Sadiq Khan

[SC Cobbler]

Do you think that there should be restrictions on how many children people should be allowed, China style? There is no doubt that there are too many people in the world. Should we in the UK show leadership and introduce laws about how many children people can have or would that be considered a step too far?

A question not just for Fenners.

100%. Be interesting what punishments you could feasibly pursue from someone having a second child mind...

Whataboutism won’t work with me! What does Londons ethnic mix have to do with Sadiq Khan? Are you inferring that he is encouraging or actively importing people from minorities into London?

Your overthinking again, the link to the bus drivers son is that’s how he keeps winning.

You do love setting questions doncha? and in the style of the deity that is Richard Littlejohn, I shall reply thus.  Do not even suggest such an outcome, under this current Labour leadership you couldnt make it up, and were all off to hell in a handcart.
And for what its worth, I have previously stated, that after ten years of daily commuting into Central London, from the outskirts, Sadiq Khan is absolutely loathed by the vast majority of people. Especially after implementing the ULEZ charge, and then increasing TFL prices for good measure. I would also imagine that his stock has hit a new low, after a fellow human rights lawyer authorised his ascension to the house of Lords , and gun and knife crime has hit a record high.
How about you tell us what you think?

I would support a cap on child benefit and other benefits related to having children.

Has there been (genuine question as I don't recall seeing anything either way) any evidence that the 2 child cap for Child Benefit has made any difference to the birth rate in any section of society? I doubt that the "irresponsible" ones have a think about their family budget before shagging, many might not even consider the possibility that what they are doing might result in a new life being created. Those who are starting a new family as a result of a new relationship are probably going to do so anyway. Those who have a tradition of larger families are probably going ahead anyway. Who should be saying that the third child (my younger sister) is worth less to society?

I think all it creates is more child poverty and that creates huge further costs, both with societal issues and financial ones, having to deal with it. I am talking about children going hungry, cold, unable to access their education, suffering in life because of that - gangs, violence, theft, mental health issues, homelessness, the spiral continues unless you do something about it. Remove child related benefits creates more problems in the long term than it solves in the short term.

Not forgetting that we could do with a load of youngsters earning some money to pay (hopefully more tax) for us aging folk for our pensions, health care and maintaining we way of life that we would still like even when we aren't contributing ourselves any more.

Questions are indeed important to find answers - I certainly don't have all of them. It's really important to know what other people think, particularly those who are likely to have different opinions and you Tabby, (amongst others) are very important in my education of what other people think.


I am not an expert on what goes on politically in London as it doesn't impact on my life very much, but I do note that Mr Khan has won the popular vote for London Mayor three times, with 57%, 55% and last time 44% of the vote. The last one being obviously a minority, but still 11% higher than the next most voted for candidate.

I hadn't heard that he had become Lord Khan and can't see any reference to it on the Internet.


Knife crime is something that needs some answers, one of which is removing the fear and influence of gangs. Increasing child poverty (see my previous post) is not going to help with that. Increasing legal opportunities for young people should help but in reality it is a complex situation with no easy quick fix. Sorry, I am not one to be able to give a good answer.

I asked one of the Bingers Boys why he had never felt the need to carry a knife and his response was that it was down to the luck of growing up where he has done with who he been with. And this someone who has spent three years living very close to Moss Side in Manchester.

People who are an unfortunate victim of circumstance are one thing. But I'll be honest with you, those who open their legs, and the knuckle draggers who dive into the gap without thought, care or consequence regarding the ensuing offspring are the scum of the earth who should be castrated if it were possible. But you cant abandon and throw the kids on the scrap heap, you just can't.

I nearly posted earlier that the punishment should be to chop off their goolies. Looks like Melly is thinking down the same lines.
