How to reduce knife/violent crime in our cities

[blup]

the good old days.

You’re not that old

 

[transam]

any one committing knife crime to be executed

 

[johnny2007]

I have never told you any such thing.
Please show me where I said that.

You told me last night, in the lights of the Eiffel tower...
Weirdo!

Reported.

You're imagination knows no bounds. It can take any weird and perverted direction you can imagine.

Speak to any officer in London.

And they tell you that numbers are decreasing? Tip, check the facts yourself

Of course such orders are never written down, like many other orders, i.e. shoplifting.

No police officer will get any problems if he/she does his job correctly. Stopping people is part of that.

Police Officer/Staff Allocation (3)

Questions to the Mayor: Can you provide me with an estimate of the per capita number of Police Officers/Staff broken down by borough in 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019 and 2022.

www.london.gov.uk

You should check that link, it says exactly when the numbers dipped and increased. Blame those responsible, the Tories. I gave you the fact link with numbers, it is factual. FACT

The link shows a rapid decline of number of officers since the midget empire against London population.
Ask someone who can understand numbers to explain to you what "number of officers per 1000 residents" means.
Practically, population of London increased by 1.8 million since the midget took over and number of police remained more or less the same.
So there are now (2025) 3.1 officers every 1000 residents compared to 3.6 in 2016.
On this planet that's a drop, not an increase.
Numbers fell in 2014 under bojo but not to such dangerous levels.
That's without considering the much higher number of crimes in the capital now compared to 2016, when the midget took over.
Look at this link where you'll find all statistics related to crimes in London.

London knife crime 2025| Statista

Knife crime in London has increased significantly in recent years, reaching a peak for police recorded offences in the 2024/25 reporting year.

Coincidentally, there was a sharp rise in 2016/2017 which continues today.
And the midget is doing nothing about it; in fact, he's closing down more police stations.

No, it doesn't. Look at the numbers and the years.

Ask someone who can understand numbers to explain to you what "number of officers per 1000 residents" means.

Ask someone who can understand numbers to explain falling police numbers to you.

Practically, population of London increased by 1.8 million since the midget took over and number of police remained more or less the same.

Incorrect. They are building the numbers back up, it takes time. Especially regarding experienced officers.

So there are now (2025) 3.1 officers every 1000 residents compared to 3.6 in 2016.
On this planet that's a drop, not an increase.

Yes, building back up. Why were they so low? A FACT that you keep ignoring.

Numbers fell in 2014 under bojo but not to such dangerous levels.

Huh ?

That's without considering the much higher number of crimes in the capital now compared to 2016, when the midget took over.

None so blind as those that will not see. Look at the full picture, and the reasons, not just a snapshot.

Coincidentally, there was a sharp rise in 2016/2017 which continues today.

Sharp rise in 2016/17 ? 2010 to 2109 was around a 10% cut in numbers.

And the midget is doing nothing about it; in fact, he's closing down more police stations.

That I sort of agree with you, but I prefer to see more active officers than manned stations.

 

[johnny2007]

Incorrect. They are building the numbers back up, it takes time. Especially regarding experienced officers.

So you agree that at the moment the numbers are not adequate and short of what we had before the midget.
Thanks

Yes, building back up. Why were they so low? A FACT that you keep ignoring.

Building back up...
When?
How?
The midget has lied to everyone on every single subject since he took over, what makes you think that he's not lying now?
He slashed police numbers by not increasing the workforce against the rapidly growing population.
That is a FACt.
Yours and his are only false promises.
Nothing new.

Yes

nd short of what we had before the midget.

No

Thanks

You're welcome

Building back up...
When?

Look at the figures, it shows you

How?

More recruits, and training, it's the only way

The midget has lied to everyone on every single subject since he took over, what makes you think that he's not lying now?

You have too much bias to look at any full picture.

He slashed police numbers

No, it was the Tories

by not increasing the workforce against the rapidly growing population.

It's a balancing act and always has been. Personally I prefer better public services, but it comes at a cost.

That is a FACt.

The actual facts are different to your bias.

Yours and his are only false promises.

I've not promised you anything.

Nothing new.

No, life and public services has been like this for decades. 1 side cuts and 1 side builds up.

People love the cutting of costs but hate the results. Just put the blame where it belongs.

Where are these better public services???
What we have seen in London since 2016 is money grabbing from city hall, more crime, hmo everywhere and degradation all around.

There's been no cutting costs and no better services.
With the midget we've been paying more and more and got feck all in return.
Apart from more crime.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

Not here yet. But you're beginning to understand who cut them. Austerity

Either numbers and costs have been reduced, or they haven't. We all know the cuts happened.

and no better services.
With the midget we've been paying more and more and got feck all in return.

I think you're getting the lines crossed.

Austerity is now biting us all on the backside

So you think that taxing us to the bones and spending money like there's no tomorrow, is the best way to go.
In that case I retire to my corner to roll my jaw back up...

Do you think the public debt can be serviced by private investment?

Provide everyone with a decent job and future.
