How to reduce knife/violent crime in our cities

[JohnD]

Not my opinion.
Your boyfriend, the midget, has consistently slashed police numbers since he came to absolute power.
Fact.

You mean Theresa May? Not a midget.

"Fact" my asre.

Yes, but they've been instructed not to use it unless strictly necessary .

You have some knowledge, or proof of this ?

How do you know?
You're in France.
I'm in London and now very rarely see a police officer.
Haven't seen a search since before Covid.

Not my opinion.
Your boyfriend, the midget, has consistently slashed police numbers since he came to absolute power.
Fact.

The cut of numbers was between 2010 (33,260) to 2019 (30,980) so approximately 10%

2025 the figure is back up to 33,201 so your assertion doesn't fit the facts.

Whether that is a sufficient number is another question, but, put the blame where it really lies. The Tories cut the numbers heavily, and what was worse (but the figures don't show) is the number of EXPERIENCED people that were cut, which caused a big issue of getting numbers and experience built up again.

You're right!

All such crime is carried out by immigrants. None of those in gangs, shoplifting, selling drugs etc etc are UK born, none of them!

Why has this not been highlighted before? You need to send your words of wisdom to government, local councils and all police authorities. This will be news to them and something they can act on.

Met Office figures, London, 2022

White Population 56% (white British 39%)
Black Population 13%

Murder
Ethnicity Count of Accused % of Accused
Unknown 1 0.55%
White 53 29.12%
Black 108 59.34%
Asian 17 9.34%
Other 3 1.65%

Gun Offences, London, 2023
Ethnicity Count of Accused % of Accused
Unknown 4 2.52%
White 42 26.42%
Black 101 64.15%
Asian 6 4.40%
Other 4 2.52%

Robbery
Ethnicity Count of Accused % of Accused
Unknown 54 1.95%
White 904 32.58%
Black 1,467 52.86%
Asian 253 9.12%
Other 97 3.50%

Knife Crime
Ethnicity Count of Accused % of Accused
Unknown 56 2.05%
White 998 36.50%
Black 1,296 47.40%
Asian 316 11.56%
Other 68 2.49%

So on average, black people are over-represented in violent crime in London by between 500% and 1200%.

Crime rose in late 20s early 30s

But hey don't let facts get in the way of prejudice huh

Is said KNIFE crime.

But hey don't let facts get in the way of your inability to read a simple post.

 

[ReganAndCarter]

Class A drugs were legal back then

And?

No ****. That's a coincidence. Black people are also overrepresented in being racially discriminated against.

Despite the differences, as well as the larger BME population in England and Wales, what is important to note is a common experience of the criminal justice system, where black and minority ethnic communities (BME) are overrepresented at almost all stages of the criminal justice process, disproportionately targeted by the police, more likely to be imprisoned and receive longer sentences than white people.

Do you think there's a correlation?

And?

People were stabbed for other reasons. Plenty of razor gangs throughout history.

Don't think it can be compared to the epdemic of knife crime that afflicts ethnic areas of many cities, especially London today.

How do you know Sadiq Khan and I are in a gay relationship?

You told me.

You have some knowledge, or proof of this ?

Speak to any officer in London.
Of course such orders are never written down, like many other orders, i.e. shoplifting.

No ****. That's a coincidence. Black people are also overrepresented in being racially discriminated against.

Do you think there's a correlation?

Yes, criminals in the long run earn less money and they try to live a lavish lifestyle, hence they're always skint.

The cut of numbers was between 2010 (33,260) to 2019 (30,980) so approximately 10%

2025 the figure is back up to 33,201 so your assertion doesn't fit the facts.

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.

Johnny's fact is the reverse of the truth.

Is he ignorant, or deliberately lying?

I would want the book thrown if a black guy attacked me but I understand that people who stole for food in Victorian London are different from those today who steal trainers to look cool or pay off drug debts. White gangs are involved in importing drugs, black gangs are part of the distribution chain.

 

[Knave of Hearts]

You told me.

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