Where have I said that Gassy? Where have I blamed the past 14 years on Labour? It was Yatton blaming Tory austerity measures all I replied was why they had to implement those measures. So you believe Khan hasn't mismanaged funds? How many new police officers could he have taken on if he hadn't built a mound of earth costing £6m and a further £660k to take it down 6 months later. "Tory austerity measures all I replied was why they had to implement those measures." No they didn't. And the justification for why they did it, never materialised. Debt, they claimed that they would reduce national debt. They did not, it went up by nearly 80%. At the same time as they decimated public services. Then they brought us Brexit. Then they foisted Boris effing Johnson upon us. You must be soon proud of that record France. Your very bitter Oldie 😂😂😂

And of course nothing to do with the state of the economy and why cuts were needed when they came into power, and of course the mismanagement of funds by Khan.. And there it is, as usual. None of it their fault. Their mgmt of the economy the last 14 years is down solely to Labour 🤣 I assume you’ll give Labour a 14 year free pass for sorting out the current mess?

Can you post a link to any articles which suggest that he's caused any trouble at Posh? Can you tell me where I mentioned Posh? If your meaning the historical social media posts he made when aged 18 that's hardly putting him in the bracket of troublesome. Otherwise I'm struggling to find evidence of him causing trouble at any club he's played for. Come on Bags if MT came out saying we're signing a striker who had the same goal scoring record that JCH has had over the past 5 years you'd be delighted.

What weight would you give to the correlation between police numbers and crime rates? Stop and search has reduced significantly during Sadiq Khan's time as Mayor and by 44% in the past two years alone. The past two years Khan has had more Police Officers in the Met and City of London Police than Boris had at any time.

Aghast is 2024 yours is 2021 ……. If I’m reading things right? Aghast has not posted anything to back his claim that crime rates were higher under Boris!

Francegas highlights London because it's a visible target even though overall serious crime in the capital is well below other cities like Bradford, Birmingham and Manchester. You can't win with an analysis like this. Obviously major crime is committed in the biggest cities. Even though crime rates are lower under Khan than Johnson and Birmingham with a Tory Mayor exceeded that of London. It's not something that can be correlated with a Labour administration. Not that I'm blaming the mayors. It's inner city life, deprivation and poverty that cause crime, not the mayor. Can you evidence crime rates are lower under Khan than they were under Boris because everything I read indicates they are higher. I highlighted London because I lived and worked there from 1979 to 2007.

Are we not allowed to validate the process and question the benefits? France does make me laugh , he’s whinged about Khan for yrs on these forums. Voted in for a record third term on an increased majority! Boom 💥 Err hardly!! Slight over exaggeration on your part Yatton. You may boom 💥 and rejoice Khan being re elected but I'm sure the family of the latest murder victim on the streets of London isn't.

However the Tory candidate didn't win so it's yet another statistic against Khan. I've never said the Tories are guilt free of everything, it's been said on here that everything that has gone wrong is the fault of the Tories because it's under their watch (can't argue with that) so why can't I apply the same saying this is all under Khans' watch. Because you don't accept that verdict. So which is it, because you can't have it both ways..? You'll have to explain. (If I'm wrong) Of course I accept the result of the Mayor elections, it was a democratic vote and although I may not like the result I accept it. I just wish those on the brexit thread instead of crying,whinging and demanding another referendum would be as accepting of that democratic vote.

And yet another stabbing on the streets of London. Woman in her 60s stabbed to death by someone trying to steal her "handbag". Oh well look on the bright side at least Londoners are supposedly breathing fresher air! So if the Tory candidate had won, this stabbing wouldn't have happened? I wish you'd apply this level of criticism to all running of government France, or is it that the Tories are guilt free of everything and you just want to blame Labour? However the Tory candidate didn't win so it's yet another statistic against Khan.

On to season two of The Morning Show, which despite having Jennifer Aniston (who usually couldn't act if her life depended on it), as one of the main characters, is very good. Jennifer Aniston can't act? You take that back, that's my Wife you're talking about!! Only in your dreams bags.

Go to London and see for yourself. You just don't want to believe how London is being run because it's not reported in your sleepy Somerset village or in the Guardian. Speaks the man from his sleepy French village 🙄

Really and Khan isn't racist. Thank god I no longer live in Hillingdon. God help London. Elaborate Happily. Lee Anderson was kicked out of the Tory party for saying that Sadiq Khan was under the control of Islamists. Massive melt down with accusations that this was a racist comment. Imagine the response if he posted a picture of a black/asian family and stated this doesn't represent real Londoners. Sadiq Khan on the other hand posts images of a white family walking by the Thames with the slogan "looks staged and set up doesn't represent real Londoners" . In my book that was racist as it would be in your book had a Tory posted something similar about a black or Asian family.

Dig at me all you like. Your too kind to Khan (no surprise there) Messed up ULEZ are you having a laugh? he totally "f**ked it up some people face paying £27.50 a day to get to work and small businesses are being destroyed because of it. Are you honestly being serious saying he did poorly managing the police? Knife crime is up, we see the Met Police officers taking the knee, dancing the Macarena, painting rainbow flags on their cars ...try telling the parents of the 14 year old murdered in Hainault last week Khan has only performed poorly. Deluded! Why would they pay £27.50 a day when the charge is £15? Unless you mean because they’re going into central, in which case they’re getting transport anyway, because it’s cheaper, 10x faster and you don’t need to spend £100 on parking. Anyone rich enough to work and drive to central London isn’t complaining about ULEZ mate. I have no problem with met forces taking actions needed to calm crowds and get on side. That’s just good policing, if you’re offended by that then perhaps you’re the new ‘snowflake’? What I dislike with the met if their arrogance, leadership, response time and culture. Much of that is oh Khan no doubt, but it’s also on the government for their public spending cuts. Your entire post seems to be livid because I said he was poor, instead of ‘terrible’ on a couple of issues. Is that really your point? Yet you still support the Tories and back them up after that last 14 years? Do you not see the irony in that? Because some small businesses deliver in central London. That means they pay ULEZ if their van doesn't comply and on top the congestion charge. I'm no snowflake I just want to see the Metropolitan Police doing their job and what they're paid to do, which clearly they are not. I'm sure you are aware that during 2021/22 70% of metropolitan police officers did not make a single arrest in a year. My step son is a Metropolitan plain clothed police officer and my wife and I are embarrassed to tell people that (not embarrassed of him just who he works for).

Wow it’s salty in here, people! 10 points is massive considering he messed up ULEZ and has done poorly managing the police / protests. Should he be Mayor again? Debatable. Should the Tory? Absolutely not, all she had going for her was stopping ULEZ. 10 points clear after all that, it’s clear London is still a Labour strong hold. Now, who mentioned champagne? 🍾 Dig at me all you like. Your too kind to Khan (no surprise there) Messed up ULEZ are you having a laugh? he totally "f**ked it up some people face paying £27.50 a day to get to work and small businesses are being destroyed because of it.
