Khan is a horrible man

What do you base that on Jennifer Eccles ?
If you live in London, I take it you didn't vote for him?

From what I read about Khan he could be trying to deflect criticism of himself by joining in with the general condemnation of Trump

Khan doesn't have to like Trump but he could have at least had the politness to keep his thougts to himself.

Khan is a horrible man.

How on earth did he get elected as Mayor?

Ideally Trump should have been the bigger man and risen above all the insults Khan was throwing his way, but having said that he was perfectly entitled to defend himself.

How seriously does the rest of the world take Trump? Well, here’s how Sky News is advertising his UK state visit. Watch.

Good point (Phoenix* it is a very important job but it must sometimes be hard to remain diplomatically schtum when areas of the UK are being slagged off as “no go areas” as POTUS did last year.

blondenana Mayor of London does actually mean quite a lot more power (and responsibility) than your "average" Mayor.

A Global threat ? Trump ? I could say something but I won't !!

Khann is only a mayor,he does seem to have a lot of powers for only being a mayor,or is a London mayor different to others
He doesnt; seem to be very popular anywhere from what i read

He’s just an embarrassment now.

Ginny42 Sun 02-Jun-19 19:08:01

I think he's taken is lead from the very outspoken POTUS. Both unprofessional.

I think Khan is being very, very unprofessional.As Mayor of London he has to be more diplomatic.

Kandinsky Sun 02-Jun-19 19:03:24

Not sure if gransnetters outside of London know what our mayor is saying, but he’s going way over the top in my opinion.
He really needs to keep his personal hatred of another politician to himself, especially a politician who’s one of our greatest allies.

What do you think?
