  Khan introduced as the "Embodiment of Diversity" - pass the sick bag.

  How can one person be diverse?

  Is it that he supports those who hate Britain as well as those who like Britain?

  Is Sadiq Khan using "son of an immigrant" as his main selling point, good or bad for changing attitudes on immigration.

  It would be good if he didn't want to discriminate against people of non-immigrant stock.

  (And before Labourites get all uppety, remember Watson's had to resign from Labour's front bench twice before. and his dirty fingers were heavily involved in the Falkirk mess, which helped Labour to a wipeout in Scotland. And you've made him deputy !!!)
