Knife crime.. 3 dead

It's Khan fault when he is Mayor but when there is a Tory Mayor it will be the fault of the criminals.
 
I wonder if Theresa May cutting police budgets and losing 21,000 experienced officers had any effect?

BBC reported it was two groups of sikh men, so may not fit the typical London knife crime profile.?

The media does like to focus on the gang related crime, but there is more knife crime in all parts of society, and it is affecting everybody to some extent. More people are carrying knives because they feel threatened, and more people are willing to get their knives out in a fight.

They seem to find it necessary to emphasise the people's religion for some reason.

I wonder why that is.

Would they have done the same - mention it six times in a short piece - had it been another religion?

Zzzzzzzzz... it's not the number of police officers, it's what they do / don't do / won't do. Put 21000 new policeman into London, all using the same methods the police currently use, and nothing much will change.
 
Why did they not call them "Asians"?

Why not just call them men? Does it matter that some were Indian, some Sikh?
That is the press though. It's like the way they give the age, and describe a woman as a mother, or grandmother, or single mum, before saying anything else about them.
The press like to define people and control the dialogue, and bolster stereotypes whenever possible - it's how they keep people interesting in reading.
