May I get political?

Post by Joan » 7 years ago

I an amused how the alt-right/popularist/Trumpist/<dare I say it?>Tories always show their true colours. A group of lefties tried (and succeeded) in humiliating Trump by dressing him as a baby.

The right had to respond. The obvious villain* is Sadiq Khan, because he allowed the balloon to be flown, plus he is Muslim. But the baby thing had been done, so what is left to humiliate and demean a man - a man of colour? Of course, dress him as a woman; that will destroy him.

* they might have thought the Queen or May were also villains, but they are already have vaginas, so what could they do to demean them further? No, it's impossible. 🤪

That doesn't even look like Sadiq Khan. As it is, I don't think he's going to be upset by this... after all, he's shown himself to be a grown up with a sense of humour rather than a petulant, childish, egomaniac a la Trump.

If I were Khan, I'd go and get my photo take with it. Own it and turn the tables.

The bikini thing was something to do with him banning an advert that was clearly photo-shopped.

The alt-right prefer their wimmin objectified.

I think you have missed my point. Of course he shouldn't be offended because, unless you are a misogynist, being compared to a woman is not insulting.

These protesters think they are being very insulting, but all they are doing is showing their deep distain for women. Oh, and spending thousands to do so 😂

Oh, thank you. I missed that

I like Khan even more now than when he was talk-to-the-hand'ing Donald Trump.

I got the point. I was suggesting that he is the sort of person who wouldn't be offended (as being compared to a woman isn't something to get offended ) and that he should own it... as that would really piss the alt-right trolls off.

He did own it, as I recall. He just said that yellow isn't his colour.

Indeed, he made a joke about it and the right got annoyed that the left didn't get angry. In fact what it did do was remind everyone that hed had a body shaming advert removed from the Tube and most people agreed that it was a good thing.

I decided to read the rest of the Standard's article on this...
