London’s Muslim Mayor Bans Sexy Women In Advertisements
The Daily Caller ^ | 6/13/2016 | Alex Pfeiffer

Posted on 06/13/2016 6:49:00 PM PDT by Beave Meister

Sadiq Khan, London’s first Muslim mayor, announced Monday that “body shaming” advertisements will no longer be allowed in London’s public transport.

“As the father of two teenage girls, I am extremely concerned about this kind of advertising which can demean people, particularly women, and make them ashamed of their bodies. It is high time it came to an end,” Khan said.

The mayor added, “Nobody should feel pressurised, while they travel on the Tube or bus, into unrealistic expectations surrounding their bodies and I want to send a clear message to the advertising industry about this.”

Khan was not clear in what would determine which ads would be banned, as it doesn’t include all images of people in underwear or swimming clothes. Most underwear and bikini models though can be assumed to have non-average bodies.

No wonder liberals and Muslims love each other! They have so much in common: the minute they get to power, they put their noses where the government’s nose should not be. Who the hell is he to decide what should or shouldn’t be advertised? Just like who the hell gave Bloomberg the power to ban the Big Gulp?

I fear that London is now added to the long list of locales which will require nuclear fire to be rid of Islam.

Hey Brits,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

The ad industry should create ads of their mayor as a FAT, GAY woman chasing other fat women.

“How long before this Muslim mayor demands the women of London wear burqas?”

Only as long as it would take to assign blame on burqa-less rape victims - the recent Abu Dabi incident of note - she was drunk and asking for it.

Thanks for the info. Scottie & I went back and forth for years. He insisted that everything was copacetic in Old Blighty, that Brits can own guns & use them in self defense, and that Muslims are but a pinprick upon English and Western civilization.

But when you appoint yourself social director on the Titanic, you’re going to be overwhelmed by reality.

Wonder what he did to get himself banned?
