Ooooooops. The Conservative had the same guy advising him that Stephen Harper did last election: Lynton Crosbie. Guess the burka strategy didn't go over any better in London. Backfire!

London has fallen.

I have zero sympathy for the prog's living in London. They picked who they want for Mayor and the got exactly what they voted for.

Here's the Religous breakdown of London and if you look closely Christianity is the predominant religion so, there can be no excuses nor complaints from the non Muslim population since they had more than ample opportunity to stop this from happening.

Christian 4,176,175 58.23% 3,957,984 48.42%
Buddhist 54,297 0.76% 82,026 1.00%
Hindu 291,977 4.07% 411,291 5.03%
Jewish 149,789 2.09% 148,602 1.82%
Muslim 607,083 8.46% 1,012,823 12.39%
Sikh 104,230 1.45% 126,134 1.54%
Other religion 36,558 0.51% 47,970 0.59%
No religion 1,130,616 15.76% 1,694,372 20.73%
Religion not stated 621,366 8.66% 692,739 8.47%
Total 7,172,091 100.00% 8,173,941 100.00%

London falls to the beast, but they've been pointing in that direction for nearly half a century so it had to happen eventually. The bright spot of the day though was Labour getting absolutely shredded in Scotland, with their worst performance there in decades, if not their worst ever.

Haven't any of you troglodytes considered that maybe - just maybe- hos religion has nothing to do with anything?????

If I've learned anything from living in a large city it's that the new wave of hipster dilettantism is pretty much unbeatable. It's one of the main new-ish trademarks of our fallen era. Just the way it is. Consequences aren't important, just being on the trendy side is.

Well, since you pointed out yourself how dominant Christianity is in London, exactly what was the religious motivation of all those Christian voters?

Uncle Toms.
Jihadi flags at speeches.
Brother in law is a terrorist.
Sharing speaking platforms openly with all kinds of scum.

We wont mention who he has represented in court, layer scum is lawyer scum everywhere.
But it's interesting that Khan never represented any infidels.


No, his religion has a lot to do with it.


How's about this .... Once in a while a story pops up about Jews leaving France because it isn't safe for them anymore.

So, in 18 - 24 months, when the first stories quietly start popping up about Jews
considering leaving London, will you maybe.. just maybe.. consider that YOU are wrong ?

Probably not.

I was worried that Corbyn would be ousted over these results, and we would miss the laughs.
Happily, the laughs have been preserved for the future.

Maybe the same one that got Obama elected? They might have become so enamoured with their own perceived vision about about everyone being equally qualified for a job no matter ability religious affiliations or past digressions that they voted for this gentleman just to prove how progressive, inclusive, PC and non racist they really are.

Or, on a long shot maybe they felt this guy was the man for the job given his qualifications. Although, with that being said I'm pretty sure that the Muslim voters in London didn't weigh this guys abilities and then in good conscience vote for his opponent.

But to be honest, apathy is the most likely reason. Most of them like alot of others in western countries who don't vote because their's no good politician probably didn't bother to get off the couch and stop watching The Great British Bake off which, gave the smaller number of prog's, Muslim and non Christian voters a much larger value than they would have enjoyed if a majority of Christians had voted.

I wouldn't assume that the atheists and such would have all voted for Labour. It's a philosophical choice, not a trendy thing to do because it's popular. Atheism covers all of the political spectrum, not just the left. I'm close to being an atheist. The only spiritual thing that I still believe in is that there's some sort of afterlife free of pain and suffering where you get to be with your loved ones again. And there is no hell, because this world already passes for that more than enough. Other than that all of religion to me is bullshit, a silly and poorly written fairy story. That being said I wouldn't vote for a Muslim. In the case of this Khan character, being a member of Labour, which has a flake like Corbyn for a leader, which means he has all sorts of idiotic left-wing ideas so there's strike one/two/three against him right there. In a place like London, even if he's secular, Khan is going to have to cater to the entire "community" that voted for him. In other words he'll be like Elizabeth May, going to rallies and gatherings with assholes flying Hamas and Hezbollah banners and if he gets questioned about it he'll go "uhh.....duh" just like May did. This tiff that Labour just had with the anti-semites? Don't expect Khan to say or do anything at all about the gaggle of lefties and fundie Muslim Jew-haters and terrorist-apologists that just voted for him.

BeaverFever and Andy love this kind of story. When shit heads south, and it will, they'll blame white Christians or Jews for the mess this jihadi sympathizer makes.
I'm predicting muslims call for a push of more islamic courts and more suppression of anything they don't like. All with this assholes approval.

England is done. They don't know it yet, and it might take time but they are done.

Well, all nice theories, but none of them show that this election was about religion. And that's quite a majority of Christians that would have to not vote to hand it to Muslims.

45% Voter turnout, an increase of 7% on 2012

I think you're clutching at straws here.

After second votes were counted, he had 1,310,143 votes compared with Mr Goldsmith's 994,614. He tally gave him the largest personal mandate of any politician in UK history.
