Sadiq Khan has turned London into a shadow of its former self
The mayor has failed to address the shocking rise in violent crime

(snippet)
Eight years of Sadiq Khanās London and what do we have to show for it? Tragically, not much. In fact, Iād challenge anyone to think of a positive legacy from his mayoralty. We mustnāt forget how heās renamed the train lines, of course, or expanded his punitive Ulez car tax, or created a fake beach, or let a Donald Trump blimp float over the city, or allowed a Jewish minority to become terrified of going into the city centre almost every week. All at the same time as achieving the ignominious accolade of London being declared the āknife crime capitalā.
For many, London is less safe today than ever before. During Khanās tenure, the Metropolitan Police has deteriorated so badly that itās been forced into special measures. It was then judged to be wholly dysfunctional by Baroness Casey, whose report tore strips off the mayor for failing to hold the police to account.
One in five Londoners now report that they have been attacked or threatened with violence in the last five years. While knife crime fell in the last year around the country, it rose in London. While other police and crime commissioners are opening new police stations, Khan is closing them.
Sexual offences in London have increased. Women often donāt feel safe in the city.
Muggings are a fact of life in London.
Our capital is now a shadow of its former self. Less vibrant, less safe, less harmonious.
Comment:
Khan is who said that islamic terrorist attacks are āpart and parcel of living in a big cityā
That alone should be a reason to not reelect him.
The Londoners need to elect someone who has their best interests in mind.
