What do British Pakistanis think of Sadiq Khan/Sajid Javed

I know the largest Pakistani diaspora in the West are the British Pakistanis and they are the oldest diaspora out there,question for you guys living in the UK what do you think of Sadiq Khan, and Sajid Javed,are they representing your communities well or just placate a certain base, and do British Pakistanis tend to vote Labour or Tory as well.




I really admire them. It goes to show that if us Pakistanis work really hard, become educated, then we can become some of the most politically powerful people in the UK like Sajid Javid and Sadiq Khan are. Sajid Javid rise has been amazing. He is virtually only 2nd to the UK prime minister. Apart from the Jews, NO OTHER ethnic minority member in the UK has EVER held such a high ranking political position........8-)

There's some jealousy between British Pakistanis and Pakistanis.

British Pakistanis have been established here since the first wave of immigration after WW2. It seems a very small number of Pakistanis feel resentful and show hidden hatred for UK Pakistanis.

Why? Because they take the point of view 'If I can't be happy... no one can' - animal spite. That leads to retarded comments like the one by @Indus Pakistan, that suggest pleasure at anything that could lead to their downfall, like extreme terrorism.

These two are a different breed to your type.




Lol.........brother Indus was being sarcastic............:lol:

It was probably a joke, but with nearly 2M unique visits a month from around the globe, its not great for public relations.

Here's a nice video to show how most people think about Pakistanis/Muslims:

Alot of Brit Paks are assholes. It depends where you go, like alum rock Birmingham is full of these and is a backward ghetto. No offense but these are products of parents whos kids constantly marry from Pakistan villages. This continually sets them back by 20 years everytime this happens.

Fun fact, most of these people are not actually from Mirpur. Very few i have met from there. Most are from across the dam Dadyal sides.

Majority from Luton upwards to the north are strange.

Is that the same thing? And if it is the why even bother with 'Pakistan'. When you use this frame of referance your just feeding the Islamaphobes.

Yes, in the UK they use the idea of Muslim and Pakistani interchangeably. You must have heard the phrase "I'm not a ****, i'm a Porky"

back to the original question.

Sajid Javed : Knows what he is doing, and is very efficient and effective. Sets a good image for Pakistans.
Sadiq Khan : A bit of leftie loonie if you ask me, but still sets a positive tone for Pakistan origin people in the UK.

Baroness Syeeda Warsi did quite well for a while. In short, there have been a positivie influence.

My point was simple. Muslim does not exclusively equal Pakistani. When you say Muslim you mean -

Turks
Cypriots
Kurds
Iranian
Afghans
Somali
Iraqi
Pakistani
Algerian
Bangla
Nigerians

etc

Whereas Pakistani is just a nationality which even includes Christians, Sikhs etc. I hope you get the point.
Indians

Mirpuris are some of the most patriotic, hospitable and friendly Pakistanis out there. Yes the area was one of the least developed and under educated, but they certainly are a lot more loyal and patriotic than most Sheri (city) folk.

It's worth noting that the most successful British-Pakistani's politicians rose from non Pakistani majority constituencies. Sajid Javid won from Bromsgrive which is 98% native English and hardly a "Muslim" in sight. Sadiq Khan won from London where Pakistani's form a tiny minority at about 5% [I stand to be corrected on this one]. That should give clues to the OP.

Wiki says 2.7%

That's because of the Mirpuris. No offence to any Mirpuris here, but they have a very negative stereotype surrounding them, even among BPs. Heck, my family doesn't even like them, and we have some Mirpuri family members lol.



Lmao you guys suck up to the establishment so much yet you still don't even get a bone thrown at you. Remember how Captain Khan and his parents got humiliated by Trump? Good luck finding something like that happening to BPs. Even the few suck-ups among us actually manage to do it well, you could learn from us.
Sirjee! Here in the US I have met miripruis too and they aren't nearly as bad as pakistanis from the uk.

It's beyond my comprehension most of them haven't accomplished much but "kiss cheez ki aakar hai aun meih"

Because you don't know British Mirpuris. They're so underperforming that many have started putting them in a different category so that they don't drag down the other BPs with them when researchers look at academic performance.

Who? BPs or APs? BPs have done plenty, the mayor of London is a BP, one of those dudes from Dragons Den is a BP, Sajid Javed has a pretty high position in the UK government, some of the UK's most cherished dishes come from BPs, etc.

APs have, in comparison, done just about nothing.

Actually I do know some of them but maybe not as well as you but it's very difficult for me to distinguish between them and other bp sometimes based on their attitude. The way I see it "miripuri" is just another excuse for other bp's to hide their own backwardness.

LOL! You say AP's have done nothing compared to bp. Then why is that the majority of AP are more patriotic and less frustrated compared to bp's when visiting Pakistan?

Yes, because if this wasn't the case you'd be able to name some successful APs. I'll tell you what, name me one, just one AP who is in the US government. The only successful AP that I can even think of off the top of my head is that rich dude with the pony tail.

Then why is that the majority of AP are more patriotic

Hahaha, is that a joke? They are far more Americanified than we are Anglofied.
