Has Mayor Khan Lost The Plot?

[youngmafbog]

It appears if you disagree with him now you are far right, covid denying antivaxxer (Even the labour that are objecting I guess).

"Mr Khan went on: 'Let's be frank, let's call a spade a spade... some of those outside are part of the Far Right, some are Covid deniers, some are vaccine deniers and some are Tories.'"

What a clown. Good luck Londoners.

He says that done were on the far right.
That seems quite plausible.
And was said I’m the midst of some pretty unpleasant behaviour by some.
He definitely does not appear, however, as the OP claims, to be branding everyone who disagrees with him as far right Covid denying blah blah blah.
There was nothing else to the question in fact.

Khan. like most far left-wingers are lazy, work-shy lefty donkeys, who have nothing positive to contribute to a progressive society but seem to get into these high profile jobs because of diversity and the other related nonsense, who moan and moan

[ichkeria]

Sadiw Khan is very much in the mainstream moderate camp of the Labour Party

[CoolBritannia]

But if you are useless, just accuse opposition people as far-right'.

[ichkeria]

Actually not sure that comment merited a reply

[Deskdiary]

That’s poor untitled.

Even saying “some” is wrong. There may well be, but objecting to this absurd plan is not a far right or covid denying issue - the fact is it’s an absurd plan that will affect the poorest in society. This is completely undeniable.

erm i don't think you need to look very far to see that there are people who behave like that in the opposition to this

pretty sure the poorest in society will benefit from cleaner air

"Mr Khan went on: 'Let's be frank, let's call a spade a spade... some of those outside are part of the Far Right, some are Covid deniers, some are vaccine deniers and some are Tories.'"

By that, does he mean no Labour supporters were objecting no lefties were objecting and no people who got jabbed to death were objecting?

[Deskdiary]

They’ll benefit from purer air, untitled, but I’m pretty sure they’d rather eat and be able to clothe their kids.

See, I can use hyperbole as well.

[Atheist]

Apart from being short and brown-skinned, what has Sadiq Khan done which is so deserving of vituperation? (Look it up).

[royfromaus]

Will do, Joey

[Atheist]

And, speaking of unsupported insults which are aimed at people who don't know much but like to hear whatever suits their agenda, Can anyone explain to me what Labour said which was 'anti-semitic'? It's taken as given that Labour was that, but I never read anything about what was actually said.

[royfromaus]

Start your own thread about that, Baby Kangaroo.

erm that wasn't hyperbole deskdiary... if anything it was litotes

air pollution is a major long term problem in london and it's a good thing that the authorities are trying to do something about it

Shame on you for using that to criticise him. I'm shocked!

[douglas9401]

Come on now naomi, you know what he meant.

[naomi24]

Ohhh! I get it now, douglas. He means that since Khan has done nothing to warrant criticism, anyone who does criticise him has to be racist. That'll be it then,

Deskdiary @ 13.26:

"The ULEZ expansion is a tax on the poor."

It definitely is. None of these zones are necessary. It's not fumes from vehicles that makes people ill; it's their own careless lifestyles.

[douglas9401]

Exactly naomi, the lesser of two evils. :-)
