Our favourite 17 responses to the Sadiq Khan bikini blimp
A bunch of people who weren’t entirely impressed by the Donald Trump blimp that Sadiq Khan allowed to be floated over London thought they’d get their own back – by doing something similar to the London mayor.
Here’s a reminder of what the Trump balloon looked like.
And, er, here’s what the balloon of a bikini-clad Khan looked like. They rasied £58,182 to do it but as you might notice, it didn’t prove quite so popular.
There must be upwards of twelve people there. pic.twitter.com/IybvnEXvnR

Here’s what the fundraising page said, just in case you’re wondering what the hell is going on.
‘In light of the Donald Trump ‘Baby Trump’ balloon being allowed to fly over London during his visit to the U, let’s get a baby Khan one and see if free speech applies to all.
Under Sadiq, we have seen crime skyrocket to unprecedented levels. People in London don’t feel safe…Khan out.’
And some people were really, really excited about it. Like this chap.
How many of the same idiot leftists who reacted to any and all criticism of the Trump baby balloon with "ooooh triggered!" are now getting triggered by the Sadiq Khan bikini balloon?

And to be fair, most people thought it was very funny. Except they were laughing at the organisers, not with them.

Why did the Khan one cost £60k? You’ve been ripped off there.

I'm not sure this is an appropriate tribute to the late great Dale Winton. pic.twitter.com/Ck3FqC5LSL

There’s something beautiful about alt-right types being triggered by the Trump balloon, and then triggered *again* by people not being triggered by their Khan balloon. The little Peppa Pigs with Khan’s face to try and outrage Muslims is a wonderfully desperate little flourish too pic.twitter.com/DkKHHXbnXB

“Libs triggered?”
“No”
“Snowflakes?”
“No”
“Sadiq thoug-”
“He actually quite likes it”
“So we’re just four men who paid £50,000 to spend our Saturday with an admittedly quite fuckable balloon.” pic.twitter.com/jRTsDAfDl4— James Felton (@JimMFelton) September 1, 2018
