That’s exactly what it seems like to me as well. That’s why I’m not going bother answering him anymore
You were provided with a simple statement which you ignored. It seems you have an irrational hatred of Khan. Perhaps you can outline all of the ‘awful’ decisions he has made, with bullet points for added impact.

Failing to do so will mean it is the man himself you do not like, thus leaving one to draw conclusions as to why an Asian and Muslim chap offends you so.

Your choice.
:clown
Yeah, I knew where this conversation was going and that's why I refused to answer him , and still won't

I'm voting Khan because, out of the realistic winners, he's the least sh*t and weird.

I wasn't prepared to get into an argument with him because he was deliberately trying to bait me . I'm not going to comment on this again so save your breath .

Why? I am genuinely interested in why you don't like him? You're entitled to your opinion.

I think he does a professional job. Free school meals are great. Runs the tube well with fair fares. Obviously ulez isnt popular, however i like clean air.

I am not sure why you are getting all defensive and upset.

I simply asked why is it you are so against Khan and ready to slag him off any chance you get.

Just say why it is you do not like him? That is not ‘baiting’ but boardin’!

People really are convinced that Khan is to blame for knife crime, aren't they?

You can only blame one thing for any particular issue. It just gets too complicated otherwise.

Back in 2021, stop and search was being blamed for knife crime

Now not enough stop and search is the problem?

Sadiq Khan blames violent crime on all kinds of things.

Sadiq Khan blames spate of violence on school holidays, long days and heatwave

One thing that he doesn't blame it on is Sadiq Khan.

I've yet to see Rishi Sunak take blame for Illegal Immigrants. Maybe when he does Khan will take the blame for knife crime

I live in Leigh-On-Sea (obviously) and knife crime is up all around the Southend area. Should I also blame Khan?

I would take a bet that most of the posters on this thread are from Essex.

Turnout confirmed as way down. This can only be to Hall's benefit.
