Rudy Giuliani says London mayor Sadiq Khan should be 'ashamed of himself'

Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani says London mayor Sadiq Khan 'should be ashamed of himself' for approving a giant balloon protest about the American president's imminent visit.

Senior Labour politician last week gave his permission for the 20ft balloon depicting Trump as a huge orange baby to fly above Parliament Square on Friday morning, the day after the real Trump's arrival in Britain.

A protest march against the controversial US leader is due to pass through nearby Trafalgar Square at the same time.

But the president's legal representative Giuliani – who was mayor of New York City from 1994 to 2002 – said at the weekend that Khan was failing in his duties as leader of London.

Giuliani said: 'Sadiq Khan should be ashamed of himself. He's so busy attacking President Trump's visit and, in the meantime, crime is spiralling in London. Maybe he should just do his job instead of attacking a world leader.'

And he suggested that many of the two million Americans holidaying in London each year might be put off by Khan's attitude.

Giuliani said: 'Many people who come to London are Americans. More than half of us in the US now support the President and even those who don't support him, support his office.

'I would not like to go to a country where someone with the authority of a mayor was rallying people against them. It's highly inappropriate. He's probably suffering from some of the criticisms that President Trump has made of him, which are valid.'

You're welcome my dear

Coincidences are sometimes weird...

It always makes me smile when I read ghoul, ghoulini,... and also Don the con

Because in Arabic, ghoul means wolf and in French "con" means dumbass...

operating system on these new fangled phones.
You know they do stuff 'on your behalf' that you do not ask for! Running away with one's life, so to speak. They are a boon and also a bane.

This is July and it's a countdown to November election day.

Being an Eastern Orthodox Christian, I lean on my Faith with more dependence than ever b4.
This helps me get thru. It's a vehicle. What do I have to lose?

Peace and goodness be unto you and yours.

have met many locals (Pride Parade, World Cup match at a local pub, Eric Clapton concert) the past five days....they are ALL looking forward to that large buffoon flying in the sky with a "nappie" on! I have also heard the Queen has refused to meet with IQ45, no confirmation, but good on her if she does refuse!

A few ways off the top of my head:

1. STFU Rudy. You aren't relevant.

2. Don't give London the "Chicago Treatment". They actually have responsible gun laws.

3. Um - the people who are open to your threat of boycotting London - don't have passports and don't do liberal socialist communist dern furenner Vacations. They only speak American - they don't speak English.

4. STFU you baw bag.

They can be the victim with the evil liberals attacking them. This kind of speech gets them motivated to go out and vote.

Is that Rudy thinks that he should be the one deciding what free speech is and isn't acceptable.
