So, let's continue the discussion about London here shall we.. I remember posting this thread not that long ago about it's rising murder rate... the numbers of murders in London, have grown since the threads inception.

Has London got worse under Sadiq Khan - I sure as hell think it has! Yet the childish mayor spends far too much time getting political and is diplomatically shaming it with puerile protests, when he should be getting his own house in order.

Stabbings in London are at their highest level in six years, a 23 % rise from the previous year.

So far in 2018 there have been 1,296 stabbings in London up to the end of April, according to official statistics from the Met Police.

Overall, looking at the UK as a whole, crime has fallen in England and Wales, consistent with the general trend since the mid 90s.
