30 April (Part 2) - No more Khanage please
I like to collect election leaflets and have two large boxes of the things
under a bed but I will not be looking for a third box any time soon, not if this
year’s Mayoral election is any guide. I received
the local Labour leaflet
in which supposedly intelligent Councillors attempt to convince me that Sadiq
Khan has my best interests at heart, but no more. Say goodbye to my vote in 2026
chaps if you really believe that. One of my Labour Councillors lives near to me and the disappearance of the
old non-compliant motor parked outside in the Summer of last year
did not go unnoticed.
But
at least Labour made an effort, no other party attempted to secure my vote. No leaflets at all;
some people may be completely unaware of the opportunity to change London for the better.
For two more leaflets I had to prevail upon friends living in other boroughs.
The Conservative
and Reform UK leaflets were
rescued from their recycling bins.
Only Susan Hall (Conservative) has any chance of beating Khan and a vote for Howard Cox is a
wasted vote, added to which, in my opinion, he talks rubbish in radio interviews.
I still don’t know anyone other than Labour activists who will vote for a proven
failure and after talking to competitors in a pub quiz in a Labour area of
London earlier this evening there is reason to think there will be a large
anti-Khan turnout on Thursday. But maybe it is
significant that all 60 of them are white and as we know, Khan has made it very
clear that he does not believe white people represent London.
Is it too much to hope that there will be a repeat of June 2016 when
everyone assumed we would stay in the EU?
