The_DADDY Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Sadiq Khan plunged into race row after his official website publishes picture of white family and says they don't 'represent real Londoners' Sadiq Khan was plunged into a bitter row last night after his official website published a photograph of a young white family with the words: 'Doesn't represent real Londoners'. The Labour London Mayor faced calls to apologise after the extraordinary message appeared in an official guide on how to portray the 'brand' of the Mayor and the Greater London Authority. This was despite the fact that the guide opened with the words: 'A City For All Londoners' and a promise to appeal to 'everyone no matter, their age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, disability or family make up'. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12424583/Sadiq-Khan-plunged-race-row-official-website-publishes-picture-white-family-says-dont-represent-real-Londoners.html Is the mayor's office correct? If so then what does represent 'Real Londoners'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cressida Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 No surprise to me, a London taxi driver informed me a long time that there were only 25% of white residents in London, when the next vote for mayor is due I bet he won't be white.

With all due respect he was talking garbage. It's currently 53% and that's the lowest it's been in recorded history.
