Aww didums. ker in the "Do you know this cyclist" thread, Dumb dumb. Things kind of escalated from there.
Perhaps it was because you WERE being a wker. Why not find the quote where I did such a terrible thing But if you cant bear for it and feel the need to chase me round the forum making a
of yourself. Feel free.My favourite is where I mentioned that Id reported my neighbour for having a potentially stolen motorbike on definitely false/wrong plates. And you, who clearly have no interest in motorbikes, stalked me, and then posted numerous times (in fact once duplicating your post cause you're thick!) that I was wasting my time and that of the Police. And that I shouldn't get involved
Yet the majority on that thread thought it was a good use of my time to try and stop crime
It came to nought. The Police didn't investigate. And soon after the bike departed, so I'm disappointed but I'm still happy with my decision now btw.alanwul said:
So nobody is blaming Khan except Rich.
Rich aint even blaming Khan really. But as ever you lot read what you want and not what I meant! But I guess that's just the Labour supporter way. Keep shouting and hoping the nasty Tory will quiet down. Or do you consider yourself Liberals, but only to what you want to hear?He (Khan) ISNT responsible for the terrorist acts. Never said he was! In fact my first post here was in response to someone saying that he was, "because hes Muslim" which is just a daft position to take.
He IS responsible for not upping the budget of the Police when he had the choice, but he chose to put it elsewhere. BUT that doesn't actually mean his choice directly led to this attack or the Deaths! Just that I feel he made the wrong decision and I feel he can be critiqued on it. That comes with the territory as Mayor. He makes decisions, I, as someone who gets to vote for London Mayor get to criticise. Thats Politics!
On a related note. He IS responsible for his choices during his legal career when he took cases AGAINST the Met before he was Mayor. How he feels he can get them on side in light of his history is fairly ridiculous. Much like Corbyn and his IRA, Hammas connections. Or his voting against anti terror legislation. And his views on shoot to kill that proved so needed on Saturday night.
But carry on with your "funny the first time, not the 3rd"
gag...ETA
In other news. I know that AlanWul is a spam account. You've not made a single post in anything motoring related. Which is kinda the point of this site No? Who are you really?

I wonder how many Londoners would vote for a Muslim Mayor say, tomorrow? Or Mancunians in Manchester.
That's irrelevant to whether Sadiq has any responsibility for the attack, which was my pointEdited by s3fella on Sunday 4th June 11:44

No. He doesn't.
He does however have responsibility for assisting the Met. Since he controls their budget
As far as keeping a tab on suspected individuals, I was under the impression that was the MI5's job and not the Met?He does however have responsibility for assisting the Met. Since he controls their budget
As far as responding to these attacks quickly, I'm not sure whose job that is but I'd say 8 minutes from first call to all 3 shot dead is a pretty good response time
So I'm still not sure by which metric Sadiq Khan has failed here?
I also doubt that anyone would be accusing Boris Johnson of not doing enough if he was still the mayor and had enacted exactly the same policies and budgets as Sadiq has

A link posted above shows that most of the Met's budget is based on Govt. funds, which were reduced. A small part of it is derived from Council Tax, something for which Sadiq Khan is responsible for, and something which he increased....Is that not the complete opposite of what you're suggesting?

I'm Spartacus.Spam account? Do you even know what spam is? As for motoring related posts my first love football and you'll find a few of the football posters don't post anywhere else. As for the point of this site, well, over 2/3rds of your posts aren't car related so you kinda disprove your own statement.

Hopkins' tweet last night was more in response to Khan's comment of "Terrorism is part and parcel of living in a big city" from last year than an observation about budget amounts.
Really? I have only seen the tweet posted above; are there other tweets on which your inference is based?Shakermaker said:

That's the bit I replied to.It's hard to say why Khan increased the TfL budget more than the Met Police budget without knowing lots of other factors

Absolutely, there are a huge number of factors that need to be considered, but it might warrant some discussion. Many are criticising TM's decisions to cut police numbers. Many of those same people, are supporters of Khan. However, Khan has the ability to pump more money into policing, which he has done, but people still want more money to go into it, given the recent attacks, but they aren't blaming SK for not spending more of what he had on police. It's hard to say why Khan increased the TfL budget more than the Met Police budget without knowing lots of other factors
Of course, TfL is another organisation that seems to swallow money and is hugely emotive because it has a daily effect on people.. but we're now miles away from talking about how much of a prat Katie Hopkins is.

Rich_W claimed Khan hadn't increased police funding, a link was posted confirming the opposite..
TaFunny how another poster got what I meant! And you'll note that I actually posted the link to the PDF for spending 2017-18
I even said what page it was on! Shakermaker said:
The way I read Rich's earlier post, he is not quite suggesting that - he acknowledges the increase, but is critical that a considerable amount more went to TfL.
My point was as Shakermaker says. People are kicking May for not upping the budget for Police, Khan has some automony to do it himself anyway, but elected not to.Shakermaker said:

As for Hopkins, (point of this thread and all) I am completely uninterested in the faux outrage at her. She's paid to say controversial things. I get no more irritated or supportive of her as a rule
I just recognise that like James O Brian, they're just contrary for the sake of it.Edited by Rich_W on Tuesday 6th June 20:48
