Sadiq Khan is in hot water again after apparently abandoning his promise to look into a controversial series of adverts across the Transport for London (TfL) estate.The ads, for Islamic finance firm Wahed, show Islamic preacher Ismail ibn Musa Menk, known as “Mufti Menk”, and Ramzan Kadyrov-linked ex-UFC fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov, on billboards, Underground trains and buses across the capital.Menk had been barred from entering Singapore in 2017 for what the country said were “unacceptable… segregationist and divisive teachings”, before being slapped with a two-year ban from Denmark the next year.A few years earlier, he was banned from touring six UK universities after calling homosexuality “filthy” and comparing gay people to animals – statements he later retracted in full.Meanwhile, Nurmagomedov enjoys close links to Russian warlord Ramzan Kadyrov – a close ally to Vladimir Putin who has gifted the fighter luxury cars, and handed him honorary citizenship of the southern Russian region of Chechnya.Last week’s GB News exposé was followed by Tory London Assembly member Susan Hall taking the matter to Mayor’s Question Time.After Hall berated Khan’s crackdown on junk food ads but apparent lack of action on the Wahed billboards, the Mayor said: “I’ll have a look at it as soon as Mayor’s Question Time is finished, to see what’s gone on there.”Despite the assurances, GB News was told the Mayor has no involvement in approving or deciding which adverts run on the TfL network.MORE OUTRAGE AT THE MAYOR:Matt Goodwin calls out Sadiq Khan as ‘anti-majority radical’ as he blasts Labour’s ‘identity politics’Sadiq Khan’s safety comments ‘do not reassure’ Britons of policingSadiq Khan sparks outrage after branding Britons’ concerns about Ulez ‘far right’A spokeswoman for the Mayor said he “is clear that there is no place for hate in London and he strongly condemns any language which divides London’s amazing diverse communities”.She added that TfL’s policy on ads “reflects legal requirements”.But back in 2016, in the wake of a row over so-called “body-shaming” ads on the Underground, Khan called for them to end – and explicitly stated he wanted to “send a clear message to the advertising industry about this”.On social media, he said he was “pleased to announce TfL will no longer run ads on our tubes, trains and buses which could cause body confidence issues”.Back then, TfL’s former commercial development director Graeme Craig noted that “customers cannot switch off” the tube advertising.But last week, TfL itself told GB News that the ads “had been reviewed” and were found to comply with its advertising policy.Speaking to GB News, Hall has hit back at Khan yet again.She told The People’s Channel: “I am at a loss for words. When I asked the Mayor about this advert, he said he would look into it, and today we discover that he apparently has no power over it.”Why would he suggest he would look into it if he already knew this? It beggars belief!”That’s before you even consider that he has intervened on advertising before, most famously over bikini models on the tube.”Londoners will want answers as to why the Mayor is able to intervene on some advertising and not others.”It makes the entire system look patently ridiculous.”GB News has approached the Mayor of London for comment.
