Didn't London's Muslim mayor say "It is all part and parcel of living in a big city"?
"Hospitals in Mayor Sadiq Khan's London resemble those in a war zone, a senior surgeon working to save victims of the capital's surging violent crime wave has said.
The shock comments made Thursday morning come after two more men were killed overnight, a couple of days after another night of violence saw a boy, 16, stabbed to death and a 17-year-old girl shot in a "drive by".
Wednesday night's killings, both in Hackney, East London, brought the death toll from suspected murder in the capital to 50 so far this year, pulling away from New York City, which London overtook at the weekend.
Dr. Mark Griffiths, the lead surgeon at Barts Health NHS Trust in East London, said that knife and gun wounds had moved from a "niche" part of his job to a daily chunk of his workload, and a growing number of victims were "children".
