TFL Bailout - Khan Out Now!

[Red_Army]

I've not been on here for a while, but is Thor a Covid conspiracy theorist? Not that I'm hugely surprised.

Not sure how you can really blame the mayor- the reason they've asked for a bailout is quite clearly out of his control- and the increase in congestion charge is a term dictated by the government as part of the deal.

The Olympic stadium debacle .
Londoners paying tax for wet spams ground , for there.corner flags & goal nets ,
£476 million spend.& £ 274 million renovations .

All because Bojo had never heard of leyton orient & wasnt prepared to let Saracens rfc
to share the 25000 seater originally planned .

Although I've been pasted the Olympic Stadium many times I've never been inside . If what my West Ham supporting mates have said is true then I think we should thank Boris for helping us miss a bullet .

Ah but it would have been a single tier stadium lad .
Much better sightlines etc .

All the people you dislike most seem to be black.

What is going on with that?

Thorys a Bigot .
Just like TTM was during his supposed trips to Calais .

Hold on a minute are you saying Thor is Gilso!

Unbelievable.

Im saying someone tried to play a character
of a bigoted fool , who then lost his bottle for
the roll & went Its me i was only kidding dont
take me seriously.

I'm starting to dislike you tuffers, now f*** off you silly sausage.

Ah Thory , its not like you to get all uppity .
Did the bigger boyz come & take your ice-cream ?

[o-no]

I know and I don't use the tube or at least extremely rarely. But if he ran a business like that he'd have been removed from his position. Incompetent buffoon.

And you're a fantasist who believes in the doctrine pinged out by any old alt-right website. You've no credibility left mate. Give it up.

And you are a sheep, I'll be proved right and am being proved right all the time.

Made in a lab - tick
From an animal, nope - another tick
Is it worse than flu, nope - another tick

I'm sure theres more points I'm right about concerning this virus, but I just can't be bothered debating with half wits who just follow what they are told. Crack on mate, I'm loving life and when they dish out the vaccine make sure your at the front of the line, having mercury, aluminium, formaldehyde, animal DNA spliced inside you. Good luck you will need it.

What on earth are you on about. People on here have been questioning your credibility for months and you come back with this....

There's only one half wit here who is following what he's been told - you need to look a bit closer to home.

I don't even need to say anything, the twitter poster has it covered.

Khan needs to be sacked now!

Predictable idiotic thread.

More concerned about £1.6 billion of tax payers money than 35,000 souls who have lost there
lives in the Uk alone . Thory is in need of enlightenment.

It never works when the Mayor of London isn't aligned with whichever party holds power in Westminster. The Mayor will always be undermined and scapegoated. The best they can hope for is to be unremarkable - getting the odd policy through whole remaining largely off radar.

Khan has pretty much done that. But his plans to make London more cycle friendly, which I suspect he hoped would be his legacy, have been thwarted by Tory-held London boroughs. Expect the same to happen with his latest plans for increased pedestrianisation.

This.

The bailout will also be a big part of their attack strategy in the mayoral election.

BTP finally being deployed for crowd management at stations

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Hold on, I thought Thor was always questioning what he was told, digging under the skin of any theories?

Or does that only apply if its a bout someone he doesn't already like?

[JimbO]

Think this all depends on which colour of the political spectrum you lean to blue or red.

Specifically on the congestion charge, according to the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/202 ... oronavirus

The Department for Transport said the government did not force Khan or TfL to raise the congestion charge as a condition of approving the bailout.

A spokesman for the Mayor of London said that the government and Khan agreed that the charge should be reviewed, but that it was the mayor’s decision to increase it.

I find the special kind of stupid where people argue they aren't gullible while taking the word of some bloke broadcasting from his mum's basement in Bumfuck, Arianna as gospel absolutely fascinating.

A little odd my phone autocorrects Arizona but not Bumfuck.

Dont forget white

I believe if you use particular terms frequently, eg when searching Google or visiting websites that mention them, it will stop autocorrecting.

Shut up, you clown.

Must be in your phone's dictionary. I wonder why that would be?

[Long slender neck]

What a spiteful government.

[HeyO]

What a spiteful government.

Absolutely wantonly spiteful.

[tuffers#1]

Didnt Boris say he was going to scrap the Congestion Charge, while electioneering for his stinylt as Mayor ?

So the Guardian reports it was Khan's decision to reimpose the congestion charge. The DFT says the same. So does his own spokesman.

In the statement the Mayor released on 15th May (https://www.london.gov.uk/press-release ... arding-tfl) he lists all the things that the government insisted on and specified (like fare increases, suspending passes) yet says only that the congestion charge will be "reviewed".

Now, though, he's set the record straight on his Facebook page and it was the government all along who insisted on reinstating and raising the congestion charge.

OK.
