London stabbings: 300 extra police deployed on streets to tackle spike in knife crime
Telegraph ^ | April 7, 2018 | Mark Molloy and Press Association

Posted on 04/07/2018 6:31:56 PM PDT by EdnaMode

Hundreds of additional police officers have been deployed on the streets of London this weekend in areas of the capital worst affected by the spike in violent crime.

It comes as Mayor of London Sadiq Khan promised more arrests and backed increasing the use of intelligence-led stop and search by police, insisting keeping Londoners safe is his “top priority”.

Mr Khan has also invited Home Secretary Amber Rudd and London MPs to a summit at City Hall next week to discuss new measures for tackling the violence.

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick has insisted the force has “not lost control” of the capital’s streets, but acknowledged the escalation of violence was “very worrying”.

The rising wave of knife crime saw six stabbings in 90 minutes in the capital on Thursday, with a 13-year-old left fighting for his life after an attack in Newham, east London. Three teenage boys, a 13-year-old and two 16-year-olds, have been charged over the incident.

So, when does Mayor Con (Kahn) just rename the place ‘LONDONISTAN’ and make this SURRENDER official?

stop and search for weapons

That's racist!!!! Your leftists will not tolerate it for long,and the accusations of racism will fly. Soon after that charge is uttered you will capitulate, as you always do.

London is a centralized hoard zone. It won’t be long before the hoards venture out en masse.

I believe that getting rid of London’s Muzzie mayor will help a great deal.

Londonistan is a no go zone. The Brits are in a heap of trouble.

That is what happens when they let in all they did from the muslim countries... also their mayor is not British.

I don’t understand lack of common sense.. I don’t understand when adults can’t figure out the outcome of what they do when it’s just plain wrong.

Probably should ban all silverware. You know forks and spoons can be melted into sharper points.

"Knife crime"

There was a dude in London way back when, hunnert years or more ago, who really got into that. Don't think they ever caught him, though.

Let me guess, “Asian youths” who somehow are given to “knife violence.” These knives are obviously out of control.

Banning the Ginsu in England has saved the lives of countless tin cans.

Brits cannot even carry a stick or switch legally if the obvious intent is to use it as a weapon - even if for self defense.

Lester Maddox Ax handles are a definite No-no as are barrel staves and pitchforks.
