Many in London don't think Khan is doing a particularly good job, they shouldn't have to defend themselves as not racist just to hold that opinion.

There are probably examples of others in this thread doing/saying things that could be considered racist but I'm not seeing it from Marty as an individual so probably unfair just to lump him in with others who are probably much further to the right. After all we have been told a few times not to tar all lefties with the same brush as far left fruit loops so should probably work both ways.

Anyway, as you rightly mentioned we should probably put all this racist/accusations of racist stuff to bed.

Have you seen the polling in London? He could basically rape a Chelsea Pensioner on the Cenotaph and still get elected.

As I say have a discussion about performance all you like, have a discussion about cultural differences, just don’t parrot the racists. Practice information hygiene. Same as if you don’t want to be called a conspiracy theorist don’t parrot conspiracy theorists.

This is it, you won't debate, because hes Muslim it's straight to the you must be racist if you disagree. Where it's not, I haven't said anything racist against him have I? Hes an idiot for saying too London to carry on as normal. It's on par with the hug a Chinese campaign in Italy.

Can you tell me how much of a say Khan has? Does he have the right to make laws or does he have to go with the flow?

I'll answer for you. He can only go with the law. He can't shut down transport. Maybe he could advise a little more. But that is all he is allowed to do. The idiots are not listening to advice.

I'm answering the questions put forward to what has happened in the last month or so.

Some are trying to make out that he decides what happens in London. Yes he is a Labour Mayor. But a Labour Mayor governed by the Tories. He can only rule with the rules given by the Tories. He can't be blamed for what is happening.

If the Tories had said the opposite of what he is doing then he would be at fault. But he hasn't. So you can't blame him for what is happening.

Which brings us back to reality. Do we blame the Tories? Do we blame Khan? Do we blame the idiots?

Some people will use their political preference to make a point. Some will use their own intelligence to work out what is the problem. The answer is a bit of everything. Bit leaning on the side of what the idiots are doing.

Well from what I've read Khan largely agrees with the Tories atm, he himself doesn't want to see more restrictions.

I would blame the idiots more than anyone personally.

Yeah, well I've heard they've blocked routes into the Lake District. Derbyshire Police busy around the Peak District too. National Trust places closed, parks closed etc.

And there is your problem. Most want to blame the Tories or Khan. And it can be spun whichever way you prefer.

None can be blamed for everything. But I would love to see someone trying to defend the idiots.

Dublin people apparently all loaded up in motorhomes & caravans trying to get to the South & West of the country- I think 60%+ all cases are in Dublin so far, so these fuckers obviously fancy spreading it around a bit.. I wondered what was going on, population here where I live is about 200 but there were police driving round, thought it was overkill- now I know, its cause they're trying to catch people taking the back roads. Back roads in Ireland is a brave move in itself, it would take days to get anywhere..

So what have the Tories said should happen that Khan has ignored?

That’s not the question I posed

When you last posted you said the army would be in and we’d have full military lockdown. Rubbish wasn’t it?

The fatality numbers are in but interesting wording accompanying the English numbers on Guardian online (which goes towards supporting why looking at daily death rate alone is pretty irrelevant)

Wales - 41
Scotland - 81
England - 765

total 887

‘Of the 765 new hospital deaths announced today by NHS England, 140 occurred on April 8 while 568 took place between April 1 and April 7.

The remaining 57 deaths occurred in March, including two on March 19 and one on March 16’

Not sure what to read into that so won’t even try. Let’s hope confirmed case numbers are stable (ideally lower) and CC bed capacity is similar to yesterday

There is no debate because are a fucking cretin who is horribly wrong.

I genuinely think you are a racist because you would not attack a white politician for following government advice.

Yet some had a go at me for saying this would happen. The only problem is that the Tories took their time in doing so. And they still haven't said it clear enough.

The idiots need to know they need to stay at home. They need to realise they are not above the rest of us.

You are an obnoxious twat.

I said what had happened elsewhere. This is the only thing that hadn't happened. So you ignore the rest and back the Tories. I wasn't making it up. If I had I would have been wrong on businesses closing, schools closing, fines being introduced an the lockdown happening. Not my fault that the Tories could have done more.

As we say each day it is the day the are reported on not the day they die on. If you die today but they confirm it as covid-19 on tuesday and report the death you would ge in Tuesdays figures

You truly are the king of whataboutism aren't you? I don't think you ever make an argument on here that isn't just bringing up something completely irrelevant that someone else has done to defend your side of the argument.

I think you know that stuff like handing out permits for balloons and ordering a complete lockdown of a city are on a completely different scale and wouldn't be covered by the same departments or require the same levels of authorisation. I know you're obviously intentionally missing the point of Astute's post in an attempt at a 'gotcha' moment but come on.

Saw a story that they'd turned a family from Wigan around (family of 6) and escorted them back to the M6. I seriously do not understand what is wrong with some people. I know not everybody has a garden or outside space, but a family of 6 from Wigan is likely to.
