Almost half of London’s citizens say that the current mayor’s record on knife crime is poor or very poor according to a new survey conducted for the London Real Party on behalf of Mortar Research.
 
With a majority of voters in more than half of the capital’s boroughs suggesting that Sadiq Khan’s attempts to deal with knife crime are failing, it is also telling that a mere 9% of respondents to our survey indicated that he has done “very well” on this most important of issues.
 
The truth is this: Metropolitan Police-recorded knife crime rose by a fifth in the last year, and London’s knife crime rates are well above the English average: roughly 10.1 people for every 100,000 residents are admitted to hospital having been assaulted with a knife or sharp object in London, compared with 6.2 admissions per 100,000 across England as a whole.
 
Knife crime has become a blight on our capital and, whatever spin the mayor and his expensive PR team puts on it, the cold hard facts are that lives are being damaged, destroyed and lost in greater numbers.
 
He has closed police stations across the city, failed to address deep-rooted concerns around policing and prefers to pose for pictures with officers rather than helping them address this dreadful issue.
 
As things stand, following years of closures, Londoners will be left with just one police station per borough.
 
As your next Mayor of London, I pledge to reverse this policy, opening more police stations, putting 10,000 more officers on the streets, and working closely with authorities and the third sector to address the root causes of knife crime in the capital.
 
We need to find a way to end this cycle of fear and violence. 
 
On May 2nd, vote for a candidate with policies designed to make London a safe city once again. Vote for me, Brian Rose, and together we can transform our city.
