about 2 H 43 M in.
Stabbing and murder rate is down.
2018's record was higher and the same as 2008 (Mayor Boris J)

No, but he is responsible for a huge wage bill increase, creating jobs for his lackeys, money that could have been used to fund more police, he also spent loads on a "beach" in London, again, more wasted money, Bojo was as equally profligate, but at least he will be remembered for his Boris bikes, Livingstone for the oyster card, and Khan ? , we all know what he will be remembered for, rightly or wrongly, as he has achieved nothing else.
"Boris" bikes were introduced by Ken Livingstone.
"In August 2007 the Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, announced that he was planning to implement a cycle hire scheme modelled on the successful Vélib' network in Paris. Following discussions with the Mayor of Paris, Livingstone instructed transport officials to study the Paris and similar schemes, and draw up proposals for London.[15] Discussions were conducted between Transport for London (TfL), the London boroughs and transport commissioners from Lyon, Brussels, Vienna, Berlin, Munich, Oslo and Copenhagen.[16]
In February 2008, plans for the London cycle hire scheme were officially unveiled by Livingstone.[17] The CTC and Green Party hailed the proposals as revolutionary.[9]"

Boris turned up later and claimed the credit.
no surprise, really.
Didn’t Ken Livingstone get expelled from the Labour Party for racism? Why don’t you bang on about that instead - you revel in outing racists, don’t you?

Boris I will always remember for wasting millions on a bridge

and water cannons that were sold for scrap. The bikes and the new buses were incredibly expensive too.
Livingstone I will always remember for the congestion charge and trams and his awful, whiny voice.
Khan I will remember for nothing much other than charging diesel cars.

I disagree, Boris was a spendthrift, but the bikes were, and still are referred to as Boris bikes, and that is what people think of, and yes, Ken did introduce the congestion charge, but the oyster card is his main legacy , and as for Khan't, well, name something good he has achieved during his term in office.

Depending on your stance about pollution, Khan charging/banning diesel may be considered good.
By the way, those bikes cost the taxpayer a LOT of money.

I think they weren't supposed to cost them anything.

That's bloody Ken Livingstone for you, him and his daft ideas.
Silly hatejob is seemingly incapable of reading my post, or any of the references.
Ooooh, I think I've got it now. Was he expelled for describing Africans as having "Watermelon Smiles" and calling black children "picanninnies?"
Oh no... my mistake. That was Boris. And he wasn't expelled because Conservatives look on a bit of casual racism as jolly bantz.
