I live in London and most people I know dislike Khan, as far as I am aware he is still under investigation for exceeding his authority and bullying Cressida Dick the Met Commissioner out of office, not that she was good at her job, The Mayor of London leads the Greater London Authority is responsible for the strategic governance of Greater London. Along with the London Assembly of 25 members, Sadiq Khan is accountable for pan-London issues which include transport, economic development, policing (outside the City of London), civil defence and fire services, planning and the environment. |

Well the most people you know seem to be a minority in London regards to Khan I tried my best to find any logic in the above then gave up, at the last vote when he stood for re-election only roughly 1.1 million people voted for him, when he was canvasing, he was booed on a regular basis, Londoners are not happy with his road calming methods and more and more cycle lanes, which has increased congestion traffic jams, high congestion charges, some people living in London have had to buy new cars because of the strict emissions areas which he wants to expand to cover all of London. I can understand he wants to improve air quality in London, which is needed but IMO he is squeezing every penny he can out of motorists before 2030 He has put up fares on the Tube and Buses, TFL is skint again, he has cancelled some bus routes which has angered an awful of lot people, he is thinking about charging people who do not live in London to drive into London, which would include tradesmen in vans carrying tools etc, delivery vehicles, the additional costs would be passed onto their customers When he went on tour of India and Pakistan, he told them come to London its open, what the Pratt forgot was the fact it is difficult to find accommodation in London very expensive to rent and buy, he has not built much social housing since he has been in office nowhere near what he promised supply is outstripping demand and has been for a long time He is about as much use as a one-legged man at an arse kicking contest |

The crime rate in Londonistan was 92.8 crime offences per thousand people for the period April 2021 to March 2022, the lowest crime rate reported in the provided time period. Between 2015/16 and 2019/20 the crime rate in the UK capital increased in every reporting year, with the sudden drop seen in the 2019/20 reporting year likely due to the Coronavirus pandemic causing a sharp reduction in certain types of crime such as robbery and theft. www.statista.com/statistics/380963/london-crime-rate/ |

But you know from threads elsewhere that he did not with much power actually residing with the Home Secretary. How interesting that you attribute no blame to a succession of Tory wastes of space in that role. |

Probaly off on his jollys somewhere or other. |

That’s a bit unfair imo. You can have wall to wall coppers but if they are not focussed on what the public expects ie protecting the public from criminals then they are as useless as no coppers at all. Imo the police ‘ service’ doesn’t differentiate between the victims and perpetrators as much as it should . remember Jonksy ludicrously said numbers make no difference Yes of course focus matters and yes of course a small % of police time is wasted on strange activities but when you fundamentally don't have enough police to attend burglaries even days after the event then we have gone well past the tipping point and Jonksy is in absurd denial. Jonksy actually posted: "Numbers of police make no difference if they are left to get on with their jobs rather than being persuaded to act like pricks by the usual woke brigade." So you are misrepresenting him to try to score points. It's dishonest debating. Labour introduced unwarranted Police personnel which was a serious mistake IMO. At that time they needed more fully warranted officers. Labour then started to try to fog the police numbers by calling them all "Police Officers". Police numbers should rise with the number of people in the population. 1 officer per 400 population would be a reasonable starting point. |

Where did anyone state that FFS? It's a test case to see if your "Numbers of police make no difference if they are left to get on with their jobs rather than being persuaded to act like pricks by the usual woke brigade.' assertion had any merit and it failed it. Grow up FFS you couldn't even answer the simple question of would you prefer to employ 2 people who knew what they were doing or 10 that didn't? |

Not that I couldn't answer but I chose not to as a higher priority was challenging his BS |

I think every other person on the planet except one would understand …ffs Well feel free to show us where Jonksy asked that question. The search engine says he didn't Nope. The pedant with a grudge said he didn’t . Anyone who can understand common prose and pretty much read between the lines of common speech would. I pity anyone trying to have a casual chat with you Steve . It would be ok until someone unwittingly exclaims something like ‘ no one believes that ‘ then the pedantry would kick in , followed by pathetic jibes about Specsavers being open tomorrow then ‘ big fat lies ‘ . I bet you are a barrel of fun at parties . |

Most police are very good, most police time is organised as well as reasonably can be for the right purposes but some people will always assume that the so called 'Woke' activities are somehow taking up most of their time just because the Daily Trash tells them that.
For decades we have staffed our police to the quality and quantity levels many think we should be affording and not the levels that we need to control crime. FFS we don't even properly record the horrendous levels of crime where you, I and the little lady down the street are the subject of attempted fraud nigh on daily.

The most dangerous places in England and Wales are; Durham, North Wales, Kent, Humberside, South Yorkshire, Merseyside, West Midlands, Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire and Cleveland
None of these places are part of London. So play safe and stay inside the M25 Have you ever tried to find out how Churchill services gather their data or how it is coalated? It appears they use mostly phone apps. You would have more succes in finding out the finer intricacies of the Kremlin than find out anything about Churchill. Where are the daily crimes reported in these so called most dangerous places in the same volume as they are for London? Quite frankly my dear I don't beleive a word of it. Here's the relevant ONS dataset www.ons.gov.uk/file?uri=/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/datasets/policeforceareadatatables/yearendingjune2022/pfajun22.xlsxSee table P3 It appears to back Borchester up |

It does in deed back those figures up. But why are these crimes in say Manchester not reported in the same volume as they are in London? There seems hardly a day that a London crime is not reported. |
