who keeps getting elected in that there London (it is almost like the forum dinosaurs are out of touch) has a new plan.

London mayor to 'explore' building on green belt
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwy73n9kxyjo

It is unlikely Khan's speech later today will actually include the words "and so the Jockey Club can flog off Kempton to slum landlords" but keep an eye on the Racing Post when it catches up some time next week.

he gets elected by the labour bloc vote. anything would. and he is useless

what is a forum dinosaur?

and the jockeuy club might sell off kempton but it wont be to landlords, slummie or otherwise. it will be to a house-builder who coughs up the most and agrees to build a chunk of 'affordable' and subsidised housing (free for those underserving of it in practice). far from slum development. all will be brand new

the dinosaur is you with your silly inaccurate and resentful politics of envy and loathing

more likely to be the site of a UK grand mosque in 2050 than hosting the King George.

mitolo -- there have been six elections for Mayor of London. Labour won three. That's half. 50 per cent. The London Labour block vote is a myth.

The other three were won by Ken Livingstone as an independent, beating Labour, and Boris twice.

Do you not all think its strange that people like me who live in London and have done most of their lives vote in Sadiq Khan & think he does a good job, and that people like yourselves that don't live in London, never have and never visit think he's not doing a good job???? :D

Livingston = free travel
Boris = clown, charisma and lovable Rogue
Khan = beat poor non-entity opposition; legacy will be Ulez.

Livingston would have beaten Khan; Boris would have beaten Khan. Khan is only serving a 3rd term because the opposition (past and present) are poor, and non-Asian.

I live in London, but I've never voted Sadiq Khan, why? Because he's stupid, clueless but extremely lucky eg poor troubled opposition (Tory) candidates; Liberal and Green unknown and wasted vote.

Khan would never have been London Mayor had Boris not had aspiration of being PM.

i live in london and hes not done a good job. hes caved in to every special interest group, wasted fortunes on nonsense with bollox diversity initiatives, re-purposed bus lanes into cycle lanes, creating chaos(ask a bus driver-much slower and more collisions) and brought in punitive charges  like the ulez(and im not a driver)

he goes on about 'knife crime' and general unruliness on the streets but wont admit the root cause. he blames online platforms for selling zombie knives, as though they had a life of their own. who buys them? knives dont commit crime. its a disingenuous euphemism

he got a knighthood for being no good. but he was always getting one regardless, most of those who get one are unworthy of it

There's already one in Regent's Park. I think another one in Piccadilly Circus will knock tourism for six. It will put most tourists off; Chinatown will not be the same ever; most property prices will head south too.

9 years is 9 years too long. Mr Khan was nondescript as a lawyer...his former colleagues would testify. He was also useless as an MP with no policy or amendment attributed to him despite 11 years in Parliament.

But for ill-health Tessa Jowell would have been the Labour Mayoral candidate post winning 2012 Olympic for London.  a Mayor his legacy will be Ulez.

Mr Khan's as grey as it comes. His legacy as London Mayor will be Ulez.

I think it's more than just Gerrard St. I think it encompasses Lisle St and a section of Shaftesbury Ave. I still remember parking the car in the NCP car park next to the Chinese Supermarket.

A lot of vague things Khan has done wrong without any substance of what hes done wrong. Just a lot of dog whistle nonsense about Mosques and the following....

"He's an utter imbecile, establishment mouthpiece. Shameless cronie."

"Uk is lopsided with overcrowding…"

"Mr Khan was nondescript as a lawyer...his former colleagues would testify. He was also useless as an MP"


He's done much more than Boris and his vanity projects. Free school meals, helping air pollution & TFL fare freezes for example

Im not a big fan of Ulez as a car driver but its there to help air quality

Would agree Abbott is pretty mad and shouldnt be anywhere near the home office like Corbyn wanmted!

Ulez outside Central and City of London is naff eg London boroughs of Sutton, Croydon, Enfield, N & S Circular. Only Mr Khan could have thought of this.

Ask any of Mr Khan's former legal colleagues. He was totally nondescript, and grey; void of ideas, lacking ability and communication skill. Only the Labour Party would have him; a law degree (from 3rd class uni/anywhere) is a foot-in. And, it shows the lack of depth of the Party.

why not waste a load more money with pointless renaming of tube lines?
Report mitolo May 11, 2025 11:47 AM BST
and look at the names they got. entirely as i said, caving in to certain groups that he looks on favourably. what about naming a tube line after the poor buggers that died in large numbers digging the thing by hand? but they are not a vociferous minority, no recognition for them

instead windrush. not much to celebrate there. could have called it knifeline

mildmay line? to commemorate the work done by aids campaigners. first thing any londoner thinks about and they are so grateful

suffragette was always going to be one. but lionesses? walor. utterly embarrassing bollox from sadcake khant. an epic idiot rewarded for bending over

and he is also anti-democratic. he 'does not deal with reform members' of the gla. thats ignoring the wishes of 14% of the population. vote for him or f off
Report impossible123 May 11, 2025 12:45 PM BST
The sooner he goes the better for Londoners. Maybe with the war against India Pakistan needs his diplomacy and negotiation (skills) now.

Please leave Mr Khan. London is unrecognisable since you became London Mayor. Our International standing has suffered negatively every time you open your mouth.
