Beach Body Ready

In a sideswipe at London mayor Sadiq Khan's banning of a `Beach body ready` poster in 2016, a giant inflatable balloon depicting Khan in a bikini is to be flown over Westminster. The balloon is part of an anti-Khan protest and echoes the one of Donald Trump launched a few weeks ago.

Permission has been given for the `flight`, a bit difficult to object to considering that the Trump balloon was given permission. We can't have double standards can we?

It's all very childish IMO.

I think it's a bit of a laugh especially the design and manufacture of these blimps.

This, like the Trump blimp were crowd-funded, the residue of which for this one is going towards the get rid of Khan campaign apparently.

Re: Beach Body Ready

Talk about not with a bang but a whimper. The knuckle-draggers had such hopes for this and almost no one is bothered. The hoped for angry response from Khan was, in fact, a mildly amusing aside. What a waste of money.

How could Khan give an angry response when he agreed to the Trump one?
He's not had much choice but to accept it has he?

And who are the knuckle draggers?

Not being insane, unlike the lunatic-in-chief, Khan was never going to get upset about the balloon.
Who are the knuckledraggers? All those who thought he would.

In your opinion......

Anyway, for want of missing the bleedin' obvious.
There is NO WAY Khan would show he's upset about this even if he was. To do so, would make him look like a complete pillock for allowing the Trump blimp.
