To think that Sadiq Khan needs investigated?

Considering the ongoing disclosures of the extent of the Pakistani rape gangs in London and Khans refusal to even acknowledge them do we think he has bought the office of Lord Mayor into disrepute?

Because they’re not active and the subject of the thread Confused. Why do you think all past predators and the systems that enabled them must be condemned first before we look at the current systems that may be covering up predators? Bizarre approach.

Why don’t you look at the failures of the systems around those predators, and those in power who failed to act and ask yourself why the Mayor of London should be exempt from scrutiny of whether he is also contributing to such ongoing failures just because of his race?

Who else are you blaming?

Or is it just that Muslim bloke?

All the white ones and the brown ones should be held to account if they have abused children or vulnerable adults.

Absolutely.

Who else has been asked and where is the outrage?

That noone has condemned?

Which is what everyone is slagging khan off for?

Why do you hate him?!

I don’t think listing a series of predators whose crimes were covered up by institutions, politicians, and police is quite the win you think it is in a debate about whether Khan has contributed to institutions, politicians and police covering up abuse.

You seriously think it’s ‘racist’ to call something out for what it is? It’s a disgrace that people are still covering up for the Pakistani men who are perpetuating the grooming and raping of women. Hardly surprising I guess as they come from a place of seeing women as second class citizens. It’s attitudes like yours which have allowed this to pattern to go on for so long.

Different thread. Different issue. People can be equally appalled about both don’t you think?

Even the article title is inflammatory - 'I exposed Sadiq Khan's grooming'.

Racist and dog whistling.

He needs to answer the question ( showing respect to the victims) . As a politician he should be able to do that whilst also calling out Susan Hall for any snidey racist insinuations .

The victims of the grooming gangs need justice and accountability from the authorities but this doesn't mean that a mayor of British Pakistani heritage has to accept being racially abused by people like Susan Hall and Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk.

It's possible to be appalled by what happened to the victims of the grooming gangs but also be appalled by people trying to exploit their pain for political gain.

So let's condemn grooming gangs regardless of race. Im completely in favour of that.

And not blame innocent people.

Is that ok?

Show quote history

This apparently isn't ok.

I must hate khan too. For no reason and it's completely not racist. And I'm not allowed to say it might be or I'm an idiot.

He did do both, he answered her question.

I think as Mayor he has to be careful because anything he does say gets twisted. Susan doesn't seem to have that problem.

Show quote history

No he didn’t. He talked about county lines, a different type of abuse, general exploitation, and police numbering of high profile criminals. The video is there for all to see on the previous page. He didn’t once answer about grooming gangs.

He did answer the question. Statistically, the biggest issue affecting London's children is county lines. Is he supposed to pretend that's not the case?
