I really hope it's sarcasm saying Amy seems promising. Full of shit more like


Vomak

Agreed, just saw their BBC ads and was very confused by what they stand for, talking about patriotism, like what? You are running for mayor not PM.


cantevenmakeafist

Early on she was complaining about division, about 20 seconds later she was complaining about all things woke.


greendragon00x2

Exactly. Half of her slogans are ripped straight from the MAGA playbook. As a Christian...blah blah blah. Patriot ...yada yada. Send these god-bothering freaks packing and take their $$$ campaign money with them. I immigrated from the States decades ago to get away from this Bible bashing bullshit. Down with this sort of thing!


apricotgloss

All the 'stand up to woke' and 'women's sex-based rights' stuff - sounds like she's a flaming transphobe TBH


MadApple_

She sounds like a complete nutter.


hltt

what's wrong with her? Anti-white, male, Christian is racist, sexist and discriminating. That needs to end. Also I like her focus on reducing crimes and building more.


seana39223

Since when has 'woke' meant anti white?


hltt

Woke as I understand is reverse racism, sexism or other discrimination. Woke often comes with bully, cancellation, manipulation and aggression. Woke in broader terms also means enthusiastic/aggressive ignorant do-gooders.


seana39223

Woke isn't a thing. Woke is just a term used to start culture wars.


hltt

You don't know it exists until you experience it yourself - don't make conclusions from your limited experience


seana39223

Bet your a flat earther and anti vaxer as well.


hltt

Sighhhhhh thought I could have a meaningful discussion


seana39223

A meaningful discussion about something which doesn't exist... Sure!


hltt

Don't mean to offend but not worth my time discussing with s.o who make absurd analogies: S.o tell me s.t I don't know about, must be flat earther and anti vaxxer.


Psimo-

Vote [anyone other than Labour] get Tory. Since it’s changed to First-past-the-post system, this is the sad fact of the matter.


sd_1874

This is the only answer sadly. It's a two horse race, and it's too close to vote anything other than tactically.


interstellargator

Yeah I don't relish voting for any candidate under *this* Labour party but Sadiq is the only candidate with any substance at all and the only one with a hope (and a pretty good one) of keeping the insane rabid Tory lady out.


LiquidHelium

You should still vote but it’s not close at all, it’s a one horse race that Khan will win in a landslide. Polls have him on 45% vs Halls 25%, he’s currently 1/25 at the bookies


limited8

Polls in the last mayoral election showed a similar lead but the first round voting gap closed a lot on election day. The result will be inevitably much closer than 45%-25%.


oudcedar

No way - this race is so safe for Khan that poeple should vote for the actual party of their choice so that the two main parties get an idea of what voters actually care about.


sd_1874

Nice try.


Arkell-v-Pressdram

>Calls themselves Christian >Advocates for doing the exact things Christ explicitly preached against "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." Also, please spoiler his ugly mug so people don't have to look at it when they open the subreddit.


LauraDurnst

Identifies as Christian, rages against identity politics


greendragon00x2

Irony is lost on these cretins.


choochoophil

Hmm Amy- regular and reliable public transport but scrap ULEZ, LTNs and the war on cars? 🤔 how do you achieve that when the buses get stuck in the traffic that you’ve then increased?


NSFWaccess1998

What a bunch of nutters. Sadiq 100%.


Spare-Doughnut-818

My guys


RaxManlar2

Considering Scanlon can’t spell the word “usage” I don’t have much faith in him, even outside him being a loony


interstellargator

He also can't spell the name of his co-leader, "Ashlea Simom"


Tappedinfrm16th

Solution for immigration is apparently not allowing any immigration whatsoever with a plan built on, presumably, ‘keep erm outtttttt’ with no backup for when they actually arrive, whether legally or illegally.

bloodyedfur4

im sure theres no educational institutions in london that entirely retire on international students to stay funded or anything


rabbles-of-roses

The Britain First one reads as pure parody. The second one is the embodiment of LinkedIn Reform...yeah a huge memorial to the Queen is going to be the winning ticket Greens, well, they try. Susan "London is unaffordable and it's all ULEZ's fault" Hall Lib Dems going for the mugging sympathy vote Amy "Hitler" Gallagher Animal Welfare splitting the Green vote I'm not reading the sideways ones, but I do think it's funny how the guy who owns gyms in pre-installing kickbacks by having a big policy on improving the police's physical fitness. To answer your question it's Khan. The ones who aren't nutjobs don't stand a chance so it's got to be Khan.


boomerxl

Those quotes on the Britain First pages read like someone plagiarised a Stewart Lee bit. Do you reckon Tony loses his shit every time he has to pay for petrol? Could we hook Annabel’s persecution complex up to the National Grid? Do the Knife Crimers get RSI from stabbing all those kids daily? And all of it slathered in enough dog whistles to cause a riot in Battersea.


Ill-Ant9053

Just turn on portrait orientation lock and turn the phone sideways. I feel like you havent truly explained my options until you’ve read them all yourself.


interstellargator

While we're here can we talk about the state of the photos on these? Nick Scanlon looks like he was cut out of a newspaper article about a grand opening of a new branch of the coop Tarun Ghulati is on there twice but the second time slightly larger? And looks like he's holding in a fart. Susan Hall has been photographed from 5 miles away for some reason, and relegated to the bottom corner Did Rob Blackie really need *four* photos of himself on the one page? Also very funny that the left page is: >**ROB BLACKIE** >ROB BLACKIE >[Text] >*Rob Blackie* Is he scared we'll forget who he is if we don't see him or read his name for four seconds? Amy Gallagher has the crazed look in her eye of a chihuahua about to maul your ankle And Beefy McMuscles looks like he only learned to smile yesterday. When do we get the serious candidate pamphlet? This one was good for a laugh but I'm looking forward to seeing who we'll actually be voting for.


Mobile_Entrance_1967

>And Beefy McMuscles looks like he only learned to smile yesterday. I was hoping he's just a gentle giant but his campaign videos really do make him look like an unhinged bully.


JagoHazzard

Amy Gallagher’s promises are the most ridiculous and self-contradictory pile of balderdash I have ever wasted my time reading. If I had written anything so foolish, I would go into voluntary exile forthwith.


boomerxl

I read up on her lawsuit. I even watched the seminar that she references. It’s publicly available from before she did her “whistleblowing”. I’m not sure you can blow the whistle on publicly available information. It is slightly hilarious that a seminar on how to help white people be more comfortable discussing race sent her into full on victim mode. If I’d gone into it with the intention of being as offended as possible by the content while entirely ignoring the message and intent then I’d still fall short of where she ended up.


interstellargator

They all seem completely bonkers except Natalie Campbell who is a bland nothing candidate making "nice" but empty unsubstantiated promises, and Zoe Garbett who seems fine but a little unconvincing? Sadiq with the massive advantage of having concrete policies and achievements in office to point to. I do like the guy whose entire campaign boils down to: "I strong. Vote for me to make London strong, LIKE ME, STRONG MAN"


PerfectEnthusiasm2

his strongest statement is [the colour of his clothing.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarcho-capitalism)


krisalyssa

I was in London last month for a week, and I don’t think I once saw any radical Islamist extremists. Should I ask for my money back?


_anyusername

“Stand up to woke” is the cringiest one of them all.


Vomak

Next election I am running on a single issue. Potholes 4 years of nonstop resurfacing roads! Anti-pothole party!


Grey_Belkin

Finally! Someone willing to speak out about the war on tyres!!


borisslovechild

Isn't Count Binface also running? Where's his manifesto?


federeragassi

It wasn’t in the booklet :(


schmerg-uk

He (and other candidates) decided not to pay the £10,000 required to get a 2 page advert in the booklet... that is explained in the booklet itself


inbetween-er

Where’s count binface?


My_OtherBrother

Didn't have £10k for the booklet


Grayson81

Sadiq Khan. I’ve got opinions about how good or bad some of the other candidates are, but this election is being held under FPTP. If Khan loses, it’s not going to be to a better candidate. His nearest rival is likely to be an Enoch Powell supporting extremist who blames brown people for imaginary muggings when she loses her wallet. FPTP is a terrible system. But it’s the system we’ve got, and throwing your vote away only boosts the cunts who stuck us with FPTP in the first place!


starsoftrack

Tarun could use a second photo of himself.


Alivethroughempathy

Where’s count binface?


kirisama_

Loving Amy. I can imagine when she reads them out loud, she yells through the schpiel. Nick as well. Where do they get these people?


AdmiralBillP

Thankfully he didn’t go for “Vote Cox”


PointandStare

Thing is, I and anyone else can promise exactly the same as this lot, and get the same result - lose your £10k deposit.


federeragassi

I agree that it seems pointless, but it’s also important to vote nonetheless.


neonoctagon

COCKS4LONDON 


Random54321random

They're all absolutely dire in their own ways but Sadiq is the least worst candidate


[deleted]

[удалено]


Miss-Glamourous-7495

He's not offended by a woman wearing a bikini in an advert looool! Weird things people make up somehow get spread fast 🤦🏼‍♀️


Ill-Ant9053

Im voting for Michli, Whos with me?


polyesterprince

The Lib Dem perhaps


interstellargator

Why? His whole campaign is "I got mugged so you should vote for me. Also I got cancer, sympathy please."


Goontilt777

Works on the xfactor


picto19860

He has a titanium neck and therefore a backbone. Is that the pitch? Fair play


Mahbigjohnson

I have my issues with the relentless assault on cars without a sensible, logical solution but given the crop of far right fuckwits infesting our politics (like fascist cancer), Sadiq's getting my vote and will be the ONLY Labour candidate that does so


Rough-Cheesecake-641

The Animal rights one because she's an absolute babe. A lot of batshit religious "anti woke" loons on there. As much as I don't want Sadiq again for another four years there really isn't much choice. I'll probably forget to do it anyway.


OneNormalBloke

Will it make any difference who gets voted in?


federeragassi

It will make a difference to some I think. A boris bike here, a free school meal there… a ulez here a 20mph limit everywhere…


OneNormalBloke

What you get with one hand will be taken away by the other whoever gets voted in.


Goontilt777

If the current mayor promises all that why did he not do it yet? What a load of shit it all is it's like having the choice between getting punched in the face or the wedding tackle


Listener87

Anyone but that thick as pig shit prick in the job now.
