There will be a lot of unhappy people if it's only London.

Hopefully might be a fee and we can help the EU with there budget.

Thing is it'll probably take some pretty tough action to kurb knife crime that enough of the public would be against happening for one reason or another.

Creating jobs is one factor but an overall clamp down on all crime from petty upwards is needed but that requires money for lots more police.

"nice political stunt to get re elected by remainers. "

Actually the idea dates back to 2017. It was even supported by the then Brexit secretary David Davis.

But hey. If it gives you ammo to have a dig at Khan you go for it.

Seems only us Remainers are capable of research. Maybe brexiters should learn the skill? Although it's a bit late for that really.

The Sooner Money Making London breaks free from theese

subsidised no marks from the

rest of the uk the better.

I dont think ive ever seen crowds flocking to Balmoral to see the changing of the game keepers , or any major trade deals happening in Harrogate or Bicester .

Well done Sadiq

You got my vote.

Make London free of these 50 million + scroungers.

Perhaps if you researched what the EU have to say about it you wouldn't be so excited. The only way you can keep EU citizenship will be to move there

there was a proposal by the SNP a while back that if they were to get independence they would offer anyone in the UK who wanted one a one time offer of scottish nationality, which would then mean scottish passports and probable EU membership....

I don't know if that is the policy still...

Also the statement that London "consistently vote Labour over Conservative" is false. Boris was the mayor before Sadiq. Sadiq has gotten a long run because Tories are running the government. So he was able to claim credit for all good things in London and blame Tories for all bad things. He wouldn't have that scapegoat after next GE.

Is London more inclined to vote for Labour? Sure. But that has more to do with its age and religious demographics and less to do with intelligence. Does London consistently vote for Labour? Not at all.

You have this weird unhealthy obsession with him. You are reviving months old topics.

you can say what want but fact is the Mayoral election in London is 2 weeks away and most people werent aware of it hence why I brought it up so excuse me if you think I have this weird obsession with him its because I dont want him re-elected. His been the worse London Mayor ever and records show it "

Boris wasted £1 billion of taxpayers money on vanity projects. Most other things he did were continuing Ken Livingstone's projects.

I would say Boris has been the worst mayor London had. He just had the privilege of government funding.

As soon as Boris left city hall, funding for TFL etc was slashed (funny eh).

Not really. Financial times reported this too, and they are fairly neutral, albeit economically right leaning.

Well Im not saying Boris was perfect far from it actually but we have to agree to disagree. I mean you're talking from maybe a financial point but on crime in particular knife and murders Sadiq loses on this. Just for the record Sadiq Khan isnt the reason why we have knife crime but under his time as Mayor its got worse. Over a 1000 people in London have been murdered which includes 160 teenagers (and counting) since Sadiq Khan been Mayor. Under Boris Johnson it was 118 teenagers being murdered and Sadiq Khan claims knife crime is down under him? If thats the case then I afraid his up to the job

Boris closed hundred of police stations (fact, not a lefty opinion)

Police numbers fell when Boris was Mayor (fact, not a lefty opinion)

The government has slashed funding for social care and youth centre (fact, not a lefty opinion)

"But ask yourself, why does the most intelligent area in the UK (I.e., London) consistently vote Labour over Conservative? Sorry but there's not much intelligent things to say about whats happening in London at the moment with LTNs in unnecessary places which are causing more pollution and traffic that they were meant to prevent, knife and other crime higher then they were berfore 2016, public transport not up to scratch. Clearly we need change so Chuck the Khan out come next month

Oh i hope he wins,just to see your meltdown on here

Why would you prefer to see someone's meltdown over the good that a change in mind mayor policy have on a massive population group? Strange. "

I want to see the meltdown and if you have a problem with that then tough

Lets not mention about the Government because I want to talk about the London Mayors but yes Boris did close police station and so did Sadiq (35 of them of memory serves)

And I guess you're gonna tell me there's been more TFL and other public sector strikes under Boris right?

Government cuts have attributed to a rise in crime all over the UK. However the rise in London is the lowest compared to the UK. It's important to mention this as there are factors the mayor does not control.

However, closures of police stations and cuts to police are absolutely on the Mayors watch. Boris Johnson reduced police numbers and closed 63 police stations.

TFL has been underfunded since Sadiq Khan was elected. Politically motivated cuts to TFL by the Tories have obviously affected its finances and operation. London receives the least amount of public transport funding than any other major city in the world. That being said, TFL had more debt under Boris Johnson than Sadiq Khan.

Even with some of the points they you've made Im afraid it overlooks the facts that council tax gone up every year since his been Mayor, Was given a £6 billion bailout for TFL, increased congestion charge and expanding it to weekends, expanded ULEZ twice after he said he wouldnt expand it to the whole of London, introduced the dumbest scheme in LTNs which actually cause more pollution then its suppose to prevent all while crime in general is up not down. However I will give Sadiq Khan credit for providing free school meals to primary school children and freezing travel fare on TFL. But after 8 years its time for change

I listened to him being interviewed on Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart’s podcast and I have to say that I was impressed by him and when you listen to the fact that as mayor of London he is only allowed to spend 7per cent of the tax raised in London compared to New York’s 50per cent and Tokyo’s 70per cent and you have to wonder how he has managed to achieve so much with so little and also if he had more money to spend in the first place then perhaps he wouldn’t have been forced to find so many other ways of raising income and upsetting outer Londoners in the process?

"This is what we need, we would definitely go for it as didn't want to loose our EU citizenship status.

there was a proposal by the SNP a while back that if they were to get independence they would offer anyone in the UK who wanted one a one time offer of scottish nationality, which would then mean scottish passports and probable EU membership....

I don't know if that is the policy still..."

I've located my old grandads birth / baptism certificate from Dublin and getting the papers in place to get my Irish passport so the 90/180 rule will not apply for extended holidays and maybe a holiday home.

I'll still keep my British Passport and Paul can piggy back my stays but his 90/180 would start if he stays on and I return home.

Let see how long all this takes, not expecting anything soon.

Anyone else done this?

I already highlighted funding issues. Less funding from central gov=higher council tax. This is happening all over the UK.

Sadiq introduced LTNs?????? I'm sorry this shows how ignorant you are to all of this. Firstly, LTNs are not managed by the mayor, they are managed by local authorities. Secondly, LTNs have been around for decades

Yeah I have surveyed thousands of people not saying I've spoken to every single Londoner but from the pool of people that I have spoken too most of them want Sadiq Khan gone. They annouced just recently that crime in London is up by 38% since his been Mayor. Seriously this cant go on for another 4 years as his had 8 years to deal with it. Not blaming him entirely as the Government has some blame to this too but ask yourself this excluding the poplutaion size why is crime lower in Manchester when its run by a Labour mayor in the form of Andy Burnham.

Unless I’m misunderstanding, population size is a super important factor especially if you look at the data and assess it per capita.

In that regards London is considered safer than a number of other major towns and cities, across a number of metrics for anti social behaviour, murder and knife crime in particular where it stacks up well against the West Midlands, parts of Yorkshire and Cleveland.

Now I’m not saying London isn’t dangerous, and doesn’t have its issues. I live in Newham which is one of the top 3 most dangerous boroughs in the City.

But let’s remember that 20 years ago when Glasgow was the murder capital of Europe no one looked to hold individual elected city officials accountable for their issues.

Sadiq isn’t Batman or an Avenger (depending on your DC vs Marvel preference), he’s an elected official working against incredible constraints

...hell, I'm no fan of his, but even I can see the utter B-S and the toxic moves going on against him!! But if people want to vote for Susan Hall (lol) on the basis that she isn't Sadiq Khan, that she's gonna revoke ULEZ, blah blah blah, all I'll say is be careful what you wish for...

If people actually read my last comment I said I dont blame Sadiq Khan entirely on whats going on in London but after 8 years its time for a new Mayor. Not saying any other canditates would be great but I think they will do at least a marginally better job then Sadiq Khan, however if they dont then they to will be voted out in 4 years time and not 8 years

I suspect they realised that however repulsive she is, Hall would never have rolled back ULEZ when she saw how much lovely money it brings. She's a bigot and a fraud and hopefully will disappear without a trace.

And Baroness Warsi is one of the few sane voices left in the Conservatives!

Worse case scenario was for Sadiq Khan to have another 4 years in City Hall. So it means more LTNs on London roads, More 20 mph roads where its not necessary, higher council taxes, more deaths on London streets in particular with teenagers, more public transport strikes, will be charged to use the Blackwall tunnel and best of them all is there will be a Pay per mile despite saying he wont but he will find a way to bring it in with an excuse as always.

"Worse case scenario was for Sadiq Khan to have another 4 years in City Hall. So it means more LTNs on London roads, More 20 mph roads where its not necessary, higher council taxes, more deaths on London streets in particular with teenagers, more public transport strikes, will be charged to use the Blackwall tunnel and best of them all is there will be a Pay per mile despite saying he wont but he will find a way to bring it in with an excuse as always. So thank you to everyone who voted for this"

I like how someone else continuously pointed out what the mayor is and isn't responsible for yet you are still parroting the same stuff.

Whether he has lost the plot, or not, is irrelevant. He won the election by quite a margin and is clearly the choice of Londoners.

Yes he did and is the choice of a minority of Londoners.

Turnout of about 40%. Says it all really.

All it proves is about 60% of Londoners don’t care who is in charge as will make little or no difference to most

If they were that unhappy with his performance they had the perfect opportunity to get rid of him but chose not to.

Salty tears bingo:

- Low Turnout

- Unfounded claims of postal voter fraud

- "the Muslims voted for him"

Those who vote Conservative are more likely to go out and vote. There was an average swing of 5% from Tory to Labour in most areas.

There has been little to no evidence of postal vote fraud. Many right wing social media bots tried to sow the seed of a rigged election by claiming Susan Hall was close to winning before the count even started.

These bots also claim that the Muslim vote in Tower Hamlets helped Khan win which is rubbish because they don't support him.

The majority of the elctorate doesn't spend their life on Twitter/Facebook/Nextdoor, people forget that.

Well I can also say some people were bribed to voting for Sadiq Khan with the "free" school meal scheme if people want to admit it or not. Words of caution if someone promises you something for free you be crazy enough to believe its free

That means nothing. They had a chance and they did not exercise their chance.

If they were so unhappy they could have voted against him, but they did not.

Their apathy helped him, because their vote did not oppose him. That's on them.

Seeing as you are posting the same thing in more than one thread, so will I…

ALL politicians bribe the electorate with promises of something some of them want! Tax cuts. Tighter immigration rules. Nationalisation. Privatisation. Banning this or unbanning that. Etc etc

No, there's a lot that can go wrong with having Oxford Street pedestrianised like it can be danger spot for terrorism with emergency services having trouble reaching the location as an example

The thing with Sadiq is every idea he has he thinks is a good idea without thinking of the consequences. The low emission zone is backed up by false science. If a cow farts in Slough the wind usually goes in the direction of London so that fart isn't being charged emissions charge, yet if a car's emissions in the east of London get charged that same wind blows it towards Essex, also catalytic converters were already on cars reducing emissions and gas boilers and heating systems in businesses and factories are emitting more Carbon monoxide than cars.

The pedestrianisation of Oxford street won't bring Oxford Street back to life because the shops are the same as any High Street around Britain.

It wouldn't make a difference to me as I have no intention of going there with or without cars.

Thing is he puts so much energy on crazy green schemes but can't seem to put that same energy to help stop knife crime in London. Not to say it's his fault why we have knife crime in London as it's not but it's got worse since his been Mayor unless the reason why he doesn't do anything about it is because the people who commit the crimes are his supporters

Most vehicles going through the Oxford street are going to other places, not to Oxford street itself. They will emit the same amount of gases, only in the nearby streets. Probably even more because of the traffic

I have to walk through Oxford street because I work nearby. It's mostly tourists. You will see a huge number of pedestrians usually taking the tube to visit places nearby. Not many actually walking into those shops.

It's a great place for the phone stealing moped scumbags though. Maybe this is Sadiq's master plan after all. To stop these theives.

Dont need to do that with this scheme, apparently i heard there was a by election yesterday in the West End part of Westminster and the Tories won it. While I'm not their biggest fan, they are certainly dead against Oxford Street being pedestrianized so I'm sure they will fight against it happening which I agree

Because the alternate roads around the area are already congested and this is bound to cause more traffic jams. And there is absolutely nothing that we gain by pedestrianising the street.

Plus the dangers of making Oxford Street pedestrianised is Disabled people will have difficulty accessing there, more crime likely to be committed with no police to chase, people who work in the area probably might have a hard time reaching if there's any strikes or delays on tube with no buses or taxes allowed in the area no more. Also for example if there was a terrorism incident, how are emergency service meant to access the area when vehicles (or bikes ) are no longer able to access Oxford Street?

I walk by that road everyday. Even with just taxis and buses, there are numerous vehicles going that way. I am yet to hear a valid reason why it has to be pedestrianised. It's just a populist move by Sadiq which his followers blindly lap up.

They wouldn't admit it even if the truth slaps them on their face.

Remember the thread about the 20mph limit in Wales? The amount of mental gymnastics they did to support it just because it was a move made by politicians they like was laughable. Now the Welsh government is reverting to 30mph in "some roads". I wonder how they are going to explain that.

Apparently this project would cost £150M. Sadiq says it would be partly covered by local businesses. Yeah they will

For someone who keeps throwing tantrums about not getting enough funds to fix major issues in the city, he seems to be wasting too much money on shit no one asked for. Like throwing 6M pounds on rebranding the Overground lines. And now this.

And people still don't see him for the fraud that he is?

Have they not given a reason for this change? I would have thought they would have put forward something. I am not from there and hardly ever visit London but assume it would make for a slightly better shopping experience if there are no vehicles. On the downside it could well increase pollution if the nearby streets get more congested, so not great for the environment. I assume there will be some access for delivers and possibly to let disabled people get close to where they want to go

"Not sure what he gets by pedestrianising Oxford Street. Those candy shops have already killed most of the street.

Reductions in air pollution a bad thing?

Most vehicles going through the Oxford street are going to other places, not to Oxford street itself. They will emit the same amount of gases, only in the nearby streets. Probably even more because of the traffic

Actually, most traffic is banned from Oxford Street already. Much of it is buses and taxis only.

I walk by that road everyday. Even with just taxis and buses, there are numerous vehicles going that way. I am yet to hear a valid reason why it has to be pedestrianised. It's just a populist move by Sadiq which his followers blindly lap up.

Have they not given a reason for this change? I would have thought they would have put forward something. I am not from there and hardly ever visit London but assume it would make for a slightly better shopping experience if there are no vehicles. On the downside it could well increase pollution if the nearby streets get more congested, so not great for the environment. I assume there will be some access for delivers and possibly to let disabled people get close to where they want to go"

He says pedestrianising the street would "revive" the street as though the buses and taxis are the reason why it's dying.

"Plus the dangers of making Oxford Street pedestrianised is Disabled people will have difficulty accessing there,

Surely access will be easier if there are no vehicles to avoid and no kerbs.

more crime likely to be committed with no police to chase,

This doesn't make sense. Police can be on foot too.

people who work in the area probably might have a hard time reaching if there's any strikes or delays on tube with no buses or taxes allowed in the area no more.

Busses and taxis will still access the area. Just not Oxford street itself.

Also for example if there was a terrorism incident, how are emergency service meant to access the area when vehicles (or bikes ) are no longer able to access Oxford Street? Don't think these things are considered before they are announced

Like any other pedestrianised street, it opens for emergency vehicles.

Excellent. Now all that's debunked, you can get behind the idea? Well until you have a reason for Oxford Street to pedestrianized then my reasons why it shouldn't are valid"

I have no opinion either way.

Just helping you out with the worries. As pointed out, none of them are valid, and there's nothing for you to be concerned about.

I like the idea of it, I do think it could attract visitors to the area of they did something interesting with the space (street markets, small independent vendors etc).

But I can't get behind it until I see a proper, well thought out management plan for the displaced traffic.

The reason why Oxford street started dying is the same as the reason why many high streets are dying. People don't go out to shop as much as before. Oxford street is particularly affected because of the insane amount of tourists there. Pedestrianising it is not going to solve any of these issues.

End of the day, he is going to waste tax payer money on this, while causing traffic around the place, conveniently forget about it and then crying about how he could solve all the problems in the city, if only he had more funding.

And his supporters will also believe it blindly. Anyway he can't complain about Tories not giving him enough money anymore. We have a labour government now.

It's also funny watching the "pro-science" and "pro-environment" folks conveniently ignore the emissions around the place that will be inevitably caused by the traffic congestion in the roads around the street.

"Apparently this project would cost £150M. Sadiq says it would be partly covered by local businesses. Yeah they will

For someone who keeps throwing tantrums about not getting enough funds to fix major issues in the city, he seems to be wasting too much money on shit no one asked for. Like throwing 6M pounds on rebranding the Overground lines. And now this.

And people still don't see him for the fraud that he is? Im just baffled on why people voted for him for the third time as Mayor but cant justify or articulate their reasons for it other then he isn't Tory"

Maybe they think that your mind is so fixed that they don't want to expend the energy on a site which is about swinging?

Just a thought

Don’t know about others, but I am starting to get a sneaking feeling that Caribbean King doesn’t like Sadiq Khan (or Labour) very much. Not sure why? Call it a hunch

It's a valid question for you, no doubt driven by what seems to be an obsession about him but you might have more of a response asking in the London forum or even asking people locally to where you live..

In fairness, this chap did say he personally surveyed over 4000 people on the streets of London. Although none of them apparently supported Khan.

I suppose it is statistically plausible..

The fact that he has been elected by the people of London 3 times suggests his Echo chamber is bigger than yours.

Yeah i have from 2020 so 4 years until just after the last Mayoral election. It's impossible to speak to 4000 in a couple of weeks. Also I said most not all of the 4000 people I've spoken to said they don't like or would vote for Sadiq Khan. So while 4000 people doesn't reflect the wider population of London it does make me wonder who really is voting for him
