If I remember right, the general consensus of the board when he was elected predicted this.


Britain’s media celebrated in droves when London elected its first Muslim mayor, Sadiq Khan, in May 2016.

Now the cacophony caused by the “we’re not racist” backslapping has ended, the true implications of a Khan mayoralty are being realised.

In Britain’s capital over the past year, Khan presided over rises in knife crime, gun crime, theft, burglary, rape, homicide, and more. And not just by a little bit, either.

Some in the media — by which I mean basically just me — predicted Khan might be a disaster for London, but the extent to which this is true was beyond even our worst nightmares.

Parking the anecdotal evidence of Khan giving preference to genital mutilation-linked groups, and using his platform to agitate against the U.S. President, the statistics reveal a terrifying incompetence in keeping London safe — one of the mayor’s core areas of responsibility.

Data from the Mayor of London’s Police and Crime Office — led by former lobbyist-turned-Deputy Mayor Sophie Linden — reveals a sharp uptick in violent crime in Khan’s first year.

From the years 2015/16 to 2016/17, homicides in London rose by 27.1 per cent. Youth homicide jumped 70 per cent. Serious youth violence was up 19 per cent. Robbery was up 33.4 per cent, while home burglaries rose by 18.7 per cent.

Theft went up by over 10,000 incidents in a year, up 33.9 per cent, and there were more than 4,000 additional knife crime incidents under Khan than under his predecessor, a rise of 31.3 per cent.

Rape in the capital rose by 18.3 per cent, while there were 2,551 incidents of gun crime, representing a rise of 16.3 per cent on the previous year.

The Mayor has continuously blamed central government “police cuts” for the problems faced, but statistics reveal London only lost around 1,000 police officers (3 per cent) in the past year, reducing the workforce from 31,343 to 30,379.

Earlier this year London overtook New York City as one of the most dangerous capital cities in the Western world. The House of Commons recently revealed the UK capital has more acid attacks per capita than any other city in the world.

The Guido Fawkes blog notes: “In the years before Khan became mayor the numbers had fallen significantly – the Tories had got the numbers down to between 10 and 15 deaths of young people per year from over 30” and asks: “Why isn’t Sadiq facing more pressure on this? It should really be a much bigger story…”

Of 40 categories, crime in just six areas fell: anti-social behaviour calls (1.2 per cent), domestic abuse incidents (four per cent), domestic abuse with injury (one per cent), non-home or business burglaries (10 per cent), criminal damage (1.6 per cent) and disability-related hate crime (34 per cent).

I know NYC thinks they should be the capital, but.........

That is a head scratcher ain't it
Turn animals like these on a civil populaces,then be amazed at the results.
Kinda sad but predictable

It's just like de Blasio in New York- these leftist imbeciles voted in their hero, so, let 'em suffer. They asked for it, they got it.

acid attacks about sums it all up.

I took the man at his word after a terrorist attack, "Get used to it."

When the Brits have had enough, the streets will run red.

This is how leftists operate.

1.) Secure a position of power.
2.) Reduce support for policing/crime enforcement
3.) Tell the populace that higher crime is "to be expected" in a utopia
4.) Push for new, restrictive laws to combat the new "crime wave" (anti-gun, personal freedoms, privacy, etc)
5.) Smile. You just gained more control over the people and forced them to be more dependent on your government

The British appear to be just about the least revolutionary people on Earth. They still have a queen.

They're not going to revolt. It's about the last thing they would do. If my opinion offends anyone, they'll just have to be offended.

For those that like numbers...

"More acid attacks per capita"???? Wtf?

Not even Chicago has acid attacks going on!

Was New York the number one murder capitol of the world? Serious question as I thought it was relatively safe there....

NYC didn't even make the list...

I see Chester, Pennsylvania is #2 on the most dangerous cities in the USA list.

Some years ago I made a wrong turn off I95 and drove into downtown Chester. I felt like the white man in the "B" movie in the middle of the Congo hearing the drums sending a message of his arrival.

Shameful to see what has happened to England since WW2.

I unfortunately believe all is lost there - similar to Germany.
