That’s what Londoners get by voting in a dodgy mayor

I went to Bromley for a party last summer. Didn't have to pay ULEZ so no real idea what you're whittling about?
As somebody who walks alongside busy A roads through a city to work on a regular basis, I can assure you cleaner cars are nothing to moan about. If only lorries and small trucks were able to follow suit.

It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.

Having witnessed blatant theft without consequences at Liverpool Street Station I would treat these figures with contempt


I've seen two instances of shoplifting at Morrison's in Felixstowe recently. I cannot believe that crime is now so bad in my home town that we've overtaken London.

Given you’ve downvoted me for pointing out the fact that Boris was the “dodgy mayor” ( not my words, the words of carliselaway) who introduced the thing he’s moaning about, I treat your views with contempt obviously.

As somebody who has lived in Central London for about fifteen years now, and hear these things said about Sadiq fairly regularly from people who live nowhere London it's become apparent, after engaging these people that invariably the only thing they actually know about him is that he's brown and has a foreign sounding name.

He's not perfect, but we survived Boris so....

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

Newcastle and Birmingham away trips this year have both had clean air schemes pop up in my sat nav.

I’m wondering if this fella ever made it to Carlisle given he doesn’t seem well travelled…

My point was that he was exhibiting Trumplike behaviour in posting partial statistics, which is a pet hate of mine and the point stands. What are the stats for other types of crimes across the same period? Why not share them all?


He's highlighted the crimes that he constantly gets hammered over by people who aren't comfortable with London having a Muslim mayor. It's not like he's picked really obscure crimes nobody cares about. I'm not sure he'd be able to cram stats for every crime into one infographic. Comparing this to Trump is blatant false equivalence and very unhelpful in political discussion.

The met police infographic doesn't show a breakdown of all crimes, it's the headline overall crime rate. People don't criticise Khan because London has a lot more online fraud now, they talk about the types of crime he's highlighted in his tweet. But you know this.

the met infographic can show any crimes, or combination of crimes, you wish to see. use the drop down menu, tick the crimes you're interested in, and the info graphic appears showing those changing over time. you don't care at all about online fraud - fine, don't include and produce an info graphic without it. but surely you know how menus work?

what we've established is that if you choose different time periods and combinations of different types of crime you can produce different infographics and tell a different story. which one someone chooses to include in a tweet from amongst the many possible infographics should be treated with caution. how to read critically can't be entirely new to you surely?

It's quite funny watching the pill on here. I'm from this area, and ULEZ is so unpopular that locals around Bromley and Bexley kept cutting down the traffic lights the cameras were attached to. Ask the locals around Hayes West Wickham Biggin Hill etc what they think of Khan and ULEZ, and you'll hear people calling him a lot worse than just a dodgy mayor! I'm not condoning the criminality, of course, but unless you're from here, I doubt you'll understand just how unpopular ULEZ really is.
