City hall have given the green light to a crowdfunded blimp depicting a hairy Sadiq Khan doing a sexy pose in a bikini, meaning it will be flying over Parliament Square on September 1st.

Will you be going to see it?

There’s a similar thread on the go elsewhere. The fact that the object of the whole exercise has personally approved it takes a bit of the point of it away I’d have thought.

Well he did approve of the Trump inflatable, so he sort of has to approve of his own blow-up.

Of course he's approved it, he had to or he would have looked more of an idiot than he really is !

[ichkeria]

Done with humour tho like I say. And why would he not approve it?? He has nothing to lose. Khan is not as easily satirised as Trump as he is plainly less conceited (not difficult admittedly). It simply is not going to be as funny or effective.
The only issue I guess is where do you draw the line. Will we have Spurs fans doing one of Mourinho, maybe Remainers doing a Boris etc etc ...

[Mamyalynne]

You would.

[hereIam]

Of course he's nothing to lose, like I said he had to approve it !! I bet he hates it though ...

[ichkeria]

I bet you he doesn’t :-)

A blimp arising over the City of London on Sept. 1st. Perhaps a more appropriate day would have been Sept. 15th....Battle of Britain Day:)

[emmie]

no, see enough of him on telly as it is, can't stand the man at all.

[jourdain2]

No, why on earth would I take a trip to London? It'll be on T.V.. Sauce for the goose etc., no problem.

[hereIam]

Oh goodie, I forgot I can see it on TV. Will give me a good laugh ...

[Spungle]

It might help distract people from the crime epidemic that's happening on Khan's watch. I would have thought Sadiq had an inflated enough view of himself without having another one to look out on.

//Wait.. this is to 'prove a point' right?//

Probably hoped that all the people who thought the Trump Blimp was the funniest thing since Eddie Izzard's last DVD would say this was childish and a waste of money.
As if, nobody's that thick, are they?
