A shiny new mayor for London

GASP as a Muslim is elected mayor and doesn't do anything anyone else wouldn't do !
GROAN with exasperation as a news reporter pulls teeth from Michael Fallon to get him to answer a simple question !
BE AMAZED as British politics hasn't gone completely caca after all !


But Mr Corbyn was absent from Mr Khan's swearing-in ceremony earlier on Saturday. Mr Khan - who nominated but did not vote for Mr Corbyn in the Labour leadership contest - said he was "not sure" why, adding: "We'll have to find out what he was doing."

Speaking later, Mr Khan said he was disappointed by the "negative and divisive" nature of Mr Goldsmith's mayoral campaign, which focused on Mr Khan's alleged links to Islamic extremists. But his victory, he said, was a rejection of the politics of "fear".

Defence Secretary Michael Fallon - who called Mr Khan a "Labour lackey who speaks alongside extremists" during the race - defended the Conservatives' approach, saying it was legitimate to put a candidate under scrutiny. Repeatedly challenged over whether he believed Mr Khan was a security risk to London, Mr Fallon said: "London is safe with a Conservative government working with the new mayor of London."

  4. If he is a true politician, he will "lull you to sleep" and then behead you, take your kids and eat them, and then have sex with all the "womenfolk"... according to things I've "heard". Yet, there are *extremists", that wouldn't think twice before killing everyone and burning their bodies... Truly strange mindset.
