Paul Golding sucks at Simon Says.Sadly though, I am disgusted (but not surprised) to see "Britain First" candidate Paul Golding turn his back during Khan's acceptance speech.
I feel like I'm the only person who feels that this sort of thing isn't something worth celebrating. As in, it's no more or less important than someone of any other faith or descent taking up a position in power.
We're a multi-cultural society, so this is just yet another politician that I largely don't agree with.

If we're such a multi-cultural society then how come it took this long for it to be a first? Racism isn't over. Minorities are still persecuted. It's kind of a big deal that you have the son of a bus driver and not part of a uber wealthy family become the Mayor, and that he's pro-LGBT more so than previous mayors (Boris Johnson hadn't attended Pride parade since 2010) or other candidates which means more police to monitor hate crimes and better housing for LGBT youth who are kicked out and end up homeless. He understands the struggles. It's kind of rare from a muslim figure and is something to celebrate.

Lmao
I don't get it.
I know major is subjective but I doubt people think of Rotterdam as major.
I don't get it.
London Evening Standard is 'Tory mouthpiece' research
Media Reform Coalition says free newspaper shows overwhelming bias towards Conservative Zac Goldsmith
Thirteen out of 15 official press releases from the Goldsmith campaign released during the two months to 12 April were published as news stories in the paper, reproducing headlines from the news release virtually verbatim, according to the study produced by the Media Reform Coalition and Goldsmiths University of London.
There were almost twice as many positive headlines about Goldsmith than for his Labour rival Sadiq Khan, who was the subject of twice as many negative headlines. Whats more, Khans press releases were far less frequently covered.
The research, published on Wednesday night, stopped well before Tuesdays front page story trumpeting David Camerons view that Britain will pay the price if Sadiq Khan is elected mayor.
Religion and politics don't mix... So I certainly hope that he won't. I have no idea which, if any, religion our politicians ascribe to and they would never advertise it either.
The only people to bring up his religion as a major point have been those opposing him.

Shameful behaviour but the response to this on Twitter is hilarious.
Seems like some Tories are furious wih Zac tactic to discredit Sadiq, will be interesting to see how this pans out, I don't think he's an islamaphobe, his nephews are British Pakistanis which makes his manouver against Khan even more puzzling.
Brilliant response.
I don't get it.
Free newspapers should be banned from having any sort of clear political bias.The first image is the Standard's front page when Conservative Boris Johson won the mayoral election in 2008, beating Labour's Ken Livingstone (following a ridiculously biased coverage of the contest). The second image is their front page when Sadiq Khan won yesterday, following similarly biased coverage.
The point is that the Standard is an unashamedly Conservative paper. It is given away free in the evening at nearly every tube station and carries considerable influence.
Means nothing
At the time that Friday front page was printed (Friday early afternoon) the results weren't out yet.
The front page even instructs you to watch the results for London Mayor come in on their website as the results weren't ready for print.

How can David Cameron and Sadiq Khan happen in the same country?
Congrats to Mayor Khan and London itself for overcoming attempts to let racial and religious tensions decide how London should be led.
Sadly though, I am disgusted (but not surprised) to see "Britain First" candidate Paul Golding turn his back during Khan's acceptance speech.
Lol that dumbass with his back turned looks like he's taking a piss.

Nonsense. The day before the election their headline was about Zac Goldsmith. At the time of printing Khan was ahead, and on course to win.Means nothing

Religion and politics don't mix, so it makes me uncomfortable that his is such a big issue.
This is my 2nd fav tweet after that one
Lmao
