    Have to disagree, there?s simply double standards at play here LB.

    Did a riot kick off when Lucy Letby killed innocent babies? Where was the outrage? This is just one example, there?s tons.

    I don?t think that you can compare these two incidents with what I?m making reference to. I am talking about if an individual disagrees with what another individual has done and they are classed as racist or whatever when it is the actions of that individual and not who they are that is disagreed with.

    Regarding Sadiq Khan, I don?t really know too much about what he has or hasn?t done for London. All I know is that just being Lord Mayor of London qualifies him to become a Peer of the Realm. Boris isn?t!

    Right from the beginning when Khan was becoming or about to become.. the lead up to it was racism filled by the right wing media. You may disagree or have forgotten but he simply was not accepted or approved by that media. This is where all the anti khan sentiments began, from this vile racist behaviour which has spilled over to the lowly educated (dare I say daily mail and sun readers).. it?s evolved so much that it?s probably not even considered racist for those lowly educated as they have become so conditioned to it.
    That?s why I call it racist to have a pop at khan because that?s the history of it.

    Your last paragraph from what I understand you?re saying is that a mayor doing their job shouldn?t be knighted, which I actually agree with. Why should you be for doing a job. I agree. Had he done something exceptional then maybe. I?m sure you agree with that or we both agree on this.

    So then this Charlotte Owen being made a peer - why didn?t the un educated or misinformed not kick off about this? Double standards.
