Shouldn't the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, stop behaving like a spoilt petulant pseudo-socialist child and rise above his popularist view of Donald Trump and behave with more political decorum as his office befits?

He should, but he can't.

I wonder if he would allow an anti Khan demonstration, complete with giant inflatable baby Khan flying over London.

Why should he?... he has been publicly attacked and lied about by Trump on numerous occasions, and his responses have been measured and appropriate

Hear, hear! even if he personally disagrees with him, he should rise above it after New Labour, which he was at the centre of, welcomed far worse heads of state and dignitaries with open arms.

Khan is a disgrace to public office and the whole blimp thing is childish! Like trump or not he is the president of the u.s and should be shown the dignity and respect any visiting head of state would be shown! Would Khan have given the green light to a blimp of the president of Pakistan? I seriously doubt it....

I can give a direct personal reason. I work in the steel industry and his tariffs of steel imports to America could cost jobs in this country.

But hey, as long as the trendy pseudo-socialists lefties can have a chuckle while reading the Guardian in their Islington coffee pattiserie shops who gives a toss about Northern unemployment!

That's not a reason though is it? Be nice to the Donald or he'll put tarriffs on? We shouldn't run scared of the guy. In any case he wants tarriffs in spite of the jobs it will cost (in the USA as well as other countries).

It is! Also if Obama would have said that you can grab women by the pussy the same people will demand his immediate resignation and still be quoting him. Bloody double standard.

Khan may seem like an outsider to some people but he is defending against Trump’s attacks towards your own city and country!

Trump is also the guy who likes Britain First and says you need more guns.

I don’t know what he will have to do and say to wake up people from hypnotism

I think it look worse (and possibly unlawful) if he tried to stop it.

He will have been advised by lawyers as to whether he legally has power to stop it. I suspect they told him he couldn't.

If right wingers had any sense they would raise money to do a blimp of Khan and apply for permission to fly it, rather than moan about this.

He would then have to either let them fly it or be open to a charge of hypocrisy. They win either way.

I'm all for lawful protest, but this balloon was just puerile. Also, aren't we all desperately trying to rid ourselves of the need for using plastic? These protesters seem similar to those who bully small businesses into not using plastic straws, but have no problem flying a huge "fuck you" to everyone trying to do their bit for the environment. Not funny. Not clever. There are better ways.

Yes, thank you.

I think the difference between the two groups is that one spreads hate and intolerance when it demonstrates whereas the the other group demonstrates against hate and intolerance.

For anyone that would suggest that the baby blimp of Trump is disgusting and the equivalent to hate crime... you aren't serious are you? It's no different to any of the cartoon character puppets that Spitting image used to give us, it's just political satire! Trump has broad shoulders, he knows it comes with the territory. If he doesn't give a fuck about some of the things he's said and done, he's not going to give a fuck about the balloon! Why does anyone feel the need to be offended on his behalf?

I think any balloon made by the EDL, whatever the subject matter would probably be far more offensive.

As far as I'm aware, the EDL do get to demonstrate and exercise their right to freedom of speech, they just have to adhere to the same laws as everyone else with regards to hate speech and crime which, they obviously find more difficult to do because of their message and agenda. Maybe they should try a more satirical method of getting their hate (sorry, I mean opinion) across!

"I wonder if he would allow an anti Khan demonstration, complete with giant inflatable baby Khan flying over London.

Here I was shouting at radio today! He calls it freedom of speech, how is it freedom of speech ? These people are preaching their hatred of a man, telling him to leave the country, you are not welcome here etc etc

What if the EDL were out in London today flying the above Khan baby etc etc, I bet that wouldn't be freedom of speech!!

It's disgusting that Khan has allowed this to happen! It has proved completely that it's one rule for one and......well you get what I'm saying

Are you saying that you are a member of EDL and that you are upset because you weren't allowed to fly your racist balloon?

Err NO, I was merely offering an alternative example of a group of people that spread and bread hatred but are chastised for doing so! And are refused the "freedom of speech" that these particular bigots were granted. Does that clear up my comment?

Yes, thank you.

"Shouldn't the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, stop behaving like a spoilt petulant pseudo-socialist child and rise above his popularist view of Donald Trump and behave with more political decorum as his office befits?"

Shouldn't Trump behave like a President of the US of A instead of an advertisement for his Scottish golf course?

"Interesting how the right and particularly the far-right have banged on about freedom of speech, snowflakes and libtards .... now getting pissy about a minor protest, a big balloon and wanting censorship. Get a grip ffs, it's a big balloon ridiculing a ridiculous man. its the blimp that's ridiculous .this country needs to get a grip . like or loathe trump he is US president .you can mock the man but don't knock the position .too many idiots in the UK

Just out of interest... why shouldn’t we knock the position?

I can give a direct personal reason. I work in the steel industry and his tariffs of steel imports to America could cost jobs in this country.

But hey, as long as the trendy pseudo-socialists lefties can have a chuckle while reading the Guardian in their Islington coffee pattiserie shops who gives a toss about Northern unemployment! "

His steel tariffs are about appeasing his base. He gives not one jot for Northern employment or unemployment here because we can't vote him in or out. If you think treating him like the pampered prince he has been all his life will appease him you haven't been looking closely enough.

I'm not sure the "Khan should respect the office of the President of the United States" argument really holds water...

I mean - Trump doesn't, and he bloody *is* the President!

To be honest, I don't think Donald Trump give a shit about the protest in London, it wont change anything, just waste an effort and Khan should resign as the Mayor of London, since he took office, crime levels have rocketed up and London is more violent place than New York, it would be good to have a baby Khan balloon to fly over London in August.

I find it much more interesting how the far left only agree with freedom of speech when whoever is speaking agrees with their views. If they dont they are the quickest to try and shout them down and stop them from speaking.

Political satire? This goes way further than political satire, a hate mob who would love nothing more than to bring him down, kick him out of our country etc etc!

You say our PM should get hard with him and put Britain first etc well isn't that just what he is doing for America?

I bet you voted remain??

And the final line is why these threads belong on the politics board. Is it possible to have any discussion without it being brought down to Brexit supporters and opposition?

But the article actually says that London's murder rate is currently higher than New York's.
