[quote]Sadiq Khan baby balloon crowdfunding SMASHES target in outrage over Trump protest
SADIQ Khan may be forced to approve a request from protesters seeking to float a huge balloon depicting him as a giant baby after the initial crowdfunding target to have the blimp made was smashed in less than a week.Demonstrators are planning to have the huge Sadiq Khan baby balloon fly over London to protest the Mayor's decision to allow an "angry baby Trump" balloon to float as part of a protest against US President Donald Trump's official visit to the UK.

The crowdfunding had a £10,000 starting target but was soon smashed, with critics of Mr Khan donating nearly £53,000 in less than a week.

Yanni Bruere, the man behind the initiative, told talkRADIO: "I was pretty irritated with Sadiq Khan and his willingness to insult the most powerful man in the western world.

"This is someone who is a friend of Britain, who is half-British himself. Two can play at that game, if they can do it, then we can."[/quote]

So the alt right are triggered into a tit for tat response?

Immitation is the most sincere form of flattery.

I bet the Sadiq balloon gets a full 25 Tommy Robinson fans waving it, unlike the 250,000 who joined the anti trump protest. 😘

@Burnley123 😂😂😂

@room101 that's almost as big as the lower estimates of trump's inauguration... 300K.

@CopperCicada I know. There have been all sorts of memes made already, showing aerial views as comparisons. OK, our London streets are narrower but......
I know. It boggles the mind that people would disrespect the most powerful man in the world. Who would have thought it?

@CopperCicada "We are not racist!" "Just because we disagree with the president doesn't make us racist!" "You guys are tender little snowflakes!" "Why every time we mention politics do you play the race card?"

😐

@CopperCicada Definitely! Even some people on here have referred to Obama as a half breed black. Those racists can dish it but can't take it when it's their turn.

Great. File this under "I'm Rubber and You're Glue," please.

Somehow I suspect Khan won't give a damn if there's a balloon of him flying about. He'd probably go wave at it and drop some ironic interviews in front of it.

@CopperCicada He did a talk one which was disrupted by 'British patriots'.

After which he apologised that his talk was interrupted by 'stable geniuses'. 😆

😂

My sister-in-law predicted the other day that would happen.

Of course, he'll probably try to deny the permit as some anti-Muslim thing.

I just hope his diaper doesn't leak.

@room101 [quote]Did I say that you did?[/quote]

You repeated the same thing in [b]THREE[/b] different responses to [b]my[/b] remarks.

So I felt it necessary to [b]OTHER[/b] readers than I [b][u]never[/u][/b] said it actually happened.

@beckyromero Please note that my responses have been very brief. If you want to infer something from them that isn't there or argue about something that I've never said or implied, then have at it 👍

@room101

Argue with you?

Oh, come on now.

Hands across the sea and all that.

It's funny, the trump balloon obviously pissed some people off, but nobody is going to give a shit about this, least of all Khan himself.

I suppose you don't really understand politics... XD

Where is this Sadiq Khan baby balloon supposed to flying? Other than in your imagination that is

😂😂😂

Watch that maggot get pissed off at being the brunt of worldwide ridicule.
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@katielass Well, he promised to be a good sport about it, so I don't really see him getting too huffy about it. [quote]Asked whether he would have been fine had the balloon represented him, the London Mayor said: "If it's peaceful and safe, yes. It's not for me to decide what's in good taste or bad taste.

"My views are irrelevant. The issue is, do they have the freedom to protest, freedom to assemble, and should they be allowed to do so? If it's peaceful and it's safe, then they should do so."[/quote]

@Heartlander We interrupt the trumpette made up facts broadcast to give you statistics provided by the Metropolitan Police for the period 5th April 2016/17 to 5th April 2017/18.

Rape up from 6,510 to 7,707 an increase of 18.39%
Total theft (including handling) up from 305,876 to 330,511 an increase of 8.05%
Homicide up from 101 to 153 an increase of 51.49%
Burglary (both domestic and business) up from 69,528 to 77,626 an increase of 11.65%
Use of offensive weapons (including guns and knives) up from 5,575 to 6,974 an increase of 25.09%

Total population of London 8,173,941 (as of 2011 ie the last time we held a census. The next one will be held in 2021).

[i]“I talk to police officers in London desperately worried about the fact we're losing 3,000 officers from our streets.”

Stella Creasy MP, 9 November 2017

The Metropolitan Police expects it could lose around 3,000 police officers by 2020, according to Cressida Dick, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.

Commissioner Dick told a committee of MPs that the Met Police expects to have to make savings of £400 million between now and 2020. She said that this was the Met’s current “planning assumption” and relied on projections for things like inflation, the exchange rate and pay settlements remaining the same over the next few years.

This scenario would lead to police officer numbers in the Met falling to “between 27,500 and 28,000”, from the current level of “over 30,000”. Commissioner Dick then confirmed that she expected numbers to fall by around 3,000.[/i]
