"well since the majority in london voted remain... and it was a london fireworks display paid for by london councils in conjunction with the london mayor.... i don't see an issue with it also.... edinburgh basically did the same thing with their fireworks display as well..." My views exactly...   | |||

"If one has to politicise a simple fireworks display (which in itself it a rather dumb thing to do) then let us bear in mind that a)52% voted leave, and b)a mere 13% of the UK population live in London. As such I think it would have fair to have displayed the EU flag on 6.7% of the London eye - i.e. about two cabins. Clearly that would have been a balanced and proportional display. To go "EU silly" was well, a bit silly. " It was a pathetic political stunt pulled by the remoaner Sadiq Khan, not representative of the country as a whole. Was an insult to the majority 52% who voted Leave. | |||

it was paid partly by london councils, partly by the london regional assembly, and partly with the london mayoral office....
london voted overwhelmingly remain.....
the same thing happened in Edinburgh, edinburgh voted remain, scotland voted remain.....
all they did was show the majority views of the people in those parts of the country...
if a west midlands council had had a display which basically said "FUEU" that would have been there decision... "they should do the angel of the north in red white and blue in that case Fabio you would have a fanny fit lol | |||

"How many homeless could that money have helped....total self indulgence of a crap mayor...remember ya day job Muppet " How many of the uk homeless people could we help if we weren’t flushing billions down the Brexit toilet? All of them is the answer. But doesn’t mean that if we weren’t wasting all this money on ruining our own country that the politicians would spend it on anything good. Useless sacks of shit. | |||

"The London Eye was prominently lit up in the blue and yellow pattern of the EU flag whilst messages saying “London is open” was flashed out in several European languages. So what was it - a defiant message from Londoners arguing for its special place in Europe or was it as Roger Helmer, said: “While the UK is locked in critical negotiations with Brussels, Sadiq Khan chooses to display the other side’s flag on the London Eye. Would he have shown an Argentinian flag during the Falklands war?” Personally, I think it was a controversial and yet admirably defiant message to send and I think that Roger Helmer (like many Brexiters) is an ideological driven nut job who sees conflict where there should be friendship." I think it was saying yes we're leaving, but were still trading partners with you and still open for business | |||

Please either come up with a better insult name all by yourself (I'm sure you are smart enough to do that) or just stick to calling Brexiteers the woefully rubbish name "Gammon". Thanks in advance folks. Ha, given how the leave campaign was basically project fear the brown people and then coined the term project fear I think fair's fair. Snowflake. X Snowflake wasn’t invented by brexiteers. It’s been in existence for yonks. As has libtards. The other favourite. Can I claim snowman. It’s like a strawman argument. But instead of beating it with a counter argument, you just get emotional and angry at the situation/argument which wasn’t made. "I'm pleased to announce that your entry was the winner ! It was also the only entry, but don't let that dishearten you. I shall call myself and all my friends of similar political persuasion snowmen from now on. My only reservation is that perhaps the term should be "snowperson" or "snow-being", as not to upset the snowflakes. What do you think ? x | |||

"Crikey fireworks! The only fireworks I saw new years eve where in the bedroom, wrapped in a tricolour and a jack flag, sipping cold Nicolas Feuillatte and eating homemade safron ice cream. Doing my utmost to improve French Anglo relationships! 3.2 million on a load of expensive explosions could have built how many homeless centres and accommodation?! Just about sums up the mentality of the GLC! If there is that amount of money to allocate to a firework display, perhaps more worthy causes could benefit. Ohh and those fireworks contribute to pollution, so all you folks on the save the planet mantra, of which I believe Mr Khan is, well done bit more pollution that London and the planet can't cope with! Just saying now.... ?? a) they didn't spend anymore on this specific display than they have in the past... b) you must really get annoyed when local councils have displays on the 5th nov or there abouts! did you make the same arguement then.... or is it only this one you seem to argue against! a) the figure came from the mirror newspaper. Not that I read the shite, just was curious on how much the spectaculars cost. b) I'm not annoyed about anything just the hypocrisy that politicians spout. The amount of money that's available for fireworks from local councils when they plead poverty from government spending cutbacks. The Hypocrisy when these politicians spout green credentials and save the planet, yet such displays contribute to the very subject they bang on about. " Knife crime in London has skyrocketed under Sadiq Khan's watch, maybe the money would have been better spent in that area tackling the London knife crime epidemic. I think Sadiq Khan has just proved with this completely pointless political stunt what a shit mayor he really is, and has got his priorities all wrong. | |||

"As long as I don't have to pay for it, I don't care. " I'm sure there will be a report somewhere that says the, what, £2m spent on fireworks generates X x £2m for the London economy. But I don't care. It's London. London left the United Kingdom a long time ago. | |||

"Any one else notice how the remainer snowflakes have now pinched the term and starting to call Brexiteers snowflakes ! Seriously can the remainers not come up with their own insulting name rather than pinching the term that the Breixteers coined.

x"Actually “snowflake” was a term the American alt-right used as a insult to anyone who called them out on their racism. I personally wouldn’t associate “snowflake” as something specifically used in the uk by Brexiteers. | |||

"If one has to politicise a simple fireworks display (which in itself it a rather dumb thing to do) then let us bear in mind that a)52% voted leave, and b)a mere 13% of the UK population live in London. As such I think it would have fair to have displayed the EU flag on 6.7% of the London eye - i.e. about two cabins. Clearly that would have been a balanced and proportional display. To go "EU silly" was well, a bit silly.
It was a pathetic political stunt pulled by the remoaner Sadiq Khan, not representative of the country as a whole. Was an insult to the majority 52% who voted Leave.
Pst..
It was a display in London, for the people of and visitors to that city..
Its not put on for the whole country..
Ps, how did London vote again?
The country, not London, voted.
London, not the country, paid for the display. So get over it snowflake.
Well I hope you enjoyed the brief entertainment while it lasted on new years eve because come March 29th your EU membership is going up in smoke just like those crappy fireworks. "You’re too funny to be for real. I’m never sure if you believe the nonsense you post here or if you’re actually an intelligent guy just playing the little-Britian-village-idiot character. I’m more convinced now that you’re just winding people up! | |||

"The London Eye was prominently lit up in the blue and yellow pattern of the EU flag whilst messages saying “London is open” was flashed out in several European languages. So what was it - a defiant message from Londoners arguing for its special place in Europe or was it as Roger Helmer, said: “While the UK is locked in critical negotiations with Brussels, Sadiq Khan chooses to display the other side’s flag on the London Eye. Would he have shown an Argentinian flag during the Falklands war?” Personally, I think it was a controversial and yet admirably defiant message to send and I think that Roger Helmer (like many Brexiters) is an ideological driven nut job who sees conflict where there should be friendship." Is reviving nationalism, the "I am proud to be..." (Fill the dots) feeling; the type of message that touches little engeland and their knickers-wearing men. | |||
