| Getting stabbed in the guts is part and parcel of life in a big city, apparently. |
When London's Muslim mayor Sadiq Khan was elected in May 2016, one of the loony left ideas he ran on was to greatly reduce the number of "stop and searches" by the Metropolitan Police (the Met) targeting violent gangs.
During the reign of his predecessor Boris Johnson, this tactic had been one of the main tools for reducing gang and knife crime in the capital, which is largely a Black thing. But with Khan in office "stop and searches" plummeted from over 400,000 a year to 150,000. The inevitable result was that knife crime shot up, along with other forms of violence like acid attacks.
