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?

Khan needs to be dropped can’t stand him.

And for those of you that like to keep throwing out the racist card. The grooming gang members were exactly that racists. Because let’s not forget that it works both ways believe it or not.

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

And not blame innocent people.

Is that ok?

Why is it always on ethnic minorities to be the bigger person when confronted by people who have been openly racist to them?

He chose to frame the question as a racist dog whistle.

A bit victim blamey no?

Why couldn’t he do both? Why couldn’t he put Hall in her place about the perceived racism underlying her question while also addressing the question? I did it easily. Why couldn’t he?

Do you think my proposed reply? Why couldn’t Khan say the same?

I'm objecting to people who use racist dog whistles to then blame the people who don't answer their racist dog whistles.

Well - if you’re the Mayor of London you have to care about all communities and you certainly need to answer questions about the most vulnerable.
He’s a politician… he should be able to answer questions .

Sadiq Khan is not a victim. He is the Mayor of London

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.

Ok, you will literally tell everyone he's shit for breathing at this point.

Do you know who's really good at answering these questions? Polanski.
Or do you hate him too?

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.

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?

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.

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 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 .

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

Racist and dog whistling.

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.

NotBadConsidering · 21/10/2025 23:19

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.

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