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.

Hey, the Brits have “stop and search” (i.e. our “stop and frisk”) and they say it works.
Somebody tell that to Mayor DeComio of New York and those of Philadelphia, Baltimore, DC, Cleveland, Detroit, LA, SF, Oakland, Seattle and Portland, among other Democrat crapholes.
Heads are sure to roll at this race
The Brits need knife control!
For gun control sure as heck has worked for them, right?
First, they come for your guns and then they come for your knives.
You must be over 50.
Bingo!!
“intelligence-led stop and search”
NYC tried something like that and liberals lost their flippin’ minds...profiling, racism, etc..
So now the liberals have to ban knives and when this is done they will ban....................
Love your Mumbly Peg post!
Boy - Does that bring back some memories!
Most of the time we couldn’t remember all the moves but that didn’t really matter.
No self respecting boy would ever want to get caught without his pocket knife back in those days!
We kept them sharp with just a stone or piece of brick and a little spit.
The park behind my grandma’s house had a huge sandbox with a roof over it. Spend many a Sunday playing mumbly-peg after church while waiting to be called in for spaghetti dinner.
Ever been peened in the head with a day old crumpets?
Well, let me tell you it’s not a pretty sight.
Well, I don’t actually know but I imagine they could leave some redness.
Wow. GB sucks. No wonder Americans revolted to leave that sick culture.
It would’ve been nice to see the UK before it was overrun...
It's a shame to see how far the Brits have fallen though.
At one time they pretty much ruled a huge part of the world.
Now they are reduced to simpering butt boys for their muslim invaders.
Hubby & I will be visiting London next November. I’ve jokingly suggested we make some leather collars, like the Marines had so long ago. Hubby laughed off the suggestion, but anyone who works with leather might have a new product to sell.
Don’t they still make ice picks? That would be my next weapon of choice.
It is unfortunate that an uncle of mine died defending Britain in WWII. What a waste of life.
