Sir Sadiq Khan

Post by Fellowo »

What the serious F!

Been given a knighthood for the simple fact that he's been london mayor for eight years.

The fact he's still in office says more about those that have gone up against him at election time than anything else.

What a joke.

The honours system is total corrupt, and always has been.

They are given to good little boys and girls who dont disrupt the status quo, who follow the Establishment line etc.

Most of the recipients got the gongs for just doing their job ffs

I'm not laughing. Instead of the other election candidates getting the blame should you not be complaining about the quality of the voters?

Neither here nor there on Sadiq Khan but if his knighthood gets the gammons all worked up then I’m all for it.

Southgate - mixed legacy? Sorry, we have been here several times before. Cancel that. The FA love a blazer, though.

If, for nothing else, I liked the way he stood up to Trump. Sadiq Khan, not Southgate…

So a person is a gammon if they don't particularly like someone's character or political views..

Yes, and the person making this assertion could also be a crank- agree with you there, mate.

A gammon is an angry, white, right wing fellow. You know, the type that strongly disapprove of Sadiq Khan but approve of Donald Trump

At least Andy Street was a mayor, unlike Tory loser, Shaun Bailey, who was rewarded for his failure with a seat in the House of Lords for life.

Only 40% bother to turn out and vote but 80% moan about him. You reap what you sow.
