There have been several more stabbings recently in London. These latest stabbings take the tally for murders in London up to 129. This is only five less than the 2018 figure of 134 which in itself was the highest for a decade.

London, it needs to be said, is governed mostly by the Labour Party and with a Labour mayor Sadiq Khan. As is often the case these days as with other Labour areas, London is being turned into a dangerous shithole by crime and mismanagment of the response to crime.

Greater London has had the misfortune to have been ruled for nearly a whole mayoral term by Sadiq Khan who has presided over a rapid disintegration of safety in the capital. His failure to deal with the issue of street violence and gang violence coupled with his insistence on splurging £1.7M on a ludicrous and wasteful ‘hate crime hub’ has contributed to the rise in violence in London.

Sadiq Khan was voted in to a large extent by those in minority communities to whom Khan said should be safe from racial attack and from allegedly racist law enforcement. Unfortunately and indeed ironically, it has been Black Londoners who seem to have been disproportionally affected. This is especially the case when we look only at the sort of teen on teen acts of violence that don’t seem to be being cleared up as much or as swiftly as they should. Black families are losing children because they fell for Sadiq Khan’s ‘racism’ snake oil. Khan has failed to properly prioritise the policing of the streets or break up the gangs or even try hard enough in crime prevention. Instead he has prioritised his own vanity projects whether that be the ‘hate crime hub’ or the £300k the Mayor spent on building a temporary artificial beach for a one off event.

Khan and his Labour cronies have presided over an administration that is wasteful, badly run, wrongly staffed and which has a whole set of wrong priorities in a variety of fields ranging from the environment, business and crime. However the big failure in my view is public safety, or the increasing lack of it in London. London is a mess and the reason for that is the same as the reason why London is afflicted by so much ‘khanage’ and that is Sadiq Khan. He needs to go and the ballot box is the way. Don’t get taken in by the false promises trotted out by Labour and Khan at the next Mayoral election. Vote instead for something better and kick Khan to the kerb.
