several days, argues that he doesn't care about the Mayor of London.

Will his ploy persuade our persnickety posters? Or will his tantrum toll trouble?

Stay tuned.

I see your time off has really invigourated your stupidity and give you a renewed confidence in showing off your inability to decipher words put together.

An "Invigorated" Sym illuminates an illiteracy. Can Asy's tumultuous tantrum be taken to a tolerant end? Or will he find flames are his only friend?

What will he think of next?

[mrswdk]

being Mayor of London has repercussions!

what are those repercussions?

there are repurcussions

Johnson has managed to splash himself around the national media recently by latching onto a political campaign (Leave.EU) which before he joined had no one even slightly newsworthy associated with it (prior to Johnson joining it's biggest hitter was Michael Gove, who is a Cabinet minister and is also boring AF), and making sensational, Trump-esque claims such as 'Obama dislikes the UK because he's part Kenyan' and 'the EU is like Hitler'. When it comes to the regular business of government (health, education, foreign policy etc.) no one really cares what Johnson thinks because he is a fool.

So, dare I ask again: outside of London, what tangible impact has Johnson ever had?

[The asylum]

And so it begins.

No adverts allowed in London on tubes, billboards etc with woman scantily clad women.

The honourable Mr khan delivered a speech in support of remain. Men at the front, women at the back. Because segregation is liberal!

Liberals and Islam are so at odds with each other it's laughable, but the liberals have chosen their path and will ignore every indication that it's just not viable.

I thought you said Khan was elected by Muslims and ethnic minorities?

Not really kid, following a religion doesn't decide your politics.

Out of interest, why didn't you capitalise "Khan"? Was it a concious decision, or a Freudian slip?

[riskllama]

it most certainly can.

It can, but it doesn't mean it will. There's a billion plus Catholics in the world. You honestly think we all agree on the same exact politics? I know Catholics that are GOP, Dems, and Independent.

But all on the same page when it comes to diddling kids and bombing abortion clinics/British convoys, amirite?

[The asylum]

Khan may very soon be taken to court on racism charges. Having said that the tube employs far too many white men. Doesn't he realise that's discrimination on grounds of race

Not really, but nice try. It is interesting that you're still attacking him on race lines though. Have you looked at any of the policies he ran on?

Just a thought, of course, but it'd be interesting to see if you can see him as Mayor, rather than Muslim.

You're probably the type of person that immediately calls conservatives who are against gay marriage bigots. And then welcome a culture that wants to execute gays! Islam is at odds with every one of your cherished social justices!

Wait... the London government is banning certain types of advertisements? Are these publicly owned properties or privately owned?

What difference will that make to an Islamist? This is just the start.

London's subway system is publicly owned.

Just out of curiousity, what was the reason given by London for the ban?

The report that pops up first on Google says:

Adverts which put Londoners under pressure over body image are to be banned from the Tube and bus network.

Sadiq Khan announced that Transport for London would no longer run ads which could cause body confidence issues, particularly among young people.

Apparently those ads appeared some time last year and enough internet ragers got angry about it that it became a Big Thing.

Although, if asylum07 is correct, there is also the wider issue of Sharia Law's insidious spread to all aspects of UK life at play here.

So, here's the thing... I know why London passed the law (I assume it's a law; not sure what those people call those things). I knew why London passed the law when I asked asylum why they passed the law. I wanted him to tell me so that I could say:

"So, London passes a law to protect the body image of women which seems to be pro-women. I would hardly call Sharia Law pro-woman."

[mrswdk]

I don't think you were going to get much more out of asylum than 'Khan is a Muslim'.

But hey, I've said it before: the burka, which releases women from societal pressures to sexualize themselves for men's pleasure, is actually one of the great feminist inventions of all time. Down with patriarchy - hurray for Sharia Law!

[The asylum]

What a load of bollocks! Are women not capable of making their own decisions on what they want to wear?

Khan says turkey should be allowed into the EU soon and the EU shouldn't be some sort of ' Christian club'. Anyone else notice a completely different person to the nice guy that campaigned? Well the EU is finished now so it's irrelevant.

[mrswdk]

What a load of bollocks! Are women not capable of making their own decisions on what they want to wear?

Well, many women wear the burka or niqab out of choice.
