London elects first muslim Mayor.

[4321lynx]

I believe it once was.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Mayor_of_London

According that wiki article, there is a difference between the Lord Mayor of London, and the Mayor of London, with the Lord Mayor having considerably more power, and Khan is the Mayor of London, rather than the Lord Mayor.

The City of London is a area of some 1.10 square miles, corresponding to the historic London and is one of 30-odd municipalities inside Greater London. The precedence and priviliges of the Lord Mayor of London apply inside that tiny area only. The Lord Mayor is not elected. The Mayor of London, who is elected, is mayor of Greater London, a Megalopolis.

Of a city of approx 8.5 million people, which it comprises of approx 12.5% of them being moslems, which in the near future will rise to 20%, then 30% another decade after that, and so on. For those who think it's fine for Subway to use halal foods, Google halal slaughtering methods!

You have a crystal ball.? Islam is not inherited, and this is the UK. not Pakistan. The birthrate of immigrant communities (see this week's Economist) soon adjusts to that of the host population, and only the very rich can afford to live in London anyway, so it will soon be inhabited mainly by Russian criminal billionaires and those who look after empty houses for them.

And who looks after their empty houses? Muslims, that's who.

The crazy bitch's comments on Khan's victory!

Bullshit. Tory politicians who lick the arses of the rich, obviously.

I understand that many people were born with a silver spoon in their mouths, like the Royals for example. But what about poor old Joe Blow who worked 16 hours a day 7 days a week to accumulate a nest egg. Is he also a hated rich person?

Depends how much money he has, obviously. Honest people can't get much under capitalism, as you know.

I know plenty of people who started with ten dollars and today are millionaires. What the fuck are you talking about not making it in a capitalist system?
You certainly wouldn't make it in a socialist system because it would be taken off you and given to Fred who never done a days work in his life!

By people you 'know', you must mean 'imagined'.

There are some Russian billionaires here already on business visas.

Well, I know quite a few people who became millionaires. In fact I'm the odd one out.
One group from Australia, and UK used to clean floors at nigh for a living. The became cleaning contractors, branching out into Painting, decorating and carpet cleaning.
All they did was study marketing and started with letters to all the potential employers in London.
Another person kept getting fired from Courier companies as he just could not get on with his bosses He now owns his own courier company.
Another friend used to borrow £25.00 now and again. He now owns 4 hotels.

Who owned the rest and how did they get it from them? As you know, by thieving and lying. You rob the world and then tell it what a wonderful system you have, while allegedly believing in a religion that instructs you about camels and needle's eyes. A sick lot of buggera!

You're obviously mixing with the wrong people! Remove the blinkers and look at the world around you! You actually may get a surprise. Even the people born into money probably had ancestors who most likely started a business from scratch, or from just pure hard work. Instead of loathing some rich people, you should admire them for their ingenuity and sheer hard work that got them to where they are. The only thieves here are those collecting government benefits and those who refuse a job when jobs are plentiful, and provided by those rich people who are so loathed by the left and by the envious.

And who exactly do you think is 'envious' of confidence-men, burglars, prostitutes and drug-pushers?

 

[Don2 (Don1 Revised)]

Illiberal is also judging someone by their religious affiliation.

Why can't we judge based on religious affiliation? Religious affiliation is shorthand for a number of beliefs and positions that we would otherwise feel ok judging on, no? I can't conclude a whole lot just by knowing somebody is "Muslim" or "Christian", but I can pretty confidently conclude a little, and I can conclude more and more the more specific the denomination or subset of these religions they are identified as being.

It's because they are hasty generalizations.

If you were to believe that you can use
secular >> Islam
to impute
some atheist >> some Christian >> some Muslim

then you get a substantial number of incorrect results, not just simple things like Stalin >> President Obama.

[King] John approached the Caliph of Morocco, Muhammad al-Nasir, for support to transform England into an Islamic kingdom. According to tradition, al-Nasir rebuffed King John to concentrate on his own struggling kingdom.

 

[Jolly_Penguin]

Right, you cannot conclude a whole lot, so why bother?

Because there are some conclusions that I CAN safely reach. Same goes for knowing somebody's political party.

You bullshitted about knowing millionaires who started with $10, and now you post this load of dumbfuckery.

You lied about knowing several people who went from $10 to millionaire. I called you on it because I know from my own experience in the business world--and living with my eyes open--that your claim is totally full or shit.

Besides, damned near everything you write on this forum is outright horseshit, and there no reason to expect a break in that pattern.

Everything you write in the post quoted above is just outright rubbish that is so far off-the-mark, I couldn't possibly include enough Picard facepalms to do it justice.

So I'll just stick to one.


ETA: Come on--what kind of scumbag thinks age pensioners and the disabled (all recipients of government benefits) are thieves?
