There’s going to be a blimp of Sadiq Khan in a bikini over London – the only 16 reactions you need to read
Having complained that the blimp of Donald Trump that flew during the President’s official UK visit somehow impinged on people’s free speech – yeah, we don’t know how, either – self-styled free-speech advocate, Yanny Bruere has crowd-funded a giant blimp of London Mayor Sadiq Khan to be flown above the city this weekend.
The inflatable will be “dressed” in a yellow bikini, in a nod to an advertising campaign asking if women were beach-body ready, which was banned from the London Underground. This is how it looks.
And this is the invitation to the event, shared via Facebook.
The blimp will have had to receive authorisation from Sadiq Khan.
By approving the blimp of himself, hasnt Sadiq Khan instantly won the argument?

These 16 reactions are just about perfect.

That Sadiq Khan balloon is like calling someone a dickhead and them replying, "yeah, well… YOU'RE a dickhead."

I LOVE that to fly the blimp of Sadiq Khan in a bikini, they needed the permission of Sadiq Khan in his suit. Cancel your tantrums lads, dad said yes.

Sadiq Khan on the balloon blimp of him which has been crowdfunded by far-right activists:
"If people want to spend their Saturday looking at me in a yellow bikini they’re welcome to do so – I don’t really think yellow’s my colour though."

The rabid right: "There's nothing funny about a 20-foot blimp of Trump having a tantrum over London" [There was]
Takes six weeks to copy the joke and make a Sadiq Khan blimp.

Id forgotten what a blimp even is. Think in this case revenge would have been a dish best served hot. https://t.co/LeHH2tshge
