    He does love an easy target. How are the knife crime and acid attack numbers going?

    This is all what left knows to do, ban some easy target for sensation, and propaganda out of it. Do not be surprized id someday Khan will decide that movies damage your morals and ban their advertisement on the tube. Piiiiihhhh

    Wait a second,so he bans junk food just because a lot of parents are too stupid to encourage kids to eat healthy? Who's fault is this in here? I think there are bigger issues that needs more attention than junk food like wow i dunno giving actual punishments for pedophiles or finding a way how to recognize a pedophile when he/she is out of jail and tries to attack again? Cause from what i see it's a big problem in UK.
