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.
