Title: London's mayor should spend more time getting his city's murder rate below New Y
Post by: Ptarmigan on July 09, 2018, 07:16:12 PM: London's mayor should spend more time getting his city's murder rate below New York's and less time encouraging puerile stunts like the orange Trump 'baby' balloon that woefully disrespects Britain's greatest ally

When President Trump comes to Britain later this week, a giant 20ft balloon depicting him as an orange baby in diapers will be flown over the Houses of Parliament.

It will be the visual fulcrum for a large scale 'Stop Trump' protest being planned in London to welcome the divisive leader of the free world on his official state visit.

Campaigners crowd-funded their balloon stunt by raising $25,000 online to pay for it. Their intent is simply to humiliate President Trump in a way that will garner embarrassing images and headlines around the world.

No fan of Piers Morgan, but he is right on this one. London is teetering on the brink.

In a country that severely restricts gun ownership?

Handguns completely prohibited. It looks very much like Khan's head is completely up his ass.

In light of the Donald Trump 'Baby Trump' ballon being allowed to fly over London during his visit to the U.K., let's get a 'baby Khan' one and see if FREE SPEECH applies to all and whether or not Mr Khan and the London assembly will also approve this.

Under Sadiq Khan, we have seen crime sky rocket to unprecedented levels. People in London don't feel safe and they aren't safe, 81 murders this year alone! Khan Out.

Any surplus money raised will be used for a continuing campaign to remove Sadiq Khan from office and also for defending free speech which is constantly under attack.

Of course transparency of all money will be available.

Wow they really wasted their money on that. They should've gone to Al Harrington and got one of his Wacky Waving Inflatable Tube Men for this embarrassment.

The Rock 'n' Roll Marathon and Half Marathon Series finishing arches are more impressive. For that matter, the finishing arches used by local race organizers are more impressive. I almost wonder whether the bureaucrats who gave them the permission and location did so to let them make insignificant arse-clowns of themselves.

Post by: Old n Grumpy on July 13, 2018, 11:56:22 AM: Kahn is a petty self centered ass hole. his city is suffering from the overload of immagrants and political correctness. I heard Piers Morgan last night on Martha's show , he is not as big a wanker as I always thought. He admitted obama is no a great politician or great saviour of the US.

Post by: SVPete on July 13, 2018, 01:31:21 PM: Judging by the picture in this article (http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2018/07/about-that-giant-trump-baby-balloon.php), I'm going to guesstimate that the balloon is 20 feet tall by 15 feet wide. Impressive if you're next to it, very small from a quarter mile down the street, and probably not visible from the Thames because the Palace of Westminster is taller.
