Sadiq Khan - Travel ban hypocrisy..........

No standards like double standards.

i can't travel either, if I leave the house they'll recognize I'm Lord Lucan and arrest me.
Luckily the tesco van delivers.

Is corruption mandatory in a certain religion then.

No to bacon, no to honesty, sort of thing?

I know corruption exists in all countries and all religions, but shirley this is no coincidence.

We need to march and drain those swamps, come on libtards, get yer crocs on, and march, march, march.

Are they all founder members of the women's movement in their own countries?

Omar Al-Bashir is President of Sudan since 1989 after a military coup.  In the Darfur region, he oversaw the war in Darfur that has resulted in death tolls that are about 10,000 according to the Sudanese Government, but most sources suggest between 200,000 and 400,000

is that the level trump has fallen to? that to see him in a good light we need compare him to
this lot ?

i havnt changed my tune

these countries have been hostile to israel since it was formed

i'd like them all to get along but it aint that simple



but really comparing trump to that lot , its funny

Khan is behaving in a hypocritical manner, I can't see how that can be denied.

they havnt recently imposed the bans, i would hope khan
is in favour of them accepting israel as a state as we british do

despite uk not voting for them to be admitted to united nations
back in the 40s/50s after they took over the british mandate of
palestine by force.....which to some folk around the world has
never been accepted

same as russian land grab in germany was never accepted and
numerous other disputes that have arisen through conflict

Saddo.

"Just hours after demanding the government rescinds its invite to President Trump over his travel ban, Sadiq Khan"

That's a disingenuous smoke and mirrors quote I reckon.  It implies Sadiq Khan demanded it, but it doesn't literally say he did.

"Just hours after a petition demanding the government rescinds its invite to President Trump over his travel ban, Sadiq Khan"

is probably more accurate

In which case he isn't a hypocrite

There should be no state visit for President Trump until he lifts his immigration ban. http://www.standard.co.uk/comment/comment/sadiq-khan-stop-the-uk-state-visit-until-trump-thinks-again-on-travel-ban-a3453171.html …

There you go, CLYDEBANK.

Isnt that what politicians do? Being a hypocrite is a part of their job description.

Also, it really has to be a stupid MP to compare this ban to Israel. Those countries have concrete reasons to ban Israel. Israel is in violation of some unique UN resolutions, of which no other country is guilty at such a massive scale. Most of these countries have made it clear that if Israel goes back to the 1967 settlements, they are ready to accept.

Now look at Trump's ban. It also addresses a problem. But the proposed solution is a mess. I am yet to see one reason how it stops terrorism. And the execution of it has been so bad that you have to question Trump's intentions. Is he really trying to solve a problem? Or just pleasing his voters while sucking up to the war machinery?

It's about resonating with the voters and everyone has heard of Trump.  It's difficult to resonate with the public and show integrity at the same time.  If you show integrity normally it means you won't resonate.  It's the conundrum of politics.  Plus there is all the PC nonsense to further muddy the waters.

That's why Trump got elected and BREXIT got voted in.  People vote on emotion and soundbites rather than reasoned arguments.

FROM THE SPECTATOR

My pick for the pious political hypocrite of the week award

Douglas Murray:





I would like to propose Labour MP Tulip Siddiq as the winner of the pious political hypocrite of the week badge for her response to President Trump’s temporary immigration halt. From today’s Guardian we learn that Ms Siddiq is one of a number of Labour MPs who have warned that the UK Prime Minister’s allegedly ‘feeble’ response to President Trump’s recent immigration order risks making UK Muslim communities feel ‘disenfranchised and disillusioned.’ Apparently the consequences of this failure could be ‘played out on our streets’ and ‘turning a blind eye to the reality of this ban we run the risk of losing the trust of an entire generation of young British Muslims.’

Now of course one might ask what it is about any group of people that makes them so available for street disturbances. I cannot think of any other group in society of whom this would be said. Does not the very suggestion that young Muslims might rise up on the streets of Britain over such a far-away political issue actually suggest a certain validity to the argument some people make that Muslims are unusually bad at integrating and continuing to import them in very large numbers is a mistake in the long term? Does it not, in other words, go some way to justifying what rationale appears to exist behind Trump’s Presidential order?

I park the thought in order to award the prize. The reason why Tulip Siddiq’s comments stand out are because of something rather closer to home than US border politics. For as well as being MP for Hampstead and Kilburn Ms Siddiq is also the niece of the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina – a woman to whom I understand she is very close. Such are the happy connections of an inter-connected world.

So were I Ms Siddiq, and genuinely concerned about global injustice, I would not spend much time condemning the UK PM for not sufficiently condemning the US President: this is a long and convoluted process, unlikely to yield results. Instead I would pick up the phone and call my aunt. For of course Bangladesh has for many decades run a genuinely bigoted and borderline racist border-control of its own which, among other things, refuses entry to Israeli passport holders. If you were a Jew living in your ancestral homeland and sought to go on holiday to Bangladesh – never mind if you decided to live there – you couldn’t. Now if I were such a believer as Ms Siddiq appears to be in the right of people to roam wherever they like such a blanket ban going back many years would bother me far more than a temporary ban which looks likely to be clarified in the coming weeks.

The other thing that is so interesting about this relationship is that it brings to mind a number of conversations I have had in recent years in the migrant camps of southern Europe. For on a fairly regular basis I have come across groups of Bangladeshi men in those camps who have come to Europe because they have had to flee their native land. As ever it is hard to verify the reasons they give, but most Bangladeshis I have spoken to in the Greek camps have explained that they had to leave their native Bangladesh because they were involved in the political opposition and that their lives were under threat from government forces. The plight of these people is genuinely terrible. Unable to return home, and unable to go beyond Greece to get into Europe.

So as I say, if Tulip Siddiq really wants to alleviate global social injustice, instead of using the alleged volatility of young British Muslims to try to sway US government policy she should just speed-dial her aunt. Direct lines don’t come much more direct than that.

douglas is a neo con

saddam hussein tried to bring in isreal when he invaded kuwait

another comparison ?

De traveller and Donny Osmond trying to defend the ban on Israelis.

Israel deserves it.

This is the hypocrisy of the Left.

The only group I know who if they don't get their way they turn violent are religion of peace members

Roosevelt had more balls...

On February 19th 1942 Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066. Under the terms of the Order, some 120,000 people of Japanese descent living in the US were removed from their homes and placed in internment camps. The US justified their action by claiming that there was a danger of those of Japanese descent spying for the Japanese. However more than two thirds of those interned were American citizens and half of them were children. None had ever shown disloyalty to the nation. In some cases family members were separated and put in different camps. During the entire war only ten people were convicted of spying for Japan and these were all Caucasian

pity your comprehension is so poor saddo

you could join if if it was better instead of having to post silly stuff
