Trump loves to shock. Trying to deflect questions about why he hasn't resolved the Ukraine/Russia war in an afternoon as boasted by him.
Trump's on a roll at the moment. Sharia Law, paracetamol, what a load of claptrap he spouts.

🤣 I know! Was there any subject not covered, including his boasting of ending seven wars.

He even covered cows. What was he getting at there?

It’s many people like him but some don’t Oreo, amongst the voters of London, anyway. I always wonder how relevant the views of those who don’t live in London are, we don’t count for anything as far as the role of mayor is concerned. Trump even less so, he should butt out.

I used to live there but was glad to get out.I hear things from friends and relatives still living in London so know he isn’t all that popular.
You’re right tho, it doesn’t bother me, just as any other Mayor in the UK doesn’t affect me.

Babs03 when did I ā€œinsistā€ that Khan would like Sharia Law?? I said I think not insist. Just my opinion.

It’s merely one poster, at the moment, saying what she thinks of Khan.
He isn’t universally liked as mayor y’know.

Do you live in London? If so can you explain what he has done to make you think he is a horrible mayor?

Some people like him but many don’t, and he really shouldn’t have made an enemy of Trump, it’s Starmer who has to deal with the fallout of it all.

This is the thread I started

to take it off this thread.

Or is all this yet another, even bigger muddle, on what the words racist and Islamophobic mean?

I have no idea whether he does or he doesnt, but how would that make sundown girl, Islamophobic?

I started a thread recetnly, and joined in another, where virtually no one would say what the word racist meant.

And there was a muddle over what the word Islamophobic meant.
Apparently that particular word may mean, fear of the religion of Islam. And fear of muslims, as only muslims practice that religion[probably still dont agree with that myself, but not confirmed it yet].

Can you post evidence to your claim that Sadiq Khan wants sharia law please sundown girl

Yes I would like to see this or a retraction. Because insisting that Khan wants Sharia law is Islamophobic.

Yes

Trump has not forgiven Khan for the welcome he got in London, the baby trump balloons really hit the target and Trump is so thin skinned and very vengeful, he said as much at the memorial service for Charlie Kirk. If he was your neighbour, your relative or anyone without power, he would be laughed at for the complete idiot that he is.

Bloody fool.

The issue here is that Tommy Robinson racist followers will lap it up.

I’m not a Tommy Robinson follower but I think Khan is a horrible Mayor

And you agree that Sharia law is being brought into London?

I think Khan would like it to be

This what worries me.
There are enough gullible fools who will believe his claptrap in this country.
They are the ā€˜he tells it as it is’ brigade.
God help us.

Babs, Trump just likes talking rubbish, no one takes much notice, except his fan club in the States. I do wish though that this government would learn to read the mood of ordinary people. .

Babs03 Tue 23-Sept-25 18:42:12

Trump attacked Sadiq Khan when speaking at the UN today saying he is a horrible mayor and imposing Sharia law on London.
What!!!!
Firstly what has our London Mayor got to do with Trump??
If Londoners want to critisize him so be it but Trump should just keep his nose out of it.
Also to say all that nonsense about Sharia law is offensive and blatantly Islamophobic.
The US ambassador in London should be called to account over this.
