London Crime Wave: Police Launch Latest Murder Probe as Khan Pledges ‘Public Health' Plan to Stop Violence
2018-09-23
BLUF:
[Breitbart] The murder, which came just hours after the non-fatal stabbing of a 17-year-old male in Limehouse, east London, was the latest of more than 100 homicides to have taken place on the capital’s streets in 2018 ‐ a figure which would most likely have been even higher had it not been for recent advances in medicine increasing survival chances of trauma patients by almost 20 percent in just shy of a decade.

London has seen not only its murder rate surge but has also recorded huge rises in other ’high harm’ crimes including acid attacks, shootings, rape, and knife crime under its Labour mayor, who insists the worrying trend is down to "police cuts" mandated by the government.

Against the backdrop of his sinking poll numbers, as London residents grow increasingly concerned over the capital’s crime figures, Khan this week announced the city would take a "public health" approach to the violence, treating knife violence like a "disease".

Admitting that results from the approach were likely to take a long time to materialise, the mayor said: "The causes of violent crime are extremely complex, involving deep-seated societal problems like poverty, social alienation, mental ill-health and a lack of opportunity."
Emphasis added.

#4  The increase in crime is entirely concentrated in areas where "diversity" is used to describe the locals.

London Imported some of the worst migrants. Which is not surprising as gimmigrants in London as some of the most subsidised.

Iron Law of Subsidy is You get more, BUT AT LOWER QUALITY.

#3  Well, letting all the Muslims in, and letting one of them run the show is a sign of mental disease. So it is a health problem.

#2  White, Anglo-Saxon Protestants restrict the police force, then also hold down opportunities for ... others. It's not my fault!

#1  Crime is actually an illness in need of treatment. I think we may have found the next mayor of Chicago.
