SHARIA LAW IN LONDON? Mayor Khan Wants to Ban “Body Shaming” Ads

Let’s just call this what it is. Sharia Law disguised as pathetic Social Justice Warrior behavior in London. First no bikini ads, then eventually if Mayor Khan gets his way he’ll want ads to only feature women in full burkas. Hopefully Brexit passing will help put an end to this ridiculous forced Islamization.

The New York Post Reports 

London Mayor Sadiq Khan announced a ban on body-shaming ads on public transit, a moved praised by gender equality groups — but blasted by some who said it’s the start of the “Islamification” of the city by its first Muslim mayor.

Transport For London, which runs the British capital’s subways, buses, trams and taxicabs, will work up new policies designed to remove what Khan sees as dangerous images used in everyday ads.

“As the father of two teenage girls, I am extremely concerned about this kind of advertising which can demean people, particularly women, and make them ashamed of their bodies,” Khan said Monday. “It is high time it came to an end.”

Katie Glass Writes

I HEARD the news Sadiq Khan was doing something about London transport and thought, “Finally! He’s going to reduce my chances of being killed in a rush-hour stampede”.

Maybe he’ll knock an hour off my commute, after reports that in London it’s now quicker to get to work by donkey than bus. Or address the spike there’s been in sexual assaults on the Tube?

But, no. Silly me. Nothing so useful.

Instead Khan’s first major act as Mayor is some censorship, having pledged, like a puritanical Boy Scout, to ban body-shaming adverts on public transport.

You’ll recall this is a row sparked by last year’s Protein World ad, in which a girl in a bikini, right, asked: “Are You Beach Body Ready?” and 378 complained. And apparently Khan writes ­legislation based on 400 people being mildly annoyed.

That, and his rules for his kids.

Trying to justify this ridiculous act of oppression, Khan said: “As the father of two teenage girls, I am extremely concerned about this kind of advertising.”

As if that makes it OK that I, a grown woman, now have to live as if Khan was my dad.

Does this mean as Mayor, Khan will also want me home by 10pm?

Will he ban me from smoking in bed? Or leaving the house if my skirt is too short?

After all that’s what this ban amounts to: A middle-aged dad telling women to cover up, because he knows what’s best.

Paternalism doesn’t cover this puritanical crusade to dictate what we can see — a censorship especially patronising to women.

Khan thinks such ads “demean people, particularly women”.

In saying so, he perpetuates the sexist idea that women are the weaker sex, most easily damaged by advertising. That we girls need protecting — the same patronising sentiment behind Jeremy Corbyn’s idiotic idea for women-only train carriages.
