What is all that stuff about Kahn having links to Bin-Laden or something?

95% bullshit, probably.

Either "dirty muzzy hivemind", or Khan might have had legitimate dealings with the bin Laden family, which is large, diverse, and itself wholly unconnected to the militant ideals of one of its member. It's one of the largest construction firms in Saudi Arabia, IIRC, and has done work in the UK I think.

Yes, thats exactly the sort of thing that Goldsmith, or certain ex-members of this forum *cough cough Moctina would use to condemn him. And i know, apart from Osama Bin Laden, the Bin Laden family are very large, very rich, very respectable and very succesful.

He's a Muslim and Zac Goldsmith is desperate.

Don't worry remembered what your talking about.

As I told you by telegram some days ago when you inquired, Kahn has connections to multiple hate preachers, including the 'online Bin-Laden' who was taken out by the United States in an airstrike due to his radical preachings.
The man may not be a terrorist, but certainly is not a nice character, and has some shady connections. I like Zac Goldsmith. I respect & hold his political views, admire his family, and met him personally a few years ago, and I think he will be an exemplary Mayor.

It was quite common, I'm sure a quick google would cast a dragnet over most of the instances.

No points for originality, it was a smear based on Jihadi John, who is fortunately no longer with us.

Can anybody explain why the Government of Northern Ireland is running ads on my CNBC asking me to invest in them? Of course I'd like them to stop and go away but it makes me wonder. Is there a budget or economic crisis in Norn Iron that I haven't heard about?

I shan't be on the game very much, so I decided to make a purely forum-related account. Leaving all of that regional nonsense.

I'm probably getting confused with the republic, but i thought they pretty much didn't have a government because they couldn't scrape together a coalition.

It's almost a certainty that they aren't advertising "on CNBC". They will have provided ads to an advertising company, that in an astounding display of lack of self-awareness, has then published those ads on CNBC.

Either that, or it's the equivalent of those "we haven't heard from you in a while..." emails intended for the American businessmen who used to fund the IRA.

Yeah, that's the Republic. Northern Ireland is the one with the power-sharing shitfest.

They're hardly poor by world standards but decades of ethno-religious conflict isn't the best thing for their economy or foreign investment.

Everyone has links to everyone if you try hard enough, that much is true.
But he has shared a stage with some very dubious characters.

It would be pretty funny for Corbyn to do an attack ad pointing out that David Cameron has shared a stage with known Muslamic Radical Jeremy Corbyn.
