Why couldn't they find a good enough candidate to beat Sadiq Kahn? Why was Zac Goldsmith so lame that he couldn't beat this guy?

What do you mean? I was in Bosnia last September — exactly where you were in fact — and didn't at all feel any threat to my person, unprovoked or otherwise. Nothing of the sort rose upon crossing the border from Croatia. This was from my time in Bosnia hitchhiking throughout the south of the country, I never had any cause to watch my back.
I've come under far more real physical danger in supposedly harmonious God-fearing nations - of the Christian kind.

I was referring to the war that ended 20+ years ago, friend. It is reasonably safe to visit nowadays, of course.

Nowadays, there are still political tensions (as I have said, caused by interference from foreign powers, mostly US), but that is, in all honestly, irrelevant for players like us. Good pussy is, after all, a good pussy, regardless of nationality or ethnicity.


Sorry for derailing the topic.

I imagine there was a lot of virtue signalling involved in this decision and it had very little to do with this guy's merits at all (a la Obama getting in because he would be "the first black POTUS ever! Yay! we're so not racist here in the States and this proves it!!" and more than likely Hilary later this year, "the first woman ever in the white house! wow, how incredible we are and so tolerant! We're the best!!"
And for London now it's:
"Let's become the first Western European capital city to elect a Muslim mayor! Diversity! Equality! Yay! Look at us, look at how tolerant we are! Aren't we just great!!"

I find it fascinating how London even managed to elect a Conservative mayor (even though Johnson was quite liberal, but still) in two consecutive elections, 2008 and 2012. Large cities around the world are usually big strongholds for leftists and liberals, while conservatives have a slim chance of being elected there.

Are there any Muslim neighborhoods in London where it isn't safe for a white or black person to walk without being hassled?

Well, that was fast:

And yet it was supposedly barred during Christmas time to publish 'The Lord's Prayer' adverts because they were of religious nature and thus forbidden.

Fucking hypocrisy. This shit cannot and will not stand.

Boris is a transcendent and "celebrity" politician.

I'm struggling to articulate just how fucking incredulous this makes me.
I don't even have to pick up a newspaper or turn on the news to know what every single political commentator is saying: "Sadiq's election proves how we as a country can unite to overcome prejudice and celebrate multiculturalism, to look past a man's beliefs and focus on the most important thing - running the Capital."

And the shrill cries of SJWs all professing about how tolerant and diverse we are and that this is a progressive step in the right direction and about how it reflects the views of ordinary Londoners.

To call this a lamentable situation would be to do it a gross injustice. I love the United Kingdom. I love the green and pleasant fields, I love the history, I love the culture, I love the people, I love the food and I love the values that we used to represent and hold dear. We used to care about out neighbours and put our money where our mouths were. We cared about things like integrity and our nationality used to be a shining beacon for the world to see.
Each year it gets eroded and eroded until eventually there won't be anything left. All in the name of progress.
And whenever you try to bring up the subject, every single goddamn time, you're bombarded with the sentiment that you should feel guilty because of our colonial past and about how the empire was such an evil and vile monstrosity and we should perpetually self-flagellate and apologize for it and let our culture stagnate and die in favour of others as a way of appeasement and apology.

It makes me irate. It really does.
And the absolute worst part is that I can't do a fucking thing about it. I try at the ballot box but it's in vain.
Whenever I see something in the news or hear about some insane new policy being adopted, I just think to myself 'Right, that's another thing to add to the list of 'Things I'd fix if I was the Prime Minister'' to the point where my entire term in office would be nothing but damage control.
But I can't change anything. Believing in the patriarchy alone would be enough to get me disbarred from all political parties in the country. And standing as an independent would achieve precisely two things - jack and shit.
Peter Hitchens did a good job of summarizing the machine at ~8:00

So no matter how intensely that fire, that burning desire inside me is to try and fix things, I can't do a damn thing.
The only things that I, as a man, can control are myself and my immediate environment.
So all I can do is just start taking Russian lessons.

I have some British ancestry myself, it breaks me to see this Islamification happening and spreading all over Europe, I can only imagine what a patriotic brit must feel.

I feel I need to say this:

This thread seems to have brought out the worst of this forum. Not sure how, being a paki or thereabouts, I can just read the below and not say anything.

This is post number six from Samuel the third...

How Britons could allow the 1st or 2nd biggest financial centre in the WORLD to fall under the reins of a bloody paki is just mind boggling.

I predict a mass exodus in the near future.

Well, Mr Konkin, given that at one point, Sajid Javid, a paki was joint favourite to lead the Conservatives after Cameron, it is not unfathomable that we could even get a 'paki' as PM. Certainly as leader of the opposition. How about Priti Patel, another British Asian MP who seems to be on the rise. I'm certain these two will rise to being in the top 5 politicians in the UK in 5 years or so.

Regarding Sadiq Khan, the guy was running against Goldsmith, who'se campaign, personality and appeal were pretty much zero. Yes, London, as most big cities do, would vote left. I didnt vote as dont vote left and Goldsmith just didnt deserve my vote. So I guess the best candidate/campaign won. Whats the problem here?

Look at my username, I come from a Muslim, background. Check my previous posts. I am not pro Islam by any stretch of the imagination.

I'm South Asian, as mentioned I didnt vote, but I am happy a 'paki' did a good mainstream thing. I hope he does a good job and doesnt bring religion/race into it. I would be happy. The UK South Asians are doing ok, but there are certain problems (grooming and Islamisation).

Khan, Patel and Javid are not all Muslims, one is, one is Hindu and one seems to have no religion. They are all South Asian. Their rising up is about South Asian success, not a story about 'MUSLIM man becomes Mayor of London' clickbait. You gotta look at the big picture. It's not about Islam, though that is what the Islamists would want you to think. Islam wants everything to be about itself. One of the first things you learn in Muslim school, YOU ARE A MUSLIM FIRST.

Once when I was playing poker in a casino, one white English guy started making table talk with me, casually referring to me as a Londoner. I noticed the he didnt talk much to the accented white European immigrants. And I think that's what it comes down to, where you are born and raised, how you speak etc. It seems alot of Europeans have a problem seeing British born South Asians/Africans accepted by white English people. I reckon some of those EE immigrants (coming from largely white countries) may have thought the white English would embrace them as kin only to find themselves well below British born Brown and Black people in the social heirarchy. It's all about how you speak.

I mean Sadiq Khan is not exactly a bearded robe wearing extremist (atleast it does'nt appear that way) so I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. Also, I'm not sure anyone from outside London/England (Europeans/Americans) will have a deep enough understanding of demographics and community cohesion in London to be making the sort of apocolyptic suggestions that I've seen here.

I get the impression many off the posts in this thread are simply instances of thinly veiled base racism, which I am happy to challenge.

Have you even read this thread? Have you even read the OP, here let me paste this summary for you from it:

He was a consultant to one of the 9/11 conspirators.
He referred to moderate Muslims as "uncle Toms"
He's been on platform with nasty radical Imams and defended them.

And then you go on to play the race card on top of it? Wtf are you an SJW? Gtfo man. A religion is not a race so that alone makes me think you don't know what you are even chatting about, the rest of your post is equally as full of crap. Is it so hard to believe that the British want UK to remain British? To remain ruled by native Brits?

Just....wtf

[scorpion]

In twenty years London will either be a Sharia zone or will have expelled its entire Muslim population by force.

Two futures. One choice. It's coming.

I think we are witnessing peak Islam atm. Actually, I reckon it peaked a few years ago.

It should be known that calling someone a paki with as much hate is just as bad as the n word. I've had it used on me and I've seen people use it in a derogatory context.

Not my decision but that kind of hate doesn't belong on the forum at all.

We have a lot of South Asian forum members here that add a lot of value.

I wonder how many people who are posting on this thread live in London, are familiar with London, are British South Asians or familiar with British Muslims?

There's a lot of scaremongering in this thread - London won't suddenly turn into sharia zone. Sadiq Khan is part of the Labour Party machine and is very SJW. He's pro gay marriage for example. The average Muslim is definetly not pro gay. There's no chance of London going Islamic any time soon.

However, there was one motherhood who did try to push Islamic stuff in an area of London - Lutfur Rahman. He got kicked out of his job:

Quote:

Lutfur Rahman, the Bangladesh-born Muslim elected mayor of Tower Hamlets, East London, was accused by BBC's Panorama of doubling public funding to Bangladeshi and Somali Muslim groups from £1.3 million ($2.9m) to £3.6 million ($6m) at the recommendation of council officers.

The Secretary for the Department for Communities and Local Government [DCLG], Eric Pickles, had apparently sent inspectors into Tower Hamlets to investigate Rahman's activities. But when, on April 4, the Metropolitan Police Service received three files from the DCLG, and police investigators reviewed the allegations, they found no evidence of fraud or other offenses. In response, Mr. Rahman labeled BBC's Panorama report as having "clear racist and Islamophobic overtones targeting the Bangladeshi Muslim community in Tower Hamlets."

Rahman, a solicitor specializing in family law, describes himself as a liberal and a social democrat. But many consider him as secretive, sly, inept, anti-gay and a frontman for Islamists. The question now in London, before local elections on May 22, is whether Rahman is a liberal or actually a fundamentalist.

In September 2010, Lutfur Rahman was selected by the Tower Hamlets Labour Party as its candidate for the first directly elected mayor of the borough. The party's national executive committee removed him as the party's candidate, however, after an allegation that he was closely linked with the Islamic Forum of Europe, an Islamic fundamentalist group. The Islamic Forum of Europe has a youth wing, Young Muslim Organization, based in Tower Hamlets and established mainly by the Bangladeshi expatriates.
....

Abdul Gaffar Chawdhury, a Bangladeshi journalist, who lived in London for more than three decades, wrote in an April 16 article in a national Bengali newspaper, that Tower Hamlets has become a stronghold for Jamaat-e-Islam, a Wahhabi religious and political group. He writes, "Some progressive Bangladeshi expatriates, living in London, are now labeling the borough under Lutfur Rahman as 'Islamic Republic of Tower Hamlets'." Chawdhury continues that in 1980s and 1990s, Tower Hamlets was a center of cultural movement and progressive people, but that after Rahman became mayor, unfortunately it turned into a den for Jamaat-e-Islam.

In 2008, Rahman, then the council leader, received a visit from the controversial Saudi cleric Sheikh Adel Al-Kalbani, who last year was refused entry into Britain. At the time, Al-Kalbani's visit gave Rahman -- also a close ally of Anjem Choudhury, the well known Islamist and spokesman for the Islamist group Islam4UK -- the image of an Islamist sympathizer. The former head Imam of Mecca, Al-Kalbani was in London's East End to meet local council leaders for a "private meeting" at Tower Hamlets. The meeting was hugely controversial as Rahman and others held it behind closed doors and refused to disclose what was discussed.

Rahman, who is again standing for the post of Executive Mayor again this month, has never discouraged some of the Islamic values that seem incompatible with the modern European era. Instead he apparently found it worrying that some Muslim women were anglicizing their names and removing their hijabs. On September 18, at a reception ceremony arranged by the Greater Sylhet Development & Welfare Council, Mayor Rahman said, "We Bangladeshis are not only Members of Parliament and a Mayor here, but also a big part of British economy. In future, we will see more Bangladeshi representatives here, and one day our representatives will govern this country."

The fucker was eventually kicked out for electoral fraud:

Quote:

A former London mayor has declared himself bankrupt sparking a High Court battle over half a million pounds of legal costs.

Lutfur Rahman was elected as mayor of Tower Hamlets, but he was removed from office after being found guilty of corrupt and illegal practices after accusations of claiming racism and Islamophobia to silence his critics.

Four voters, led writer and filmmaker Andy Erlam, had taken legal action against him under the provisions of the Representation of the People Act.

He was found guilty of wrongdoing in by Election Commissioner Richard Mawrey after an Election Court trial in London in April this year.

Rahman is the first person since the 19th century to be found guilty of the Victorian-era misdeed of unlawfully using religious influence.

He was ordered to pay the voters' legal costs, estimated to be around £500,000 and was also forced to pay £250,000 at the time.

South Asians are no strangers to London culture...look at Zac Goldsmith (who lost against Sadiq Khan) his sister (Jemima Goldsmith) is a Muslim, she converted to Islam after marrying the Pakistani Cricketer Imran Khan. He was twice her age at the time - game recognised.



Boris Johnson's wife Marina Wheeler is half Indian

[pitt]

I couldn't care less what race is the mayor of London but if you live in London, you know how south Asians operate. South Asians usually only employ their own and once they join a company and get to the top of the chain, they start recruiting their family and friends to come work with them.

Never, ever have I seen an Asian Business in London that employed people from different races. Hopefully the mayor being a Muslim wont have much impact on how politics is run here.

I love how this thread is bringing out of the woodwork the bigots — most of whom have never set foot in England, let alone London — that pine for the cleansing of Britain of anyone with a skin tone a shade darker than lily-white.



But there, the word "racism" isn't kosher depending on whom it's directed against.

I live in London. I've been avoiding this thread, but it seems the islamocucks have come out in force.

I find all occurrences of Islam appearing as an insult to English culture.

I live in South East London in a "vibrant" neighborhood. I chose this place because the price was good and it had a parking spot for my car. My little neighborhood is an enclave of white people surrounded by Afro-carribeans and other mid-easterners. However, there is a growing presence of all black burqas infesting the area.

Thankfully, I make a decent amount of cash but for the long haul I don't think for a second i will end up making England my long term home. The muslim infestation and multicult that is running rampant in these middle to low income neighborhoods makes me question how safe my children would be going to a school here.

Unless I make three times my income, there is no way I could afford a house, a private Christian school, or any good school for that matter.

One of these days, I'd love to drive through the west end with some big boom boxes at 6am blasting a Muslim call to prayer. See how well those rich bellends like their multiculti BS playing at 6am.

So today we have had apologues given by the police for the "Suicide Bomber" in a terrorist training drill shouting "Allah Akbar".
