Theft from Charity shops is at an all time high. I didn't even know that people stole from them, but it's up 20% nationwide from last year.
Gutter fodder, the lot of them. |  |

The mayors of areas with higher crime rates than London (such as Andy Burnham) don't come in for the same stick as Sadiq Khan. I wonder why?
https://metro.co.uk/2024/11/20/map-reveals-full-list-areas-uk-worst-crime-rates-
Cleveland – 132.4 per 1,000 people
West Yorkshire – 121.7
Greater Manchester – 117.7
South Yorkshire – 111.1
West Midlands – 111.1
Metropolitan Police – 105.1
Humberside – 105
Durham – 100.8
Merseyside – 100.8
Northumbria – 98..5 |
You wonder why Cleveland hasnt had as high profile media coverage as London? Maybe because it doesn’t have a highly paid mayor elected on a promise of reducing knife crime. Nor is it a city of global importance and major tourist destination. It’s not great for commerce either.
Anyone in that position should be held accountable. I’m pretty objective, so inferring some other motivation is unhelpful and unfair (whatever you are insinuating). Doesn’t mean his entire tenure has been bad but objectively, the stats show some things have very much gone in the wrong direction. |  | | |

Many apologies. My post wasn't aimed at you but was a more general long term one in the sense that Sadiq Khan has been subject to criticism from day 1 from those on the right, and in my view a lot of that (but clearly not from you) is due to the fact that he is a Muslim.
Interestingly, Khan's recent Tweet (which I never looked at) appears to be part of a fight back by him. He describes the attacks on him as attacks on London rather than him but I think that is being rather charitable.
