I think London needs someone with Christian values to be major of London, it was the Christians who made London great in the first place .
So that's not Sadiq Khan, then.
There have only been three London mayors since the city was founded in 43AD and the best of them so far has been Boris Johnson. He managed to serve two terms in what is a Labour city.
I fancy David Kurten to be mayor, but I'm not eligible to vote in it.
He's a Left-wing politician with a difference: his policies are even loopier than most Lefty policies:
My Exclusive 2019 Manifesto is here!
Earthlings, behold below my bold and bracing set of policies for the election campaign. It is officially the most detailed Count Binface manifesto yet, and it is a fully-costed programme that marries fiscal responsibility and public investment with an interest in lasers.
London Bridge to be renamed ‘Phoebe Waller’.
Ceefax to be brought back immediately.
Investment in 20,001 more police officers.
Nationalisation of the model railways (and Adele).
Ross Kemp to be the next poet laureate.
Massive expansion in recycling in all sectors except Hollywood movie plots.
£1 trillion a week for the NHS.
Sir David Attenborough to be on the fourth plinth at Trafalgar Square (or a statue of him, I don’t mind which).
Any Czechs on the Irish border are to be allowed to stay there.
Philip Green’s estates to be used as land for social housing.
Piers Morgan to be zero emissions by 2030.
Legalisation of the hunting of fox-hunters.
Regeneration of the “Intu” Shopping Centre, Uxbridge.
Speakerphones to be banned on public transport.
Donald Trump’s life to be the source material for a new pantomime at the London Palladium, starring Julian Clary as Trump and Gary Wilmot as Barack Obama.
Shops that play Christmas music before December are to be closed down and turned into public libraries.
Abolition of the Lords (all of them this time).
Universal Credit to be repealed and, more importantly, renamed. (Nowhere else in the universe would enact a policy devised by Iain Duncan Smith)
BBC commentator on all state occasions to be Craig Charles.
Katie Hopkins to be banished to the Phantom Zone.
The hand dryer in the gents’ toilet at the Crown & Treaty, Uxbridge to be moved to a more sensible position.
The BBC to bring back Grandstand, no matter what sports it can afford the rights to.
Jacob Rees-Mogg to be prorogued.
New voting age limit of 16 to be introduced. New voting age limit of 80 to be introduced too.
Nuclear weapons: a firm public commitment to build the £100bn renewal of the Trident weapons system, followed by an equally firm private commitment not to build it. They’re secret submarines, no one will ever know. It’s a win win.
University tuition fees to be charged to any politician who has ever voted for university tuition fees, plus interest.
Stop selling arms to repressive regime. Start buying lasers from Count Binface.
Novelty candidates in British elections must not be controlled or exploited in any way by film producers in the United States.
On Brexit: there must be another referendum, about whether there should be another referendum.
Oh and I’ll throw in free broadband

Hopefully, Khan won't be reelected as he's an idiot & a total loser! Why he got elected in the first place is beyond me!
London is a leftwing Labour city (although Boris was elected mayor twice).
I've noticed how the Old Bill haven't had words with Khan about campaigning for the election.
Stupidity at it's best!View attachment 7335
