    The Mayor got elected by a majority of the electorate<ok>.
    It seems that the Tory MP's agree with the biased C4 audience on Raab C.
    btw trump started the spat by attacking our Mayor after the one of the terrorist atrocities, can't remember which one offhand.

    Now now Billy, you know that's not correct :)

    London Electorate = 5.739million
    Khan's First Pref Votes = 1.149million

    So Khan got 20% of the London Electorate :)

    Khan got elected by the vast majority of non English “Londoners” - fact.

    Said it before, I don’t know a single born & bred Londoner like me who voted for him.

    Second round vote
    Sadiq Khan 56.8%
    Zac Goldsmith 43.2%
    A decisive majority, much more than the 52% in another public vote.

    Democracy used to work for everybody in this country. Now it only works for remainers like Khan and that Labour MP who just got elected with 10,000 bent postal votes.
    In order to avoid leaving the EU, Britain has joined the Third World.

    I do not dispute those figures but that is not what you said …. you said Khan got a majority of the electorate... he didn't, he got 20% of the electorate <ok>

    You know what I meant. So what percentage of the electorate voted for Brexit?

    People who don't vote don't count.

    People who have the right to vote and don't bother have no right to complain or express their views later and expect anybody to listen to them. In the context of the election (or referendum) in question, they don't exist and shouldn't be counted. I've always believed that.
    So if Khan was backed by 56% of Londoners who actually voted, that's a legitimate majority. Fair enough.

    However, in this country now people who do vote don't count - if they vote for something the establishment does not want.
    So for me democracy in the UK has no credibility left.

    One of the random members of the public on the BBC leaders debate, waffling in about Islamophobia, was this man ...

    So his supporters are stitching it up so that Jeremy Hunt gets into the shoot-out. At least Hunt remembered how many kids he's got last night. He wouldn't commit himself on his wife's nationality though, just describing her as "an immigrant".

    Nicky Campbell has issued an apology (a proper one) for not checking him out.

    I agree. He came across as passionate and sincere. I expect his vote share to increase considerably later today.

    So truly disturbing Tweets have come to light from this odious character - including that young girls are fair game for Asian men.

    A man of God my arse.

    Deport him.
