Got evidence for any of these claims?Still's Carenae wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 11:04 pmKhan will most likely win. Unfortunately, he has been very ineffective so far.Jobi equals failure wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 1:14 am Khan will win easy, no point in voting.
GLC has put up rates by 9/10% for at least the last 2 years and is now a quarter of the council tax bill.
TFL including crossrail has been a disaster financially.
In 2016 GLC was given £4.82 bn to build around 150,000 houses by 2020, only 16,000 built to date.
Police - reduced force by 10,000 and closed 38 stations. He is in ultimate charge and rarely gives any acknowledgement of good policing and condonation if it looks good.
The worst thing especially for business is the ulez and proposed £3.50 to drive into greater london. Neither are good for business. Ah, but what does that matter.
Poor financial and structural management over the term.
I have no political views, only whether someone does a good or poor job.
But Khan will win easily.
You have to be wilfully misreading the TFL financial situation if you are trying to pin that on Khan. Likewise Crossrail and police numbers reductions.Still's Carenae wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 11:04 pmKhan will most likely win.

Doesn't seem to have the smarts to make up for being prolifically gaffe prone and offensive, which is why the Tory party basically gave up on him two years ago. Cannot work out why they didn't replace him other than they have completely given up on winning London.
Driving creates pollution.Ornchurch wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 10:19 am Off course people value driving. It is the most convenient, quickest and safest way of getting from A to B. It gives people freedom.
Everything that is targeted at driving is seen as the milking of a cash cow.
Who, especially women, feels 100% safe when travelling on public transport and it is a scenario that gets increasingly worse as you move further in to the evening hours.
Making places car centric generally makes them into a dump, you have 60s town planning in nearly every British city as proof of that. Not to mention it pollutes and makes people fatter.Ornchurch wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 10:19 am Off course people value driving.

Well I wonder what it is about Khan that cab drivers and other right wingers dont like?Ornchurch wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 10:21 amI meant Khan not BaileyMistadobalina wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 10:18 am Endless comments about women and their value as it relates to their sexuality.

Drivers have always paid road tax. All other charges are a milking of a convenient cash cow.Max B Gold wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 10:28 amDriving creates pollution.Ornchurch wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 10:19 am Off course people value driving.

There is a human and financial cost to that pollution. Why shouldn't drivers pay to deal with it's consequences?
Really? My 16 y.o. daughter wouldn’t get the unwanted attention she gets on the train to and from school that she would in a car. No wonder she doesn’t feel safe.Mistadobalina wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 10:39 amMaking places car centric generally makes them into a dump, you have 60s town planning in nearly every British city as proof of that.

And can absolutely guarantee you you're safer getting public transport than you are in a car.
You’re right on that but that comes as a result of an increased population.Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 10:56 am Cars have taken over the majority of streets, children can no longer play out when i expect majority of those driving enjoyed doing so when they were younger.
Or maybe it's that the current Global Warming situation is creating the urgent need to reduce fossil fuel burning vehicle journeys. Secondly, air pollution is affecting the health of millions of people and road users are major contributors to that problem. Thirdly, our road infrastructure just won't function with more and more cars being added ad infinitum. Change is needed, and thankfully it is coming - hopefully not too late.Ornchurch wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 11:33 amDrivers have always paid road tax.
