You, and only you, cited Khan as a likely unifying factor amongst the Unite the Kingdom participants. Likewise AF chucks in some half baked notion about an anonymous area of Derby representing what he means by ?we want our country back?, but when asked to qualify/substantiate your contributions you both duck out, quite unable to do so and, in your case, babbling on about a Monty Python joke from fifty odd years ago.

I admit I know little about Khan - Swale seems to know more - but I know plenty about various areas of Derby. So instead of running away, why not back up your suggestions. You may be right or you and AF might just be spouting those ?alternative facts? ie?more falsehoods.
Did you read my posts or simply take from them what you wanted to read?

I didn't go on march but spoke to people who did. MA I think but it may have been you asked what issues were being protested about. AF speculated several and I asked the guys who went what they felt was the vox pop. Hence I added "wokeness and Khan" in response.

I don't know why Khan was identified as a reason to protest. I was simply relaying what I was told. I know little of him myself apart from instigating ULEZ that many oppose but actually I favour.

At this point various people weighed in with Khan must be good/popular as he's been reelected. An utterly fallacious argument unless you accept the Tories and Trump are good/popular as they too have been reelected.

I've never expressed a view on whether I think Khan has been good for London. I have no idea. I merely answered a question by asking people who marched what their issues were and reported back.

I didn't enter a great conversation as to what they felt his failings were. So I'm ****ed of I'm going to research the matter further to satisfy Swale who would in any event simply dismiss other people's (the marchers) opinions anyway as that is his style.

Next time I won't bother to try to make enquiries
