'Staring' at women is now illegal on the London Metro

Takes avoiding eye contact on the London tube to a whole new level. Thanks Sadique Khan, although your ever growing voter base will no doubt be happy.https://uk.news.yahoo.com/sexual-harassment-campaign-night-tube-staring-sexually-151556727.html

Indeed. While everyone would agree that a dodgy looking man staring fixedly at a woman while 'licking his lips' is completely wrong, the problem is it's one of these things that can't be policed. Who decides the line between 'glancing', 'looking', and 'staring'. Oh I know, it's one of those London Met Police officers who exchange pics of murdered women and crack jokes about raping each other's girlfriends and wives. Bikraboy no doubt has faith that they can fairly and accurately tell the difference.

Nothing about this says that it can only happen to women. Harassment in all forms is illegal and has been for quite a long time. These posters just put people on notice about specific behaviors that won't be tolerated. Why on earth would anyone want to defend or preserve this type of behavior?

Yep fine with me. I'll deal with him accordingly. But if he did that to a woman I'd call him out.

So you'd do exactly what the "liberal railway operator" recommended you do?

This makes no sense. A male checking out a female is normal behavior. A male drooling over a male is not. Basically your argument is "if you're okay with normal behavior, you should also be okay with abnormal behavior." Completely illogical.

I would likely glance at anyone who sat down near me then go back to reading my book.

But I'm just stating how liberal society now caters as a disneyland/candyland to the "weak" at the expense of the "strong," with a litany of double standards present at every avenue.

You routinely complain about wearing a mask. You're soft, so you are not about to call anybody out on a train. But, if you do please tell me how that experiment ends.

'Sidique Khan' was one of one of the bombers on 7/7. Whether or not the frequently mis-spelling with -que is a freudian slip like Obama/Osama is debateable.
Well, when he was a lawyer, Sadeek did defend one othe 9/11 bombers. He also has a history of trying to impose Sharia Law on London of which this is just the latest example (he once banned bikini adverts as indecent).

No, 9/11 happened in the USA and the trial happened in the USA. Sadiq Khan is a British lawyer and not trained in the American legal system.

Liberals have now made it a crime to look at someone. What if people feel violated when others look at their face? Will they be accommodated too? Heck I'm even sick of being looked at by people who's lives are too boring that they have to use others for entertainment 24/7. Make a god damn move. Sheesh.

Steve, what this really is about is they want you looking down at the propaganda they send to your iPhone on an hourly basis. The photograph gives it away

re: The world has gone wrong brained

Will be interesting to see what ends up being "staring sexually". BTW, everything else on that list it legit (upskirting for instance) for being prohibited if not a criminal act.

His ban was on ads that promoted unrealistic images of women's bodies; bikini clad women would fall under that but it was more broad. I wonder if an Olympic ad with Jessica Ennis would be banned since she had a pretty unreal body. Also, Khan's law firm consulted on the defense of Moussaoui, but never met with or defended him.

His law firm did consult on the case though. But since he is not a member of the bar in the US could not defend him.

Sadiq Khan’s former law firm did consult on the defence of someone convicted in relation to 9/11 - Full Fact

Back when he was a human rights lawyer, Sadiq Khan’s then-law firm consulted on the defence man who was later convicted of conspiring with the 9/11 attackers.

Laws should be designed to protect the weak and vulnerable because the strong don't need protecting as much. That's why we have special laws where children are concerned.

I made a custom shirt that said the above message and a couple lefties were trigged AF, lashing out at me in their unusual unintelligible , irrational and emotional outbursts.

It's a terrible disease raving the US and UK. Look no further than the DA in Los Angeles charging a 26 year old trans as a minor and then getting "him" jailed in a female juvenile detention center. At 26! This more than confirms liberalism is a disease.

That's a misrepresentation too. The law firm he worked for was contacted by Zacarias Moussaoui seeking legal advice. There's no record of Mr Khan speaking to Mr Moussaoui and no record of his law firm defending him. Consult just means had a discussion. That could be a 5 minute phone call ending with a 'no'. Mr Moussaoui probably "consulted" with hundreds of law firms before finding one.

Pretty soon they won't let you watch porn on your phone with your hands down my pants either. Where will this madness end? What a man does in the privacy of his own pants is his business.
