To think that Sadiq Khan needs investigated?

Where have you said the same about another political figure?

That’s obfuscation

I don’t have a “world view”
Why are you puzzled about my interest in this thread?
Khan in my mayor . I work with young people. I think Khan has a responsibility to be open and transparent about this issue.
I would say the same for any political figure.

He also says below that:

Sir Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London): We know in London there are issues about exploitation of young people, but they are not as defined by the Member in her definition of what those types of gangs are.

Why don't you start a thread on that?

The title's libellous I'd say.

Haven't read the article - why waste time reading mendacious, dogwhistle for the uneducated/uninformed, right-wing nonsense - but I'd put good money on it having no substantiated sources, and no verifiable figures.

Paragraph 11:

What we have in London is young people being groomed - to use your word, not mine - to be used in county lines in relation to sometimes -

So he diverted the question about how many rape gangs to say young people are groomed to be used in county lines.

So where did he answer the question about rape gangs?

It’s not acceptable to call Khan a”nonce” but people are angry about the way vulnerable young girls have been disregarded by people in power.
Khan is yet another politician who will put his own interests before that of vulnerable young girls.

You’re asking for far too much namely critical thinking.

Except there aren't are there.

Every thread on grooming gangs descends into racism.

So why do you think that is? Or does it support your world view?

And as every thread descends into racism why on earth did anyone think it necessary to start one blaming Sadiq khan? I mean, it's literally in the thread title isn't it? So why was this necessary and why are so many blaming, specifically, a Muslim brown man in a rare position of authority, in a country filled with white men who have actual evidence against them on this subject?

Why do you think this is?

Why do you care so much about this thread?

I care because there's no evidence he's done anything and I'm fed up of racist shit all over everything. Why do you care especially about this one thread?

I missed that otherwise I would have reported it. In fact I will report this thread because I’m not sure what the purpose is other than to defame a public person. It’s making out that he’s involved in or covering up grooming gangs which is a serious allegation. It’s a disgusting thread to have started.

Even better, here is the transcript.

https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/keeping-londoners-safe-0

See paragraph 11

But he didn’t answer the question.
He was asked the question several times and he deflected.
Its really disgusting that people care more about the Mayor’s reputation than they do about transparency over grooming gangs

Agreed. It's also disappointing how few people objected to a poster calling Sadiq Khan a nonce on this thread.

Can you point out which part of the video he answered about grooming gangs specifically?

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=noJCNh60lfk

No, you're not.

So you think we should ask everyone else, and everyone white first, about grooming gangs in London, but not the man who has overall responsibility and is in charge of London (yet?) because of his race?

How many white people beneath him need to be ticked off before we get to take it directly to the man responsible for policing in London? 10? 100?

He did answer though. Even though he probably wanted to tell her to fuck off. He should be commended for resisting it.

Honestly he should sue for defamation because I’m so confused by this thread and that article.

What has Sadiq Khan got to do with the heinous crime of others? It’s suggesting that he was either part of it or involved in a cover which there is no basis for.

Also, this thread was clearly created for some Muslim/ Pakistani bashing. A criminal is a criminal their race nor their religion is relevant anyone trying to make it relevant has a different agenda.

He did answer (see above).

It’s the thread title.
Other threads deal with other topics.
The discussion gets derailed very quickly otherwise….

From london.gov:

Susan Hall asks him about grooming gangs, he replies:

Sir Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London): The situation in London in relation to young people being groomed is different to other parts of the country. What we have in London is young people being groomed - to use your word, not mine - to be used in county lines in relation to sometimes --

Susan Hall AM: OK. Let me make it clear. Sorry, I was not clear enough. I was told I should not be saying rape gangs. They are rape gangs. I am not talking about county lines [she calls them country lines], but to go back, nobody likes me saying rape gangs, although they are rape gangs. Grooming gangs, that I would call rape gangs. Tell me about them. How many of those have we got? Not county lines. Those particular groups.

Sir Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London): To avoid any misunderstanding, can she define what she means by that?

Susan Hall AM: Yes, if you look at what has gone on in Rotherham where there are people taking young girls and grooming them for sex. That is what I am talking about.

Sir Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London): We know in London there are issues about exploitation of young people, but they are not as defined by the Member in her definition of what those types of gangs are.

So he is answering her question.

Yes, I think the article in the express is inflammatory, it says ''I exposed Sadiq Khan's grooming'.

On what planet do you think saying that about Sadiq Khan is 'calling something out for what it is.'?

Is it just Islamophobia you're ok with or racism to other groups too?

It's attitudes like yours that are gross.
