Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London, on Test Match Special

Huh?
He needs to learn to speak English properly. He swallows part of each word and drops his "T"s. Sounds extremely ignorant.
Does he support the England Cricket team though?

Yes. Although he did say that he and his brother once deviated for a short time from their original loyalty to England, as a result of being on the receiving end of racial abuse at the Oval. He's now very much back in the England camp, though.

Loved the way the new Mayor of London was lined up to greet Andy Murray after his Wimbledon triumph only for Murray to walk straight past him because he didn't know who he was.

Did Norman end up marrying his brother in the end ?

Did you listen to the interview? Most of the half hour was spent with him talking about cricket, including his experience as a Club cricketer in South London and the trial that he had for Surrey. He has a wide range of cricketing heroes who influenced his playing style, most notably Ian Botham.

Sadiq Khan was demonised by the Tories in the run up to the last Mayoral election but since he gained office he seems to talk a lot of sense. I heard his lunch comments about how he turned to supporting Pakistan for a while thanks to the vilification of himself and his brother by " England " fans.... very sad and should be a source of great shame. Nice bloke.
Thank god for that, bloody racists!

I didn't have to listen to it , it'll be the stock " ambitious Pakistani politician who has designs on the PM job gives interview designed to appeal to white voters " Schtick , where he does exactly as you say he did , and well meaning , naive white people like you will lap it up , I grew up in tooting , just along the road from him in earlsfield and they ALL regard themselves as Pakistani first and foremost , here's an example of what Sadiq REALLY thinks UNCLE TOM ??
And here is Tooting when PAKISTAN won the 20/20

"I can virtually guarantee" is a handy phrase that particularly appeals to bigots who are announcing their intention to shut their ears to any counter-arguments.

I feel sorry for them having to go through that.

Must have been so tough - all those non-white people stealing your jobs. The personal experience of a bigot proves little other than your own fears and misconceptions.
