I don't see why being gay is something to be proud of. Any more than being straight. It's just what you are. It's like being proud of having blue eyes. As for my opinion being sinister, I presume that is a euphemism for homophobic but you don't have the stones to come out and say it. A weak argument, especially when we consider that many gay people agree with me, Douglas Murray for example.

Being a second generation immigrant born in London does not make you indigenous.

I don't see it as hostile. I just don't see the need for it. We don't see white pride, straight pride, ginger pride, bald pride, tall pride etc. I don't see gay people being harrassed in Thailand. There are gay people in senior positions in the company I work for, nobody bats an eyelid. If you raised it as an issue you would be treated as a Pariah and rightly so. Just get on with their lives. No need to shout about it, it's almost like inviting hostility where there is none. Like racism, the demand for homophobia seems to be outstripping the supply so some people are trying to manufacture some to fill the gap. It's like "let's be deliberately provocative and see if we can bait someone into objecting so we can scream Homophobe and Bigot at them". Equally, you could say places like Soi Paradise in Phuket or Silom Soi 4 in Bangkok are like gay pride every night. The gay scene has their areas just as the straight scene does. Just another example of equality already achieved.

Fortunately I'll be out of Bangkok for the long weekend so I won't have to suffer these attention seeking exhibitionists making complete fools of themselves. Look at MEEEEEEEEEEEE. Ummm, no thanks...

Once again, censorious left wing politicians trying to take over the job of parenting from the parents. Here's an idea, how about you stay out of people's lives and focus on doing your own job properly?

Whataboutism.

Of course. Some will like his two tiered, anti-semitic policing and pro-palestine police force. Some will like pricing the poor out of their cars and onto a mismanaged, crime ridden public transport system. Some might even like the rise in violent/knife crime. I don't. Oh the irony.

If their goal was to raise a hypocritical, incompetent liar who is presiding over an unprecedented wave of anti-semitism in the capital with his two tiered policing then yes, they must be very proud of little Sadiq.

Correct. Not Indian, as BE88 is suggesting.

Not sure what that garbage is supposed to mean, but let me know when you have the stones to say what you mean.

Yep, she defeated another Democrat candidate. Another DEI vote. Or maybe she was elected due to her high moral standards and lovely personality? 😄

I know the history. Khan is still not Indian. He is the son of Pakistani immigrants. Just admit you got his nationality wrong. 😄 If you do not understand the difference between Indians and Pakistanis in 2024 I suggest you go to a cricket match in Delhi and tell the home crowd that they are in fact, not Indian but Pakistani. Don't forget to film it and post back here.

Here is what you said to me. I have clearly stated the policies of Khan that I do not like. Multiple times. So if you believe it is due to something else, then have the minerals to say it. If not, drop the childish insinuations.

Khan is not Indian.

Khan is the child of Pakistani immigrants, not Indians.

Nobody is disrespecting the vote or calling for another one. We are not Remainers.

No, you prefer to insinuate racism rather than say it. Bravo.

It's not irrelevant. You are simply pretending not to see the relevance. It clearly shows that your only defense of Khan is that he "was elected" falls at the first hurdle. If being elected was a valid justification for anti-semitic, twio tiered policing, then you would have no problem with Mugabe's policies since he was also elected. The fact that Mugabe went further that anti-semitic policing is your attempt at a deflection.

It's highlighting hypocrisy. Curious that you would leap to the defense of someone presiding over an organization guilty of such systemic abuse of children in order to score political points re. migration.

Classic move by Chomps. Run out arguments, imply racism without having the stones to actually say it. Not only weak, but also cowardly.

Yes you did. No I am not equating the two. Khan is clearly not as bad as Mugabi, and I never implied that he was. This is a strawman from you, a classic troll move. He is however, a hypoctritcal liar that has presided over two tier policing that arrests people for being openly Jewish in London. He involves himself in political issues that are not in his remit, such as Brexit. He restricts the movement of poorer people in London with Ulez while driving around in convoys of V8 Jags. I could give many more examples of his arrogance and incompetence. Please read my previous paragraph for clarification. This paragraph kills two birds with one stone by also showing why you support him so strongly.

You have missed the point (deliberately I suspect). Your only defense of Khan appears to be that he was elected by the people of London. I have provided an example (Mugabi, I have many others) to show that being elected does not make you a good, benevolent leader. Hence, your point is meaningless in the context of the conversation.

Just as Mugabe was elected to various positions as a result of the numbers of votes he received. There are many other examples thoughout history of dangerous miscreants being elected to various positions. We can add Khan to the list.

Yes there is, they have even been forced into apologizing for it. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/london-police-apologize-threatening-arrest-openly-jewish-man-palestini-rcna148676 Captain Obvious enlightens us once more 😄.
