He really is making a dogs dinner of things in London. Needs to resign and allow a stronger person to takeover who who has a personality. Really feel for the Black Cabbies. Totally sold down the river. Nope he isn't how would you cope when you have to keep the busses trains trams and tube running but are not getting income from passengers to pay for it then have a Tory government for political purposes as election next year insist on scrapping of subsidised fairs increase in congestion charge and hours of it in order for tfl not to go bust In addition the Tories have cut the Mets budget etc reducing the money sadiq has to pay for the extra expenditure like security and counter terrorism Let's not forget the 500 million the previous mayor spent and wasted on grandiose projects like the garden bridge the sky gondola etc And let us also not forget that that mayor paid his latest squeeze tax money for services rendered Let's also not forget the utter shambles the previous mayor left Londons accounts in and the lies he told |

He said terrorist defending lawyer which is a statement of fact he has defended terrorists personally I have many problems with Sadiq being wank this isnt one of them as even terrorists are entitled to lawyers but the work for Farrakhan a rabid antisemite that does say something about him. |

It's like the racists on here. None of them actually think they have a problem with people of colour or are prejudiced in any way. But the same individuals are always all over threads focussing on issues of race and colour. In much the same way, I'd think we'd all agree that BMW and Audi drivers have a reputation (often well-founded in my opinion) for being the twats on the roads. Unless, of course, you're a BMW or Audi driver, in which case, your driving is perfectly normal. |

I know that I’m probably just right side of centre but I don’t really care about parties as for me it’s more about the individual / leader, policy’s etc which is why if Starmer impressed me enough and I thought he was a better option and was going to improve things I’d vote for him. Ultimately there’s very little anyone can do to change things as an individual which is why I don’t get the obvious anger you see in so many people’s posts particularly if I’m honest those from the left and remainers. It’s like a lot of people on the TV with more extreme right or left views if you don’t agree with them your automatically - stupid - bigot - racist - selfish - woke - Karen It's an easy characterisation, but your own prejudice/confirmation bias will also be inherent in that. It's like the racists on here. None of them actually think they have a problem with people of colour or are prejudiced in any way. But the same individuals are always all over threads focussing on issues of race and colour. In much the same way, I'd think we'd all agree that BMW and Audi drivers have a reputation (often well-founded in my opinion) for being the twats on the roads. Unless, of course, you're a BMW or Audi driver, in which case, your driving is perfectly normal. And as I say we all have bias it’s just accepting that and admitting that sometimes we get it wrong. Experience of course has a huge impact on beliefs. People are too easy nowadays to use the word “racist” at someone who has a different belief. If someone does something wrong whatever there colour then they shouldn’t be beyond critisicm. |
