Thanks for posting that Henry.

Thanks for that. I thought it odd there was no thread yesterday and used it to back my ever growing feeling that antipathy must be at its highest now.

Yes, when we instead had a thread for the Kent police commissioner!

An uninspiring choice of candidates from the 2 main parties, neither has really caught the imagination as an individual as Ken and Boris did.

Very interesting stat from BBC on the Projected National Share of the vote had this been a General Election based on votes cast in this election.
Labour 31%
Conservative 30%
Lib Dem 15%
UKIP 12%
Other 12%

It's interesting, but if it was a General Election, the voting may have been different.

Hardly surprised. Son of a hard working immigrant or rich Tory boy?

Err... let me think!

Your point being? We can all throw around links, and as the internet provides a platform for every opinion to be shared - regardless of merit - it actually means very little.

http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2016/05/is-it-islamophobic-to-draw-attention-to-sadiq-khans-links-with-extremists/

There needs to be some thorough investigation surrounding why so much of the pre-election discussions were based entirely around things such as:

- Sadiq Khan once stood on stage with some very nasty chaps.
- Zac Goldsmith is Islamophobic to point that out.
- Sadiq Khan's dad drove a bus.
- Zac Goldsmith is rich.

It's poor, it's uninspiring and it's actually quite a depressing assessment of the candidates - candidates whom without political affiliations and cultural and economic bias would both have been the last people to be considered to be Mayor of London. It also underlines the issue of how much a debate can be stiffled via claims of "Islamophobia", which is problematic in itself.

What should well be a monumental occassion for not only our City, but our nation - the son of an immigrant, who happens to be Muslim, gaining one of the most important political roles in the country - is actually rather unflattering in this context.

If this is in reference to Suliman Gani then I suggest you inform yourself on his political links and leanings. Of course I don't believe either candidate supports terrorism or has legitimate terrorist links but just goes to show that you can't believe everything someone says when there is evidence to show that they are a hypocrite, but some people will believe anything based on prejudices.

As posted above the tactics that have been used against Khan this campaign due to his ethnicity have been outrageous. Glad to see some Tories condemning it.

palarsehater

well zac goldsmith went down the route of calling sadiq khan a terrorist sympathiser etc so that would of lost him nearly every ethnic minority vote.

in answer to your question @Leuth

You're point being? We can both throw around links..

http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2016/05/is-it-islamophobic-to-draw-attention-to-sadiq-khans-links-with-extremists/

There needs to be some serious questions raised as to why so much of the pre-election discussions centered around:

- Sadiq Khan once stood on stage with some very nasty chaps;
- Zac Goldsmith is Islamophobic to point that out;
- Sadiq Khan's dad drove a bus;
- Zac Goldsmith is rich;

It's poor, it's uninspiring and it's a depressing state of affairs. Both candidates played a dirty game to be entirely honest, but the nonsense of "Islamophobia" being a way of closing down legitimate questions over a candidate's background is very troublesome.

What should well have been a monumental occassion for our City - the son of an immigrant, who happens to be Muslim, gaining one of the most important political roles in the country - is actually rather unflattering in context.

I would have thought that my “point being” was rather obvious.

The link I posted was a interview with the Leader of the Conservative Group on the Greater London Assembly over the past 4 years who as soon as the polls closed yesterday went on Newsnight to deliver a comprehensive criticism of Zac Goldsmith’s Mayoral campaign and it’s attempts to link Sadiq Khan with extremism, and the damage that that has done to the Conservative Party and to community relations in London.

Because politics has never included damage control, has it? Goldsmith has found himself facing a backlash over this campaign, and as such it's within the Conservative interest to therefore write this election off and play damage control - by condemning him from all angles.
