Khan orders review of Londons History

[cromwell]

Well you can't ignore history or rewrite it,well you can but what's the point in that....it happened,is often important so you avoid making the same mistakes and look at it in the context of the day.

The guys off his nut and has done nothing in his time as Mayor but give people the raving  hump  

Still I wonder what this review (I thought he said he was skint and needed more funding from central government ?) will come up with .



 :brd:



So I see BLM are having another meet up in London at the weekend all gathering at Nelson Mandela statue in Parliament square .Should he stay or should he go ?   Robert Peels statue just yards away could be in danger (don't mention his fathers on the other side of the Thames ffs ) as is as ever Churchills .



Street names are in danger ,you went to bed living in Plantation road and woke up in St Floyd street .



I wonder If Khan has run this by the Assembly as he is supposed to or just made it up as he trys to jump on another bandwagon (don't answer that )



So we are going to need some new statues apparently along with some street names that reflect diversity . Away you go ,have fun and no pinching or biting .

Saddo really does live up to his name, but it has to be said that he is not without a certain rat like cunning. He has appointed a committee to decide whether or not we are sufficiently right on, so he won't have make a decision anytime soon.



Plus, what sort of opposition is he facing? Shaun Bailey (Conservative) who does not seem to have done anything or Sian Berry (Green) who wants all the skyscrapers to have thatched roofs?



I am waiting to see if there is going to be a Canning Town moment. A while back the tree huggers were dancing in the street and acting like silly buggers in order to stop the ice caps melting and everyone smiled indulgently. Right up until a couple of Extinction Rebellion activists got on a tube train and stopped the commuters getting to work, whereupon the eco warriors were hauled off and given a good kicking.



I can't see Khan losing the mayoral election. He is gutless rubbish but still the best of a bad job. Still, you never know.

I am against erasing history no matter how unpleasant or inconvenient  that history is.
