Air Ambulance Called to More Stabbings and Shootings than Road Accidents in Sadiq Khan's London

[Breitbart London] London’s Air Ambulance had to attend more stabbings and shootings than road traffic accidents for the first time in its almost 30-year history in 2017.

Newly released figures reveal that airborne trauma specialists and paramedics treated some 560 shooting and stabbing victims over the course of the year, compared to 533 cyclists, drivers, passengers, and pedestrians who had been involved in road traffic accidents, the Evening Standard reports.

Dr. Gareth Grier, the Air Ambulance service’s lead clinician, said it is now "not unusual now for our teams to perform open-chest surgery for stab wounds twice in a single day," adding: "This would have been unheard of a few years back."

He tried to offer the public some reassurance by telling them his team’s "world-leading treatments mean that we can give these [stabbing and shooting victims] and other patients we treat the best possible chance of survival."

Meanwhile, apologists for city Mayor Sadiq Khan, who has overseen a massive rise in crime and terror attacks since he took office in 2016, have tried to downplay the news, noting that the number of collisions attended by Air Ambulance crews declined compared to 2016 ‐ but this does not disguise the fact that the number of shootings and stabbings attended increased by 60.

#2 I understand the stabbings, but how can there be shootings in London? Guns are illegal!

#3 It must be noted that the world-leading treatments are only available until supplies run out. After that they can join the rest of the triaged unfortunates in the waiting room, while everyone denies that the National Health Service is running out of money.

#4 There’s a map of incidents at the link — does anyone know how that relates to high-Muslim populations around London?
