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.

I’m going to go against the general consensus here and just say some of the ads in the Tube in London are unbelievably risque. Women practically if not totally naked, I kid you not. I haven’t been back there since the 1970s. I can’t imagine what it’s like now.

I don’t think the new Muslim mayor should become a dictator, but in this instance he brings up a good point. There is no reason to have that type of ads on the walls of the Tube. It’s not like you can change the channel or turn the page or not buy the book. These ads are HUGE.

Note to Londoners: YOU voted for this excrescence, knowing full well who and what he actually was. My sympathies border on the non-existent.

This is how they work. They embed themselves in the in the community, grow in strength and take over politically. Then they drive all the former residents out and take over.

Kurt Vonneguts’ Harrison Bergeron is scarily like the world we are entering. You can watch it for free on YouTube. Everyone should read or watch it and show your kids too so they can understand what the schools and media are trying to brainwash them with.

In light of the whirling information coming out of Orlando, shouldn’t London’s Mayor be more concerned with scantily clad boys and men in Tube advertising?

It may be offensive. I don’t know. You may be right. Can you post some of the pictures that are on the tube. Strictly for serious evidentiary purposes?:-)

Until then, I will just assume that this is just incrementalism and testing the waters.
