London continues its downward spiral under London Mayor Saddiq Khans leadership. Or lack thereof.
According to figures from the London Metropolitan Police, 49 percent of knife crime is committed by teenagers. Even more revealing were numbers that indicated that three quarters of knife crime perpetrators were minorities.
This is part of a larger trend of failed government policies that are beginning to produce toxic social outcomes throughout the UK.
For a start, it doesnt help that the UK has an expansive welfare state that is not very conducive to immigrant assimilation. One neednt look further at the case of Sweden to see how welfare states incentivize socially destructive behavior among immigrant groups.
It also doesnt help that the UK doesnt guarantee gun rights like our Second Amendment. After mass shootings in Hungerford, England, and Dunblane, Scotland, the political class in London has heavily restricted the ownership and usage of firearms in the country.
...
London specifically experienced record high knife crime, increasing by 15 percent to a total of 14,987 blade offences representing 38 percent of all knife crimes across England and Wales and averaging 41 knife crimes a day
...
Londons political class is clearly out of touch with reality and does not strike at the root of its crime problem. Until it starts considering tougher policing methods or measures that allow for law-abiding citizens to defend themselves, we can only expect crime to continue to increase.

Knives don’t commit crime. Oh, you meant crimes committed using knives! What’s out of control is m*slims who kill people using knives. Speak the truth.
Killing people is not about the weapon used.
Killing people is about the people who do the killing.
Minority teens...minority teens...maybe they can find the common thread.
Should the knife disposal bins be in Urdu?
And acid tossings
But I thought knives were banned......must be fake news....everybody knows mussies are peace loving goat herders...
They do have strict knife control. Go to Ebay uk and do a search for knives. You will be hard pressed to find anything over the size of a steak knife or a Swiss army knife.
“... if you defend yourself in your home, you are going to jail and the burglar can sue you.”
They’ve lost it over in Old Blighty. Yet the stinking Brits have the nerve to lecture us about our “lax gun laws”, “dangerous cowboy culture”, “cult of armed machismo” and so on.
Google “American gun culture” and see what turns up under `guardian uk’. The comments following gun control articles are especially vile. They are a deluded doomed people.
Ban knives and they’ll take up axes and hammers.
Knives have developed minds of their own and are committing crimes?
Oh, those peaceful, peace-loving moozlums.
Love my Gerbers and Bucks!
Not so. The recent surge has been predominantly in black Afro-Caribbean areas rather than Muslim areas.
You could make a killing selling knives in London.
I’ve got some Sweet Blades!
That made me laugh. :)
I guess being knifed with a knife, instead of a potato peeler would be better. If I had to choose...
They will give you a Bible if you bin your knife. Interesting.
I’d get a Kevlar turtleneck if I had to be around Mooselimbs.
Watch Netflix series on bad tenants and landlords, in Great Britain. The deadbeat tenant can go without paying for YEARS, and the landlord will go to jail if he gets them out himself!
