How refreshing to see someone of his standing come out and say he wears a "Badge of Shame" over the Anti Semetic shadows cast by some of the Labour Party.

If I lived in London I think he would get my vote.

Londoners do you think he could do the job?

Considering the amount of cyclists in London (as a form of transport rather than a sport), and the mount of Londoners that don't own cars, Goldsmith's talk of tearing up Cyucle Superhighways is going to alienate him from a lot of people. And I think in a city with a transport infrastructure that is pretty much on it;s knees he is very out of touch trying to sell himself t the motor lobby.

And a potential Mayor of London who's lack of knowledge of London is such that he can't answer simple questions about the tube network or the capital's football teams? To mr that seems to be far more about career politics than London

There are more joggers using the cycle lanes than cyclists. All the cycle lanes have managed to do is clog up and cause more congestion and pollution in the metropolis. The cycling lobby consists of influential male figures with too much power. The green lobby has a very narrow vision on how to cut pollution. There are 30% less vehicles coming into the centre of town but average speeds have dropped and pollution levels have gone up.

The Evening Standard (hardly left leaning) did some research last year that showed 1 in 4 road users in morning rush hour was cyclists.

Cyclists don't cause congestion, they reduce it. Imagine all those people in cars. Or even trying to get on buses. How would that improve things?

And how do cyclists cause pollution?

Do you have any evidence at all (beyond a picture that's in the news today) that more runners use cyclepaths than cyclists do?

Let me just get this right then.

Because we've put in cycle lanes in London average car speeds have gone down and hence pollution has increase. That is your case?

So if we want to reduce pollution, which I'm sure we all do, all we should do is remove all the cycle lanes.

Is that correct?

I think they were referring to the fact that is now takes 40 minutes to drive what used to take 10 minutes. So now you have hundreds of cars moving very slowly or stationery pumping out fumes.

So it's cyclists fault that London is congested? The Congestion Charge. the clue is in the name, and it predates the cycling infrastructure by many years. It;s not a new problem.

Yes, I think they were too.

Stupid of them really, don't you think? Especially since average traffic speeds in central London has been constant at about 9mph since I can remember. And a 40minute journey done in 10minutes would imply they used to travel in central London at an average speed of 36mph.

You're right about the pumping out fumes too. You'd have thought more of the car drivers might have learned how to turn off their engine during all that waiting, wouldn't you.

on the road to nowhere in particular

When the congestion charge was first introduced, the number of cars coming into the zone decreased by 25%. By closing off roads, taking out lanes and introducing pinch points at major junctions traffic speed dropped by 30%. Official TFL figures. When the congestion charge was extended west, journey times increased again. The cycle superhighway on the embankment has closed off many of the roads meaning other traffic on already congested roads must now take longer detours on already heavily used roads. This means more pollution and congestion. The scheme in Hyde park means more motor traffic in the already busy Bayswater and Kensington areas. The proposed scheme for Regent's Park affects Camden and surrounding areas which will soon suffer even more upheaval when work on HS1 starts.

Central London is gridlocked by Mayoral vanity schemes

In a city covering over 750 miles in area, cycling is not a convenient option for everyone.

I drive in London because I have to, mainly Sundays because the trains don't run when I start or finish work.

So at those times doing 20mph + wasn't a problem for most of the journey. Now Sunday afternoon/evening the Embankment is grid locked. Tfl have decided to do major road works in the surrounding area, so it's pointless trying different routes without going massively out of my way.

Seeing that the Embankment is one of the main routes through London it does seem daft to lose one lane of traffic.

Yes a lot of car drivers do switch their engine off when stationery but often the traffic is crawling, so you can't...

Where to start:

1) Greens, tree-hugging or not, have never been in power in London. It would be plain silly to blame them for London policies.

2) 'near 20 hour stand still' -I assume you mean a 20mph standstill. First, 20mph is not a standstill. Second, average traffic speeds in London have been fairly constant at 9mph for a long time, so 20mph would be a vast improvement. Thirdly, 20mph is anyway the maximum permissible speed on many London roads.

3) 'Because of' generally implies some form of logical causal link provided to the reader. You know, something like 'Because I'm opinionated, I write rubbish'. You don't though provide any evidence of a logic of what the causal link my be - so it makes it look ridiculous.

I hope that helps show what is absolutely ridiculous in your OP.

Green Party had more influence than they had any right to according to how many seats they held when Livingstone was in power because they had the swing vote in an evenly matched assembly. The 9mph average speed is a myth, that was the average speed of a Routemaster bus in London. One man buses are much slower. Horses didn't move much above walking pace. In the interim years the average speed is much higher than it is now. TFL have brought in harebrained traffic schemes at important junctions and intersections like Elephant and Castle. It now takes a bus moving from its stand to the first stop 100 yards away 13 minutes to get there.

Well not hugely

This begins as a discussion of Labour hopeful, Khan, and quickly develops in to a rant about the state of public transport (a favoured topic for Londoner - bottom line, so long as you don;t have to move in rush hours, you;re fine, otherwise you're fucked).

London was never built with cars in mind but developed organically. There are too many cars and the best answer is better public transport.

I think cyclists are a danger to themselves and others, having lived at E&C roundabout, 8 floors up for 17 years, I've seen it all.

There is a dearth of talent in British politics at the moment. Val Shawcross is wasted in the London Assembly. With little to distinguish the partys on many issues, it is a crying shame that attitudes and loyalties are becoming more and more tribal.

On another note, this week has seen a major restructuring of the running of the London Underground. Hundreds of staff have been relocated with a change in their working practices. Nobody is quite sure what is going on, least of all the senior management. If there are any snafus please don't take it out on the staff

Either of those candidates are bad news for London. Khan is using his mayoral role to advance his political career with an eye on a PM or at least a ministerial job. If not that, he will be going to work for a Bank or an international think-tank. He cares little about London or Londoners. He used to sign TfL posters with "Mayor of London Sadiq Khan" when the TfL were promoting cheap bus fares, but only with "Mayor of London" when there were planned closures announced. Goldsmith is a Tory and they have not been very good at running the country lately.

Since Sadiq Khan been Mayor of London, this is the facts.

1000 murders have been committed under his watch, including 160 teenage murders.

Council Tax has risen every year since his been in office.

Expanded ULEZ zone twice under 2 years

Increased Congestion Charge to £15 and expanded it to weekends.

Introduced the craziest scheme ever in the form of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods in unecessary places causing more unecessary pollution and traffic.

Introduced 20mph hour speed limits in unecesssary roads which again causes more pollution

Hasnt met housing targets since his been Mayor although housing targets havent been met across the country so might give him a pass on that.

Will charge people to use the Blackwall Tunnel next year

The only thing few things I give him credit for is the free school meals and the hopper fare but Im afraid its time for a new Mayor

"Since Sadiq Khan been Mayor of London, this is the facts.

1000 murders have been committed under his watch, including 160 teenage murders.

Council Tax has risen every year since his been in office.

Expanded ULEZ zone twice under 2 years

Increased Congestion Charge to £15 and expanded it to weekends.

Introduced the craziest scheme ever in the form of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods in unecessary places causing more unecessary pollution and traffic.

Introduced 20mph hour speed limits in unecesssary roads which again causes more pollution

Hasnt met housing targets since his been Mayor although housing targets havent been met across the country so might give him a pass on that.

Will charge people to use the Blackwall Tunnel next year

The only thing few things I give him credit for is the free school meals and the hopper fare but Im afraid its time for a new Mayor

He's just proven time and time again that he doesn't care about blue collar workers.

I wonder how many of those policies would of caused outrage and disgust if they had been implemented by a Tory mayor?

There's a poll out to say Sadiq Khan has a 25 point lead over his nearest rival. But I'm thinking that can't be right given that most people I've spoken to are not looking to vote for him. I'm sure they're made up figures

Silence.Tube drivers chanting 'river to the sea' over the PA,TFL bus drivers refusing to pick up Jewish students,Jewish people hiding their identity just to walk the streets? Silence.He is in no position to claim islamaphobia after calling moderate Muslims "Uncle Tom's".The Nightmayor of London is mentally and intellectually incapable of having any discussion or addressing any point/question,he instantly starts name calling.Racist,islamaphobe,far right,brexiteer,anti vaxxer,climate denier etc.Its my view or no view,is his extremist view and there is a delicious irony in that.

People don't always understand the difference between Islam and Islamist (political Islam) and radical nutters certainly rule the streets 'round here.

I live in Tower Hamlets; PLO flags on every other lamppost and I've already seen a car today, plastic wrapped in green, white and black, with 'from the river to the sea' across the side.

He has no sincerity, but unfortunately there is no charismatic competition, ready to take the helm - I don't think any other party wants London tbh.

I can't vote for any of the candidates as I live a few hundred metres over the border and, in any case, our local elections are always a year different.

However, I am certainly impacted by how they do the job.

Luckily I drive older Japanese vehicles which were born with engines which met the spec before it was drawn up by Europe ( a place which I am told we don't belong to any more) . Otherwise I would be peeved at an arbitrary new boundary which divides essentially similar areas of equal traffic density and susceptibility or otherwise to pollution.

From a more altruistic stand point, I remain perplexed by how two adjacent contiguous suburban boroughs can be so very different where penalising car owners is concerned.

I'm not agreeing with the posters view on Khan, but what I do know is Khan tried to capitalise on Anderson's comments for political gain using racism and Islamophobia as his points of attack. He took to many platforms and created his own video to emphasise this over and over.

99% of the country believe Anderson was wrong in what he said, Khan stirred hard and with it comes more unrest, more divide and Khan will not take any responsibility for unrest as he will take a moral high ground.

Assuming you talked to people for about ten minutes on average, and we'll take a low thousands, at 2000.

That's about 333 hours "at least" spent talking to strangers about Khan. Or nearly 14 days. Two weeks solidly talking about him.

For the most part they are. People have praised him for the hopper fare, introducing 24/7 tube service during the weekends and providing free school meals for kids as well as making London cleaner to breathe apparantly which I think its down to ULEZ. But most dont like the fact that crime seems worse then it was under Johnson. They were other things too like council tax going up every year and those who drive dont like road closures with these LTNs while those who dont drive do. Also from what we gathered they liked the cycyle lanes but felt some of them were in places where they shouldnt be. But overall crime was probably the top issue that people didnt like about him and his response to it

Islamophobia is a form of racism. It can be argued that that Islamophobic political discourse is dominated by anti-Muslim racism, which disguises itself as anti-Islam bigotry.

It’s a way of being racist without being overtly racist. It has the exact same effect. Anderson is a ghoul who panders to a small bunch of fellow hate believers.

No it really isn’t.

Racism is very clearly defined, and Muslims exist in all races.

The whole religion is not a race comment.

A dictionary definition of Islamophobia is as follows

“unreasonable dislike or fear of, and prejudice against, Muslims or Islam”

Would you consider antisemitism to be a form of racism? Because that is widely accepted as so.

Just like homophobia is a prejudice against gay people, male or female.

Antisemitism is racism because jews are ethnoreligious groups. And Hitler's views were based on bloodlines and not religion. A Jewish person who converted to Christianity would be still considered an enemy by Hitler.

Islamaphobia is commonly understood as a form of racism. If you're determined to try to undermine people who call out racism, in whatever form, by arguing semantics. Then I don't know why you're finding it so hard to provide an alternative descriptive word.

Islamophobia is not a form of racism. Would you say someone bashing Christians as racist too? Would you call anyone who makes fun of Scientologists racists too?

If you want to defend a religion and it's followers irrespective of its values, then you need to do it for all religions. I will start a religion tomorrow that says anyone who beats up their neighbours everyday will get to go to heaven and you need to defend that religion too.

Maybe you'd like to give it a try?

I don't have a word. But that doesn't mean I should use the word racist. I don't have a word to describe you. Shall I call you a racist? Or do you prefer transphobe? Maybe far-right?

If there's no word that you want people to use. Why are you so upset about people using the word "racist"?

Call me whatever makes you happy.

"Islamaphobia" is NOT racist and anyone saying it is has severe mental deficiencies

You could argue that it's bigotry

But Islam, like all religions, is just an idea, and all ideas can be critiqued and ridiculed to your heart's content

People only conflate it with racism to make it seem precious

No religion is precious
