He’s a major player in London, usually got something to say, but he doesn’t even seem to have been there on (arguably) the biggest occasion in London in decades.
It’s noticeable. "
Bro, do you even live here? What’s your own? |

‘the box thing’?
Genuine question. I watched loads of the tv, I must’ve missed ‘the box thing’. |

I’ve no idea what you mean. But down here Sadiq Khan is on nearly every news broadcast, commenting on everything from parking violations to Prime Minister parties.
It’s very noticeable that he’s not been ‘expressing his opinion’ on camera since our beloved Queen died. |

Oh I don't know, I've seen him quite a bit. He was on Sky yesterday commenting on London's preparations. And I wasn't really watching but think I saw him on the London news today with the new Met Commissioner...

"He’s been unusually quiet since HRH died.
Usually he’s on the news, commenting on everything in London, but lately nothing.
Not even seen at today’s procession?
"
I don't particularly agree with the royals.
But come on mate, Common sense here. This is not a time for politics. No politician in UK is going to voice any political opinion till mourning is over. 1 week from this coming Monday it will be business as usual.. |

We pay him a huge salary. "
So he needs to be on the news constantly to justify his salary during a time of nationwide mourning? |

Usually he’s there justifying everything and everything which suits his causes. Lately nothing.
It’s purely an observation, let’s not fall out over it eh? |

I also must admit he has been silent since she passed. But would you rather he was like our Nicola in Scotland. Who can't wait to leave the union and get away from the crown. Yet pretends to care and gives false statements of condolences in Scottish Parliament. Probably alienating the majority of her voters. Khan's silence is at least scilent honesty. The true demographic of his constituency don't really care about the royals.
I also must say your opinions come across very anti foreigners. The type who have a ST George's cross in their garden. Without realising ST George was a Syrian refugee who came and slayed a mythical dragon for which you now adore. |

The media are very selective in their picking of news items and contributors. It's not a slow news period and we don't know the guy's schedule - perhaps he's snowed under, with the immensely huge security issues today, until next week, including with thousands around and visiting VIPs.
He's generally pretty sound in his judgement. But we can't blame him when it's the media who are responsible for their content |

Yeah I don’t like him, but I’m not ‘trying to find any thing to criticise him for’. It was just an observation.
I usually see him every evening on my local news, commenting on everything, but not since last Thursday, and not in the very public parade today. My observation is valid. |

I dare say you won't be the only one it puts off making them.
An opposing point of view is all good, but when they appear to be negative (to me anyway) rather than constructive...it is off putting |

Sounding like a broken record indeed. Well I observe the op, observing something which is bugging him.
It does smell like he doesn’t like the mayor. However that’s just a whiffservation… or perhaps a whiffspiracy [Delete as appropriate]

Fair point.
I’m just surprised at Khan’s silence.
Politicians have been attendant, but not the mayor (as far as I’m aware)
As I said, he’s usually vocal on anything London-focussed. |

I will say he has been on the local London news a few times over the last week or so. I'm not sure if he's been involved in any of the official Commemorations or today for example at Westminster hall. That could be because it's not procedure for him to be there, I've no idea but if he was meant to be there and wasn't I'm sure we would have heard about it. I've definitely seen him giving an interview and his condolences and memories and thoughts about the Queen. |

In fairness I think he is keeping a dignified silence like most politicians at the moment and just doing the official commemorative stuff. |

The bcc have spent several hours today reporting about the war in Ukraine as well as the fighting between Armenia and Azerbaijan. |

If I’ve missed it, then fair enough. It was a genuine observation/thread, based on many hours of watching the tv coverage in these sad times. |

The "country" is in mourning tho. Haven't you not noticed the total lack of any politician giving political view??
You really didn't do yourself any favours by singling out khan when none have commented.
You just look like a ST George flying EDL supporter. Not a good look

Forum: a meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.
Making an observation is absolutely fine.
Doing it in a forum is inviting debate, I hope I’m not seen as biting or being negative to OP as I’m not, but I’m just hopefully shedding light into why starting a forum will invite a wide range of discourse. Otherwise it wouldn’t be a forum, it would be an announcement or statement that could probably be achieved through a status update I guess? |

If you think about it though other than the other day in the houses of Parliament when members of Parliament and ex prime ministers gave their thoughts on the Queen I haven't seen any of them really on the Telly. |

Personally I am more concerned as to why on earth are vast majority of events been cancelled because of the death of 1 person as sad it is for the family.
Its offensive really as making out one mothers death is more important than mine or anyone elses mum here.
Why are the royals who are one of richest crew around not funding the policing and rest of security involved.
There are millions in poverty and with cost of living getting worse people will die as a result of it.
The government find money for 1 person yet very little for those who actually need it just to survive.
Priorities are all wrong and shameful.
Much as Andrew is getting stick and justified he lost his mum.
As for folk being charged for calling him a sick man is shocking.
You may have picked up am not a royalist at all to me its about treating every person the same and not because of parentage be looked upon as better than others whether it be King or a Queen. |

I made absolutely no mention of racism. The fact that the mention of EDL and ST George brought you to that assumption says more about you than me don't you think?
Both are attached to nationalism for sure but nationalism is not directly attached to racism.

Absolutely nothing wrong with having your own opinion. Individual opinions is what makes the world a great place in an open democracy. We are all entitled to it. We are also entitled to an open debate are we not? Opposite opinions are healthy for a free society as is the ability to question others opinions. |

The tone of your comments about him with the tell me it wasn’t as genuine a concern as you’re making out. But perhaps I’m wrong about that. Either way, I don’t think it matters at all whether he’s taking about the Queen or showing up where she is. It is not that deep. |

It doesn't change the fact you very unfairly made assumptions about the OP. We are entitled to our own opinions we are not however entitled To make assumptions about others based on very little information and then publicly try to associate them with a Very right wing political organisation. I will leave it here as I don't want to uncomfortable however I think your comments have been very unfair. |

Common misconception. They have people of colour within their ranks.
Yes I do agree on the front they are. Because Media portrays them that way. They are nationalists. Not the same. Yes some are but we can't tar all with same brush.
Unkike the SNP. Strangely Scotland is the only country on the planet where nationalism is not tied to racism. |

The normal abbreviation for 'Saint' is 'St'. 'ST' has always had a different meaning, colloquially.

Assumption of meaning can be dangerous. Don't you agree? |

I concur. But context and debate are equally important. No? |

"He’s been unusually quiet since HRH died.
Usually he’s on the news, commenting on everything in London, but lately nothing.
Not even seen at today’s procession?

Are you hinting he bumped off the queen cluedo style? |

I’m expressing surprise that he’s gone silent when he’s usually got an opinion on everything in London.
It’s really not difficult to grasp.

The EDL comment ‘not a good look’ which I accurately quoted is what I’m referring to.
Seriously, I don’t care if you don’t like my post.

My not a Good look line was me casting bate. The bites that received proved my thoughts on your connotations behind your post.
I don't dislike your post I'm just questioning the thought process behind it. Which by your defense has answered my question. Xx |

"I will say he has been on the local London news a few times over the last week or so. I'm not sure if he's been involved in any of the official Commemorations or today for example at Westminster hall. That could be because it's not procedure for him to be there, I've no idea but if he was meant to be there and wasn't I'm sure we would have heard about it. I've definitely seen him giving an interview and his condolences and memories and thoughts about the Queen.
If I’ve missed it, then fair enough. It was a genuine observation/thread, based on many hours of watching the tv coverage in these sad times.
If you think about it though other than the other day in the houses of Parliament when members of Parliament and ex prime ministers gave their thoughts on the Queen I haven't seen any of them really on the Telly. "
Here’s a thought, perhaps political party members are currently following specific protocols. Is this conspiracy you say??
Labour’s leadership office may be effectively providing guidelines to its members, as to what is appropriate to discuss at this point of time.
It has been a sudden end to the Queen’s era, and there is a national mourning in place, forgetting not a coronation to follow (when appropriate), which will dominate over other news, agendas, policies, and people in the near term.
You can find find some narrative on the Newstatesmen dot com.
“even those who do not consider themselves anti-royalists have concerns about civil liberties after the small number of arrests of anti-monarchy protesters”
The person who heckled naughty Andrew, got arrested I believe?
The article goes on to mention directives for MPs to not agree to any interviews with journalist currently around such matters.
“ One Labour MP said: I think MPs are slightly tired of Loto [leader of the opposition]’s diktats. Everyone understands what respect is. Another said it was ‘right and proper’ that MPs were given something to adhere to, for fear many could misjudge the public mood. “
KS - urging the public to behave “in the spirit of respect”, whilst acknowledge protestors are entitled to express views, when he was queried on this.
Back to the original point. The mood is sombre, national mourning. It is appropriate for anyone to overly be in the public domain right now? Even if it is their “perceived” normal behaviour by some??
Right now, if I was acting Mayor, I think I would observe a respectful distance from various policies, agendas in the public space at this current immediate point in time. I feel that would the be most prudent way to carry myself.

What is the expectations of him to say right right now. Let’s get realistic.
Apart from condolences, which I am sure he has passed to the royal family be it publicly or privately directly.
Would now be the right time to announce the Bendy Bus Mach 2?
There are other priorities of state right now, things happening in the background.
If politicians, political party members are subdued in the media (I’m sure he is not the only one), then how do you wish them to act?
What does the op want? |

I have made my points very clear on this thread but I think it is understandable and completely justified that he has not Nor have any other politician made any political statements I was simply replying to your comment stating " Does anyone give a f*** what he says" By saying yes I do normally you can read as much or as little into that as you want. |

He wouldn’t be in the procession, just like PM wasn’t.
Government is in recess which may affect what London Mayor is able to achieve. Also the tv stations decide what to broadcast so just cos it’s not being shown, it’s doesn’t mean it’s not happening. Maybe? |

Maybe hes keeping a dignified silence because he knows it is not about him .also the rightwing press are to busy fawning over those saying nice things about the queen to bother with him .
No doubt it will be normal service resumed soon lots of negative headlines about the Labour mayor of london especialy on crime yet naff all said about the tory mayor of Birmingham whos crime statistics are as bad or if anything worse now i wonder why that is ? ........

I'm not sure he has 'causes'.
He's doing a hard job trying to keep London safe, moving, and ticking along, under a central government that systematically sabotages all his initiatives. A most decent and ethical politician. |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
He marked the 5th anniversary of the Parsons Green attack, praising the emergency services.
He's working closely with central government and the Royal household on a big thing happening in London at the moment. It's taking up a lot of resources.
He was at the Proclamation on Saturday at the Lying In State yesterday. and, he knows if he says anything other than his initial statement he will get the usual racist attacks. It's also expected he would go into official mourning and not make new announcements at this time.

Funny, isn't it, that even though Sadiq Khan is the Mayor of London, and admittedly not the best Mayor we've had, why is it that even people who don't live in London (especially those in the North, or in the Medway), or even those who have nothing to do with London, hate him so much?

Well the candidates against him have ran islamophobic smear campaigns so haven’t exactly filled me with glee at the thought of voting for them either. That or they’re Shaun Bailey. |

Grant Shapps..
In one of his many ministerial posts told Khan the government would only loan money to cover the losses TFL had during lockdowns etc if he the mayor expanded the ULEZ..
Then they slagged him off for doing so..

Since Sadiq Khan been Mayor of London, this is the facts.
1000 murders have been committed under his watch, including 160 teenage murders.
Council Tax has risen every year since his been in office.
Expanded ULEZ zone twice under 2 years
Increased Congestion Charge to £15 and expanded it to weekends.
Introduced the craziest scheme ever in the form of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods in unecessary places causing more unecessary pollution and traffic which also has affected local business trade.
Introduced 20mph hour speed limits in unecesssary roads which again causes more pollution
Hasnt met housing targets since his been Mayor although housing targets havent been met across the country so might give him a pass on that.
Will charge people to use the Blackwall Tunnel next year and the new Silvertown tunnel.
Been more public transport strikes under his stewardship despite wanting more people to use public transport.
The only thing few things I give him credit for is the free school meals and the hopper fare but Im afraid its time for a new Mayor and at this point I don't care who it is as long as it ain't Sadiq the nightmayor Kharnage |

You don't care who it is? So what if the new Mayor's worse for London? What a ridiculous thing to say...you won't be sitting back enjoying the shitshow, saying to yourself "at least it's not Khan" if things are worse, will you? Or maybe you will...wouldn't be the first time people have voted against their own best interests!!
...I get that you have a total boner for Khan to be gone, but seriously, have you seen the other candidates...? And if you honestly believe Susan Hall will do the job better (the Susan Hall who didn't even know that Hammersmith and Fulham is ONE borough, but is a Londoner through and through; the same Susan Hall who endorses Islamophobic messages and thinks black people have an innate problem with committing crime and lied about being pick-pocketed to "prove" an argument that London is crime-infested, endorsed Trump's claim of winning the election as well as Liz Truss' budget recommendations; the same Susan Hall who is "apparently" going to repeal ULEZ against her own party's wishes (sure, sure), and the same Susan Hall who 2/3 of Londoners regard as a racist and "economical with the truth" (where have we heard that before?), whose own party have made calls for her to step down), then best of British with that!!

The murders could quite feasibly have been committed whether Khan was watching or not.
Possibly a bit of a tenuous connection! |

Well its like this, another 4 years of Sadiq Khan would be the worse case scenario after his been Mayor 8 years and has proven his not fit for the role. Now Im not saying to endorse Susan Hall because from face value I dont have much confidence in her to be considered London Mayor however I rather have an unknown and untested person because at least they more likely to offer something new. Heck I give Count Binface a chance to be London Mayor knowing he be completely different to Sadiq Khan as ridiculous as it sounds but obviously if any other canditates are voted in as Mayor and they turn out to be just as bad as the current Mayor then at least I'll have a chance to vote them out in 4 years rather then vote them again for another term. |

Heck I give Count Binface a chance to be London Mayor knowing he be completely different to Sadiq Khan as ridiculous as it sounds but obviously if any other canditates are voted in as Mayor and they turn out to be just as bad as the current Mayor then at least I'll have a chance to vote them out in 4 years rather then vote them again for another term. "
Someone unknown and untested? To run London for 4 whole years, given the current state of affairs? Oh my days...methinks your hatred of Khan has blinded you to everything else that would result from that. Why don't you run, then? You'd fulfil your own requirement...  |

"Maybe I might do in the next Mayoral Election  "
Nah! The winning formula has got to be a black or Asian female swinger candidate.
However, I sense, from some of your other forum posts, that you might not be finding many of those!!! |
