Sadiq Kahn’s views on Donald Trump - unprofessional?

Hilarious, I would suggest comparing a footballer to the Mayor because they are both Muslim is off the scale of anything I have come across. Still if Lara thinks it's a jolly jaoe , so be it.

jape

Actually, Elvive, it's not so funny and perhaps not something to mock.

I don't know this footballer but if he inspires other young people (of whatever religion or ethnic background) to try to achieve their ambitions whatever they may be, that can only be a good thing.

The same can be said for Khan, of course, for what he has achieved, but he has let himself down just lately.
He should show more dignity befitting his office.

But how on earth can you compare a professional footballer to a politician? Would we compare say Neil Armstrong and Father Christmas.......it's ludicrous.

Both role models?

As for Neil Armstrong and Father Christmas, ie St Nicholas

an astronaut -v- a saint?
Possible.

I think more young people would be inspired by a footballer than a Mayor.

Possibly sad, but true.

Is Sadiq Khan a role model or has he ever wished to be so?

Probably not. Therefore comparing him to a footballer ( potential role model? ) is rather foolish.

The only connection between the two is their faith.

Aren't mayors role models for their cities then ? Or supposed to be.

Mo Salah has done a lot for the city that he loves by bringing communities together.

Sadiq Khan was creating divisions by sanctioning a hate Trump campaign.

What a facile and pointless comparison.

I'll think you may find Trump didn't need any help with divisions. Possibly describing neo Nazis as fine people is pretty divisive.

Why isn’t Trump more like Harry Kane?
silly comparisons.

Can you get any sillier, Elvive ? Why don't you admit defeat instead of digging yourself a hole ?

There is no defeat because there is no contest. I think comparing 2 people because they happen to be Muslim is very silly indeed. But there we have it.

Oh and talking about the PC Brigade is also rather silly.
