It's not as if it's being funded by the new Mayor's Office, seems it
will be in other cities too, including here.

Why not, if they pay the same rate as other charities or advertisers?

Is there anywhere you can go to give it a thumbs up (but if the
campaign worked, what would all those people then do with their free
time)? 'Good things' comes to mind and anyone can do that without
being the member of any club. ;-)

"Gather the rewards of ramadan, subhan Allah, Donate now, Islamic relief"

The bus ads will run on 180 buses in London for two weeks. It will then
return for a further two weeks at the end of Ramadan on 180 buses in
London and 460 more in Birmingham, Manchester, Leicester and Bradford.

Interesting read of:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atheist_Bus_Campaign

Quote, "In Southampton, a bus driver refused to drive a bus displaying
the advert. His employers, First Bus, undertook to find him another bus
to drive"

I wonder if TFL will have the same sympathy for drivers of these buses?

How terribly outrageous.

Yes, Bill. You're right. There are lots of things that can be done. I
suggest firebombing the infected buses. That'll really achieve your aims.

Or, perhaps, you could do the exact same as you do to every other bus
advert - and just ignore it.

want to drive this...?

Perhaps EVERY bus driver should just get over what happens to be
advertised on it...

There is a simple set of rules that applies to all adverts, no matter
what for. Whether we, individually, like the product or not. If you think
an ad breaches those rules, complain to the ASA. They are politically
independent, and will rule only on whether the ad breaches those rules.

If it doesn't, then get over yourself. Yes, it is that simple.

The one I don't like is curently one of someone showing a bare chest and tattoos.

But I was wondering whether the islamic relief has charity status.

But then I'd find a picture of mohhamad wanking and underneath islamic relief funny, I'd also find a picture of a catholic priest bending over an alter boy
with catholic relief written under it funny too.

They first used the slogan:

"There's probably no god. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."

Should the word 'probably' be there in a slogan for the Atheist Bus

And on the London news today:-

Khan has stated there will be no more orders for the Boris bus after the
current one is fulfilled.

Wonder how long this monument to Boris's vanity will still be on the
roads? (Usually at the side, broken down)

When will such people realise that they should take advice from experts
before going down a new route?

'Christian' has a capital 'C'. The attitude of tolerance is a
characteristic of modern western thought, because of our Christian heritage.

No, we need to stop this absurd pretence that barbaric medieval dogma is
valid.

Don't make assumptions about what I believe in. Just to enlighten you I
don't believe in any deity. My basic philosophy is, "We're all up ****

No, it isn't.

Which is why millions are fleeing to Europe, and leaving their own (non

Tolerance is not *due* to anybody. It's just that it suits the smooth
running of advanced civilised societies.

Take it away from them and they will decline and probably collapse.

On the contrary, a fish with legs/feet means the occupant of the car has
a clue and you may safely approach. If, however, the occupant is
wearing a flat cap (whippet optional) and it's a Sunday, all bets are
off.
