UK Knife Crime Hits Record High, Murder Surges in Khan’s London

Knife crime in England and Wales reached a historic high in the year leading up to the end of March, as murders climb again in Sadiq Khan’s London.

Crimes committed with knives in Britain jumped 6 per cent over the previous year, with some 46,265 knife crimes being recorded in the year to March 2020 — when the British government locked down the nation in response to the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.

The figures are in fact likely higher in reality, however, as Greater Manchester Police did not contribute their statistics to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) report.

The surge in bloodshed was driven in large part by crime in London, which saw a 7 per cent increase in knife-related crimes, with the number of murders in the British capital increasing by 23 per cent in the year to April. Homicides committed with a knife or blade have also risen by 28 per cent since 2018, with 86 people being stabbed to death in London last year.

The ONS report also revealed that last year there were 619 offences committed with corrosive substances — such as acid. This was the first year that the data collection agency recorded figures for such crimes.

Allah Akbar????

I’ve heard someone say that London has devolved into “Londonistan”. It would be a funny nickname for London if not for the serious implications of London being overrun by these outsiders.

Absolutely correct. I heard that Mayor Khan has been trying to outlaw all knives and anything resembling a club.

Maybe now the English are realizing what the Irish have undergone for nearly 400 years.

Yes, there are too murdering mohammedans there, but, unfortunately, there is a “knife culture” among some native punks that has probably boosted these numbers.
