What about St Pauls?? The houses of Parliament??? and why a mosque? it will of course be coming from tax payers money.

Tax payers money can be better spent even though muslims are paying plenty of tax I'm sure that even they would prefer that the money be spent more wisely, and at a time when we are virtually at war with the middle east this sort of thing just drives a wedge between the different communities.
Building a huge church would be just as ridiculous!

Smokey vehicles hits a sore nerve with me because diesel fumes give me asthma, nothing else does so I guess I have an allergic reaction. Being a biker makes sitting behind these vehics impossible but what Mad Ken is proposing is just using "dynamite to crack an egg". Overkill of the most disrespectful kind, I'm the mayor of London and I'll do as I please.....although you always have to ask yourself, who is pulling Kens strings and who benefits most from the changes?? Believe me folks, to those in power, your health is not a priority!

The Mega Mosque turned out to be a rumour started by a few key players in the BNP.

There's a tiny kernel of truth in it- there's plans to build a fairly big mosque. How dare they! Still, it does help to show once again how bad these petitions are, people will sign up to anything.

The people I spoke to thought that if it 'was' built the money could have been better allocated....ok it looks like a hoax....but it does show public opinion to a certain extent. I noticed there was a petition for the BMF against the spillage of diesel but the numbers signing it were quite poor! Does this mean we feel more strongly about wasted tax payers money than we do about wasted diesel killing bikers? Nothings changed then!!

It means it's easier to motivate people with a lie than it is to motivate people with a simple truth and a good cause... And also, probably, that it's easier to get people to be suspicious of anything involving muslims than it is to get people to actually help each other.
