I said was.
Past tense.
So the current relavence is?
That I never said they were "evil".
You claimed I inferred that though I was merely making a jest referring to their original coat.
You then avoided apologizing for being ignorant and pretentious which is ungentlemanly behavior, earning my ire and provoking a scolding.

If only you were educated enough to know that was their actual official coat of arms, than you would understand I didnt make anything up or even pass judgment upon them.
Dam if only we all had your level of education eh?

And they were outnumbered by the Londoners who liked him enough to vote him in. That's how democracy works. Will of the people and all that.

immigration and reproduction, and all that. The elites sold out the native population.
Wasn't this the mayor that said something to the effect that people should get used to terrorist attacks?
Khan said: “Our city utterly condemns the hideous individuals who attempt to use terror to harm us and destroy our way of life... As London has proven again and again, we will never be intimidated or defeated by terrorism."

The elites don't outnumber the "natives" so that's fake news.
And no he didn't say that - so that's fake news too.
He reacted like the majority of us did. We don't really do drama here. If there's a terror attack, we get annoyed and indignant because they made us late for work.
We mourn our dead then get on with it the next day. We won't let the terrorists win by making people scared.
Khan said:

The bit which constantly gets taken out of context to fit the narrative of racists upset that a brown man is in a position of power is:
"major cities around the world have got to be prepared for these sorts of things to happen when people least expect them.
That means being vigilant, having a police force that is in touch with communities, it means the security services being ready, but it also means exchanging ideas and best practice."
So again, not kicking off and being a drama queen doesn't mean we need to demand to see his birth certificate.
Terrorism Is Part And Parcel Of Living In a Big City... you've gotta be prepared

Khan said: “Our city utterly condemns the hideous individuals who attempt to use terror to harm us and destroy our way of life... As London has proven again and again, we will never be intimidated or defeated by terrorism."
And yet, London has proved again and again that it is intimidated by terrorism, and has been defeated by terrorism.
Consider the barriers you go through, the cameras observing you, the armed guard patrolling you, and remind yourself of how victorious we are as a country, resisting all intimidation by terrorists.
Oh, and you assume because the Mayor of London uses the word 'terrorism', it means exactly the same thing when he says it as it does when you say it or think it?

Now I know this is not true of all, or indeed most, Trump supporters but when you have groups called the "White Pendragons" doing stuff like this in the name of your politics it is incumbent upon you all to call them out as the racist, xenophobic scum they are.
People are responsible for what they do and say, people aren't incumbent to call out or apologies for the action of others just because they share political views.

I take it you are one of the butt hurt Brits over Brexit eh? The Sharia Law supporting Trojan Horse known as Sadiq Khan has made Londonistan what it is today. BTW...those are Brits mate...not US citizens. How's it feel knowing your own countrymen don't support the Trojan Horse Khan and instead identify with DJT?
