Sadiq Khan Says He Has Made London Safer

One word: deluded.

And in the meantime Kahn does nothing to make London safer as crime intensifies.

"Nigel just argues with me for the sake of it"Never took you for a hypocrite.Which part of your single line post above is 'constructive'?

N V Brooks ● 2219d

The most constructive thing Londoners can now do is get rid of Kahn.  He has been a disaster.

Steve Taylor ● 2219d

Lol.  In your opinion of course.  Personally I find being constructive is more successful.

Philippa Bond ● 2219d

Nothing like a little healthy paranoia!I only debate, some may call it argue, with people who cannot substantiate outlandish claims or who blindly support failed political ideologies.In the case of support for Khan, anyone doing this, given his record of abject failure, should, as I have posted, be ashamed.

Nigel just argues with me for the sake of it

Philippa Bond ● 2222d

Sorry Keith, it was a reply to Ms. Bond.Having had a good friend stabbed to death last August makes Khan's claims ring even more hollow.An egocentic, self-publicisiong liability is not what we need as a Mayor. Let us hope that the May election brings a seed-change from the last three post-holders.

N V Brooks ● 2224d

Not sure if that's a reply to my post, NVB. I have read it, and could not agree more with your OP.Not only is he not up to the task, he is insensitive and crass with it.

Keith Iddon ● 2224d

Read it, which is why I posted.Anyone defending Khan's record should be ashamed.Did you actually read it yourself?"as a Mayor (he has) wasted a record amount of tax payers money: £90 million on more City Hall staff, £9.4 million on PR, and £32.7 million on TfL perks"Let's not mention the £1.2billion deficit that he has allowed TfL to accrue shall we?How many more police officers and vital starter homes could this have paid for?As I said, anyone defending Khan's record should be ashamed.

Whatever you think about what he has said, whether it's reasonable, balanced or completely wrong, we should try to remember that many families in London spent their first Christmas and new year without one of their loved ones  likely a victim of a stabbing or some violent act.I am not sure they would appreciate this claim.

Philippa Bond ● 2224d

Indeed they are, especially when you consider that many murders simply went unrecorded due to the vagaries of the Coroners' Courts back then.

N V Brooks ● 2229d

The rates per capita are low now compared to those of the 19th century.

Keith Iddon ● 2229d

Rubbish yep there's plenty of that in London.

Stephen Scott ● 2229d

Rubbish.The murder rate in London, although the highest this year for a decade, is still significantly lower than it was in 1990-1997 and 2000-2008.

N V Brooks ● 2229d

My opinion. Watch the newes.

Stephen Scott ● 2229d

Stephen, you have a poor grasp of history and possibly of reality, if that's what you think.

Keith Iddon ● 2229d

Ha Ha Ha London as a whole has never been so unsafe its a joke.

Stephen Scott ● 2229d

Most are unemployable in the 'real world'.There are some councillors, notably in Ealing, whose whole life and living is derived from taking payments from the public sector (and I really don't mean the caring or service sectors).

N V Brooks ● 2230d

A most disappointing Mayor. But is it him or is it the kind of people who keep getting appointed to key roles who are useless?We've had no shortage of that Ilk in this Borough and some of the spin offs and they are just the same.

Raymond Havelock ● 2230d

Men are much more likely to be attacked in public than women, and yes, I have felt if not afraid, then wary in a few situations over the 42years I have lived in this fine city.

Keith Iddon ● 2232d

Are you afraid? I've lived in London for 45 years and have never felt afraid.

Susan Kelly ● 2232d

If London is safer I would be terrified in an unsafer city.
