That will be up to the electorate of London.Would anybody rather have Khan than him ?
That will be up to the electorate of London.
Not at all.
I am asking each individual whether they'd rather have Khan as mayor than Fox.
I am not asking how the mayor is elected or for anybody to predict the result.

It is absolutely up to the electorate of London regardless of what the AVFTT political clique think.
Fox has got absolutely no chance of winning btw.
Would anybody rather have Khan than him ?
Yes. I’d prefer Khan. He gets stick from some on here but no one actually says why or which of his policies they object to.Would anybody rather have Khan than him ?
That will take you some time asking every individual in London but kudos for the extensive research.Not at all.

A view from the Hoi Poloi upper class liberal. Smiles.It wouldn't be much of a choice, but yes, I would, certainly.
One is a career politician with broadly decent instincts but not much talent or presence.
The other is a nasty, reactionary weirdo who has nothing to offer other than populist (and not very well thought out) posturing.
I think Khan will win, this is a Labour city these days.
Yes, working class man of the people Fox has no chance fitting in to upper class society.Fox doesn’t stand a chance, London is full of hoi polloi upper class liberals like Basilrobbie.
To be fair LF may well come from a privileged background but his politics don’t reflect that. I stand by my post, and Robbies post only backs up mine with his comment on London now being a Labour city.Yes, the man of the people Fox has no chance fitting in to upper class society.
Indeed, conspiracy theories, racism and Covid denying really are just the preserve of the working man.To be fair LF may well come from a privileged background but his politics don’t reflect that.

I wanted to like White Lines because Daniel Mays is always worth watching but gave up after two episodes, it was junk TV.Fox is a knob and a crap actor. Anyone see him in White Lines? What happened to Rory Stewart I thought he was campaigning? Although I couldn’t care less. What about the West Midlands Mayor, it’s about as relevant.
What are you on about ?, I’m a working man and I don’t do conspiracy theories, I. Not a racist ( despite what you think) Shaun Bailey should get the job, and I don’t deny COVID so i don’t understand your reply. I. Pretty sure LF isn't really a working class man either.Indeed, conspiracy theories, racism and Covid denying really are just the preserve of the working man.
Again, I can type more slowly if it helps?What are you on about ?, I’m a working man and I don’t do conspiracy theories, I.

Can’t help yourself can you.Again, I can type more slowly if it helps?
Well if we're discussing not being able to help one's self you were the one who appeared out of thin air on this thread having a pop at another poster, it's not up to me to then have to explain subsequent posts directed at you is it?Can’t help yourself can you.
Who did I have a pop at ?Well you were the one who appeared out of thin air on this thread having a pop at another poster, it's not up to me to then have to explain subsequent posts directed at you is it?
Thin air ? Wtf is that all about ?Who did I have a pop at ?
I’m not, is this not a politics board ? They are ploiticians are they not, therefore they get discussed on a politics thread.Scara, can I ask why are you so bothered about the Mayor of London and the President of America?
Haha so you wander off whistling without answering my question.*wanders off whistling at another job well triggered*
You know full well who you had a pop at as you literally named him in your post .Haha so you wander off whistling without answering my question.
I think you will find I didn’t, I merely used his own words to describe himself from a previous post.You know full well who you had a pop at as you literally named him in your post .
Hed make a better job than that clown In the job at the minute.Bidding to be London mayor and if successful will end lockdown totally on May 6th
I’m still not sure who you’d vote for. I sort of get the impression you favour Fox over Khan but I don’t want to put words in your mouth.I think you will find I didn’t, I merely used his own words to describe himself from a previous post.
Don’t be naughty mex, you know I’m not a fan of identity politics Kahn, while he’s fucked about spouting nonsense knife crime is at a ridiculous high in the capital. If I was going to pick someone I would pick Shaun Bailey, comes a cross as a level headed type of guy that doesn’t have an agenda. Now I fully expect you to go on the offensive with some big words chucked in to try and bamboozle me and you will no doubt ignore anything I’ve said in this reply. ( Awaits for all your mates to join in )I’m still not sure who you’d vote for. I sort of get the impression you favour Fox over Khan but I don’t want to put words in your mouth.
So maybe you can say:
1. Who you prefer? And
2. Why?
Then we can have a proper discussion rather than a ding dong.
Well 2020s question was do you prefer Khan v Fox which is why I asked the questions I did. You haven’t answered that but have stated your preference so fair dos.Don’t be naughty mex, you know I’m not a fan of identity politics Kahn, while he’s fucked about spouting nonsense knife crime is at a ridiculous high in the capital.

Fox may well split the vote, but I think he’s pissing in the wind personally, regards Bailey from posts I’ve seen on Twatter he seems to be saying the right things. But as we know what they say and what they do are two different things. But you have to believe in someone, and that they may be able to do a better job than the person sitting in the big seat. Obviously I don’t get to vote on the outcome so I’m only expressing an opinion. The proof will be in the pudding but I cant agree with anyone that tells me Kahn has been a good mayor.Well 2020s question was do you prefer Khan v Fox which is why I asked the questions I did.

So a couple of questions:
1. Do think Fox might pull support away from Bailey? And split the vote?
2. What would Bailey do differently about knife crime in London?
I think you will find I didn’t, I merely used his own words to describe himself from a previous post.
Still not sure why you have it in for Khan. The only thing I can pick up is that it’s associated with knife crime.Fox may well split the vote, but I think he’s pissing in the wind personally, regards Bailey from posts I’ve seen on Twatter he seems to be saying the right things.

I just dont feel he’s given it his best shot regards knife crime and gangs, he seems too busy moaning about statues and whinging about congestion charges. I’m not saying Bailey will get it right but eventually someone has too, so why not Bailey.Still not sure why you have it in for Khan. The only thing I can pick up is that it’s associated with knife crime.
Assuming I’m right and that is the issue then the number of homicides in London in 2020 was 126. A lot of people I grant you but in 2003 it was 221. And similar figures for the years around then. Much higher.
And I’m not clear on what Bailey will do that Khan isn’t to address the problem?
The man is totally inept and out of his depth.Still not sure why you have it in for Khan. The only thing I can pick up is that it’s associated with knife crime.

Let’s not fight about it, but you did class yourself in one of your posts as being part of the Hoi polloi.I don't ever remember doing that, but if I did I was taking the piss, because the phrase makes no sense whatsoever. I mean, you can't be upper class AND be a member of the hoi polloi, can you?

Nope, I wouldn’t do that as there’s too many of you to call me out. Fact.So you made the rest up then?
