Why's Khan getting the blame for the govt cutting police funding? Why's it down to him that society is so unequal and sickly? I just don't get what he's meant to do about this with a relatively small budget facing forces which dwarf his capacity to fight them? Its hard to avoid the obvious conclusion |
Cutting budgets yet an additional £100m was given enough to police forces to tackle knife crime, it may not be enough but it’s a start, and it’s certainly better than not been given any funding.
I don’t know the answer, you don’t know the answer, but we are not mayors of cities. |  |

You do realise that it's possible for him to both be concerned about knife crime AND to criticise Trump? The two aren't mutually exclusive. |
I don’t recall stating the two were mutually exclusive, if I did you can quote me on that.
I personally know what I would prefer, him to be dealing with horrendous knife crime rates or stir up a fuss about someone who is quite frankly above his pay grade. | |

It was of note that the Home Secretary, on the Marr programme made it pretty clear that cutting the police numbers as done by Mrs May when she was HS was very much the root cause of what has happened |  | | |

The point being that you can do both.
Or should we lock Khan in a room until no-one else gets stabbed? |  |

As I stated, you don’t know the answer. I was just stating that there has been some funding to specifically tackle knife crime which is a real growing problem, and more needs to be done with more support of course from the gov.
The Home Secretary has an opinion on what was the root of it, that’s great. But now we need a solution to it. | |

London is bigger than many countries. It is a global city. Trump has been blobbing all over it the last couple of days. He insulted its mayor before he even arrived. I think the Mayor has a right to a say.
Trump most certainly isn't above his pay grade. |  |

Can't he do both? You didn't explicitly say they're mutually exclusive but twice now you've set it up as though it's a binary choice between dealing with knife crime or attacking Trump. |  |

As I posted on Sunday the current HS laid the blame at the door of Mrs May as HS, without actually saying that directly BUT making it clear he had requested additional funds and wants even more.
As I posted elsewhere the centre & bulk of London is much safer now that in was in the 80's. | | | |

Whatever you think of Trump or Khan, the "Khan should focus on London's problems not on the president's visit" is such a nothing argument. | |

I would much rather him be making comments about how the rise in crime in the city he supposedly oversees is scarily increasing.
Some damming figures on crime in ‘his’ city since his takeover in 2016:
Residential burglary UP by 37%
Robbery UP by 60%
Homicide UP by 27% (highest number of fatalities in a decade)
Knife Crime UP by 52% | |

I imagine that's on his to do list for the other 363 days of the year. Will you be that interested when he does talk about it in the coming months though? | |

For the record, I live in London, I'm not a Labour supporter or member, I've got no real love for Khan, I've got no vested interest in defending him, but if you don't think he should be allowed to do both, your bias is telling. | |

We can’t be talking about Mr.Kahn anymore then, them statistics do not lead towards a man overseeing a successful and capable reign.
Staggering that he stated that London isn’t “Less Safe” than when he took over, worrying really. | |

I'd quite like to see Trump held to account in a public forum every day please. Might not save many lives in London, but might save many over here. So, I'd like to thank the Mayor for his work in this regard. Thanks muchly! | |

Let me make it crystal clear. Donal Trump is most certainly not ‘my man’. | |

Well, in this discussion you are more in his corner. I'm not suggestion you're a MAGA hat wearing fanboy though, sorry if that was what came across.
We do need those crime stats to judge what you're saying though:

I’m not a mayor the mayor, I don’t get paid for them kind of deductions, that’s Mr. Kahn’s job. | |

Maybe Trump should be more worried about the mass shootings in the US than knife crime in London |
I don’t live in America, that’s the yanks job to sort out that problem, Mr. Kahn needs to be sorting out what is happening in our country and our capital. | |

This is quite substantial and I'm certain most of Khan's detractors have never heard of any of it. Some of it is lip service, but much of it is tangible, active work to help combat knife crime. Now, given all this is being done, it might be worth CONSIDERING other factors when it comes to why London is getting less safe.
-The Mayor has funded a new dedicated Violent Crime Taskforce of nearly 300 police officers focusing on the areas worst affected
-Since the VCTF was launched in April 2018, the command has carried out 7,056 weapon sweeps in public parks and open spaces looking for weapons and drugs. They seized 731 knives, 539 offensive weapons, 263 firearms and arrested 3,907 suspects
-A Violence Reduction Unit has been established. This brings the police together with specialists from health, local government, probation and community organisations to tackle violent crime and the underlying causes of violent crime. The Unit is learning from counterparts in Glasgow, where a public health approach was successfully implemented over several years and led to a fall in violence.
-The Mayor has created the £45 million Young Londoners Fund to provide young people with positive alternatives to crime and to help Londoners to get out of gangs and violence and into employment and training. The second round of applications for the Young Londoners Fund opens in May 2019
-Our Stepping Stones programme, supporting at-risk young people in their transition from primary to secondary school, has been expanded to 15 schools, helping 2,100 vulnerable young Londoners
-The widely shared London Needs You Alive campaign, viewed over 4 million times, brings together role models and youth influencers to send a positive message to young people - that they shouldn’t put their lives at risk by carrying a knife. The campaign recently expanded to engage community groups, faith groups and schools with a new educational toolkit
-The Mayor’s granted £7 million to projects to combat youth violence across London and £250,000 to community groups and grassroots initiatives
-The Mayor is working to bring in more Safer Schools Officers to help to drive down knife crime in schools
-The Mayor is investing £1.4 million to continue to provide youth workers in Major Trauma Centres, and place more youth workers in hospital A&E departments, to help steer young Londoners who have been involved in knife crime away from violence in the future
-We are working with the MPS, Trading Standards and retailers to stop knives getting into the hands of underage Londoners. We are supporting and promoting the National Business Crime Centre’s Top Ten Tips for preventing the underage sale and theft of knives to all London retailers
-Knife wands are now available for every school in London to help keep young people safe, with 200 schools so far taking up the offer
-The Mayor is investing £2 million in London Gang Exit services to support young people at risk of or engaged in serious violence and help them into employment, education or training
-City Hall works with the police, charities and councils on two programmes aimed at ending and preventing gang violence and exploitation, working with victims and young people at risk. | |
