"It illustrates perfectly that labour have no intention of ever reforming out of date antiquated practises such as the honours system. " The Torys were in power for 13 years Labour less than 6 and you expect the to have done everything straight away? That seems unreasonable to me. | |||

Perhaps we shouldn't expect the system to have changed so quickly, but we also wouldn't expect rewards such as this one. | |||

"Maybe the reward was for his environmental work? Or his charity work? He raised £89.3 million in 2023/24! Did you know that? He’s also done a lot for educating society across the classes. An example being the fining of drivers in London and the surrounding areas under the guise of reducing green house gases. I think that’s where the 89 million came from but who knows really, I’m from rural Lincolnshire so can’t understand big numbers like that. Anyway this fining doesn’t apply to everyone obviously because some people work really hard and are honest so can afford to pay to travel in their cars. This simple act also reinforces a tiered society so classes don’t get muddled up about where they sit on the ladder reducing confusion. He could have just banned all cars, stopping exhaust fumes n’ that which could have been been a bit better for polar bears and trees n stuff but why do that? That wouldn’t make money and plus polar bears don’t actually contribute to the economy very much and they don’t look like a minority so they are probably ok. Plus the trees have their own section in London don’t they? He’s not an eco-fascist that’s unfair btw" What charities has he donated to and is interested in?  | |||

" And Saddo Khan has been in 'power' for about 12 years. During that time knife crime has accelerated, an unworkable ULEZ system has been introduced and the once safe, vibrant city has become a bit of a dump. Hardly a great achievement. Certainly not one to be rewarded. | |||

"You lot should all move to London and vote him out if it bothers you so much" I did. I voted for the fat fascist woman (forgot her name) , just to get him out as I knew the woman wouldn't be up to task and would only last one term and by that time Sadiq wouldve fucked off. | |||

"You lot should all move to London and vote him out if it bothers you so much" The turn out is under 50%, so more people should vote if they want a different outcome. | |||

"It illustrates perfectly that labour have no intention of ever reforming out of date antiquated practises such as the honours system. " Doubt any government could end it whilst democracy remains, it is a system that seems to have the same logic to its popularity as that of the royalty. Government in power actually has no control and are following an administrative rubber stamping role. Candidates for honours are identified by public or private bodies, by government departments, or are nominated by members of the public. The honours committees decide which nominations are approved and each committee is made up of people from across the political spectrum and are independent of the government. | |||

"Do you know what? Maybe, unless you live in London, it’s frankly none of our business. I am so tired of people from London complaining about Khan. When Londoners had the chance to get rid, they stayed at home. Yep he was re-elected and it makes no difference that the turnout was poor. The truth is Londoners stayed at home rather than get him out. That tells me that Londoners, overall, are happy with him. So, London, suck it up, you had your chance. " I was worried for a second that the capital city and those who the country elevate and celebrate had an impact on the rest of the country and its image. I’m gonna go for a Greggs  | |||

Yes Khans cutbacks, nothing to do with the tories reducing funding by approx 20% leading to police officers falling from 33k to less than 30k within 7 years (2010-2017). Also, he’s increased the portion of the mayors precept allocated to the met police to hire more officers, and since 2017 to present there is around 35k officers now.

There’s no stats I can find knowing the number of rejoiners, but your original point was saying that the cutbacks were due to sadiq khan. However, from 2010-2017 funding had already been cut by 20% and the force went from 33k to below 30k officers, sadiq became the major in 2016. You’re blaming him for the cutbacks but you didn’t mention anything about the Tory government. Don’t let the facts effect your narrative though | |||

Just as the daily fail etc have done today, which shows their intent is just to cause harm to the country. | |||

"I'm not a fan of David Beckham and find it strange that an irrelevant like Khan gets a knighthood over Beckham who has done a lot more for the country that that useless Khant Khan "What exactly has beckham done? Other than pimp himself out to every middle east state going in a rabid attempt to hoover up more money... Super, knight him. | |||

"Seems strange that everyone is so outraged. Where was that outrage when Johnson put the Russian son of a KGB agent in the House of Lords. Perhaps we could discuss Charlotte Owen and what she did to deserve a seat in the HoL. Anyone heard from Baroness Mone lately...thought not." Exactly | |||

An interesting - theoretical - opinion from someone living in Nottingham, albeit an opinion that reads like it was cut & pasted from ‘the brochure’ for ULEZs and LTNs, so offers little added-value. However, it is much more enlightening to read of the experiences, albeit of just one individual in London, who is actually living on a daily basis with the costs, practical realities, and plethora of cameras associated with these policies. Sadly, to enjoy the benefits you quote, you may need to move to London, given Nottingham cancelled plans for a clean air zone when modelling revealed it was not necessary in order to reduce air pollution. They also have no plans for any LTNs. | |||

"It illustrates perfectly that labour have no intention of ever reforming out of date antiquated practises such as the honours system. The Torys were in power for 13 years Labour less than 6 and you expect the to have done everything straight away? That seems unreasonable to me. . Be good if they had tried to make a start. Instead we have unemployment rising. Inflation up . Immigrants entering the country with no control. Massive unrest including street riots, they seem to manage all that in 6 months" .... .... You think the nascent Labour administration was to blame for the riots? Perhaps you should consider the role played by the likes of Robinson and the eejits who took to the streets to express their hatred of asylum seekers and islam. 'No control'... What about the record increase in people crossing the channel in the first half of 2024... Asylum seekers dropped off in Central London and left to their own devices. That'll be when Cruella was Home Secretary. Economic considerations. Listen to the lassie in Bristol. Sara not Brenda. Happy New Year D, sorry Paul... | |||

"London is the home of the metropolitan liberal elite. " It's home to all sorts of people, the majority of whom have voted three times for Khan to be mayor. Many of those will have voted for him because they agree with his policies, whilst others will have seen it as a vote against the appalling Tory government. Some are so blind that they blame Khan for the introduction of policies that have their roots in Conservative government. Some even blame him for increases in crime that again, have been directly caused by Tory cuts and misguided actions by Theresa May and her ilk. | |||

" Muslim might have some bearing on it since that particular ideology is not exactly welcoming to what we get up to on this site. His height and skin tone to not come into the equation at all. I do find something rather unpleasant about him though from what I've seen of him on television. Something quite sinister about him. | |||

Yes I live in Lutterworth but I work in west London and employ 30 people who live in London, we think he's done a great job unlike Andy Street in Birmingham that did fuck all" ... I have friends and family who live in London and they think the vitriol towards Khan is crass and largely unwarranted. It is also possible to form an opinion of the man as a politician through media that is objective and not bound by ideology,polemic or allegiance. The whole idea of a forum is that anyone can contribute. You must comment on issues/events away from your home town? It's like when people whine about others commenting on American politics. | |||
