In a pretty perfect example of witless hypocrisy in utter lack of self-awareness, London’s Muslim mayor Saddiq Khan literally scolded Trump about free speech after squelching it dozens of times himself!!!

What he’s talking about is that Trump said he didn’t feel welcome to London because Khan literally okayed a big fat baby Trump balloon to be floated above the city during his visit.

Hehe. That’s kinda funny! ANYWAY, I digress…
Khan literally banned these ads because they hurt some fat women’s fat fat feelings:
"Are you beach body ready?" ad asks. Then London has the best response. pic.twitter.com/lJFXkG0iLY

From the Guardian:
The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has moved to ban from the city’s transport network adverts that promote unrealistic expectations about body image and health.
Khan, elected in May, has told Transport for London to stop running body-shaming ads amid concerns that the advertising “can demean people, particularly women”.
He had pledged to tackle advertising on the tube network during his campaign after ads such as the “Beach body ready” campaign last April led to protests. An online petition calling for their removal attracted more than 70,000 signatures.
And this is just one example – Britons just simply do not enjoy expansive First Amendment free speech rights the way Americans do. But he has the ball to scold Trump on free speech? LOL!!
Yet England flags get taken down because people are offended.

I mean isn’t that the exact definition of hypocrisy? Yes it is, Sooper.
