Mayor of London wants to ban knives

Says the man living in the Caribbean. Wonder what they think of him.

I'm sure there is a logic, that those and their chums living in the Caribbean think the whole of England is not English.

The political art of always blaming someone else.

Really? So the murder rate in London correlates with the economy, and not race or recent immigration status? Do you really want me to check that?

Yes, I do. It’s not economic, it’s socio-economic.

Recent immigration status? What does that even mean? You’ve never heard of Birmingham (UK) have you?

See, you simply don’t know enough of what you are implying. This is a usual racist ploy.

Check out crime rates in Appalachia then get back to us on socioeconomic conditions being the primary cause of violent crime.

In London, long held up as one of the world’s major capital cities – a beacon of multiculturalism, dynamism, enterprise and opportunity – death stalks the streets and alleys of its vast sprawling housing estates. Gang warfare has grown to the point where the lives of its combatants, in the main teenage boys and youths, have been reduced to the deadly scenario of kill or be killed. Meanwhile, the conclusion that the Metropolitan Police has lost control of the streets is now impossible to avoid. According to the Met’s own statistics, we learn that between January and June this year there have been

125,190 thefts

108,084 assaults and violent attacks

9,998 sexual offenses

24,918 public order offenses

21,906 drug offenses

40,409 burglaries

As for the number of homicides committed in the same six-month period, this stands at 67, with a significant proportion of those slain in the gang war mentioned above, victims of an orgy of knife crime that shows no sign of abating.

In words that deserve to be carved in stone they are so profound, Mayor of London Sadiq Khan recently announced that there is a link between poverty and violent crime among youths. It’s an intervention that is on a par with announcing the link between exposure to the sun and sunburn.

What if they banned poor people instead of knives and guns? I bet the murder rate would plummet. How many people with six figure salaries are going around stabbing people?

Honestly, this is basically what made Manhattan safe: it became unaffordable to poor people.

That's what donald wants to do

Much of the Caribbean is in London. Yeah there are jobs, but the weather isn't as nice.

This...shows how good knife stats are without gun control.

The UK is getting a handle on it though, they had a similar problem in Glasgow which is under control now, and starting to implement some strategies. It will come down, whilst the U.S knife and gun stats won't.

The officer was attacked after he and another uniformed officer attempted to stop a van near the Coopers Lane junction at Leyton High Road in east London.

The driver of the van, described as a 56-year-old man, was chased by police officers after he failed to stop for an insurance check. He then got out of his vehicle and attacked one of the officers with a machete. The officer in his 30s was said to be stabbed several times by the attacker.

Despite having been stabbed multiple times, the officer was able to use his Taser on the suspect. The attacker was then arrested by another policeman while the injured police officer was transported to the Royal London hospital by ambulance.

A 16-year-old boy has become London’s latest murder victim after he was allegedly chased into a London estate by three attackers and stabbed in the chest and back with a “machete-type knife.”

The teenager banged repeatedly on doors shouting: “Help me, help me,” in Munster Square, near Regent’s Park, on Monday night, but was turned away after being stabbed with the foot-long blade.

His death marks the 90th murder investigation opened by Scotland Yard this year. Fifteen of the capital’s victims have been teenagers, 14 of whom were fatally stabbed.

i hereby ban pieces of sharpened metal

Don't let these facts confuse you. Hopkinton, Massachusetts, has a violent crime rate of 0 per 1000 people. Anybody can post "facts." Most people don't know how to interpret facts.
