Well I enjoyed it - anyone that didn't is just a miserable idiot.
Are you asking in relation to the fireworks part of this thread, or the naked attraction part of the thread??!

Funny enough, I put this on a few weeks back to show my kids..
I remember it being amazing first time round, and it was just as good 2nd time around. The sprogs loved it.
I don't think i've seen a better opening ceremony in any sport.
BLOODY ANGLO-SAXONS!
Coming over here
From Northern Continental Europe, the Anglo-Saxons
With their inlaid jewellery
And their ship burial traditions, and their miserable epic poetry
If you come over here Anglo-Saxons learn to speak the f***ing language
Bloody Anglo-Saxons
Coming over here
And laying down the basis of our entire future language and culture

I thought it was great.

I quite enjoyed the London firework display last night
The mayoral advert seemed daft IMO.

Like most Londoners I didn't see them, but definitely heard them.

Complete non story. The fireworks are "presented" from the current Mayor alongside a sponsor. This from Boris Johnson time.
I'm of course NOT accusing you of this.
The anti Khan thing is fuelled by racism on social media, mostly from non Londoners who can't live with the idea of a Muslim having a powerful job.
The right leaning tabloids can't use that line so come up with bollocks like this.
The reality of course is that the Conservatives can't be bothered with the London Mayoral Elections, putting up ridiculous candidates time after time.
They do this for two reasons.
1) The PM doesn't want a good Tory Mayor in place that could later threaten their leadership. Cameron made that mistake.
2) Having a Labour Mayor gives them a great opportunity to divert attention.
I imagine their strategy will change when they lose the next election.

It's the beaker people you've got to worry about. Coming over here.
With their beakers.
Bringing new fandangled cooking implements.
Coming over here.
Taking our jobs.
Tempting our women with new tasty potage.
Served in beakers.
This country has gone to pot.

What have the Roman candles ever done for us?
Blimey, I'd have thought New Years' Eve was the actual epitome of the word 'anniversary' and an ideal time to look back!
And for some Khan can't do anything right. I'd prefer to see it as ringing endorsement of positive British achievements and a reminder that for all our problems and faults we're a great and innovative nation with a lot to be proud of.

He's a f**king moron. Not a dig at Labour, but Sadiq Khan is a self publicising pillock.

That is the second time you have implied that any criticism of Khan is purely down to race.
Is he not allowed to be criticised?
