Baron99 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 London Mayor, Sadiq Khan, the man who's banned adverts on the London Underground because their content contained the likes of cake or models in bikinis, has allowed this advert to be on be run with no objections from him. https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/10/11/transport-for-london-london-underground-ad-criticism-ismail-ibn-musa-menk/ No problem then featuring a hate preacher with anti-gay views then?

So which part of that article states that the Mayor has allowed that advert, with no objections from him?? “I’m not aware of that advert, I’ll have a look at it as soon as Mayor’s Question Time is finished to see what’s gone on there,” Khan replied, according to MyLondon................ In response to the criticism, a spokesperson for Khan told MyLondon that the mayor was “clear that there is no place for hate in London” and “strongly condemns any language which divides London’s amazing diverse communities”. They went on to point out: “The mayor has no involvement in approving or deciding which ads run on the TfL network, and TfL’s policy reflects legal requirements.” A TfL spokesperson said the ad was reviewed and found to comply with its advertising policy.

Funny that he was involved previously in banning such as this. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/jun/13/sadiq-khan-moves-to-ban-body-shaming-ads-from-london-transport Yet now he / his advisors are trying to distance him / themselves from any involvement as to what is advertised on TfL. Khan has no involvement indeed. He's dropped the ball & been caught out & now trying to cover his tracks, the hypocrite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
