The conservative government cut the funding for the Bobbies you moron which was why crime increased in the first place, how the hell do you come to the conclusion Sadiq khan is at fault?
Why cut funding for useful institutions that help prevent crime and then about crime when it increases?
If police weren't allowed to stop and search people at random until recently what difference does that cut make? 3 cops walking around your street vs 5 cops doing it is meaningless if they are essentially disarmed. Your police dont even have guns and dont do armed patrols so where is the intimidation to stop crime? UK police seem to be a response and investigation force which doesnt do.
Go check out the graphs from the BBC which I find to be a left wing biased news organization

You definitely don't know anything about England.
Police stop and frisk policy had a low success rate at best. It did absolutely nothing to beat in knife crime whereas active patrols did, no roadman is dumb enough to keep an obvious weapon or contraband on them. There was a BBC article on this already.

Arned patrols stay in their cars and whizz around till they're actually needed, it's the police not the fucking military. The deterrent itself was always the police since no one is dumb enough to go against 3 guys with tasers, CCTV on radio and backup a few minutes away but now with all that gone and just one guy courtesy of the Tory government there isn't much of a deterrent for crime.
So what has the Tory government to stop crime since they've been in for around a decade?
Mate you're having a laugh, what research warranted this result?

As @Knowles pointed out they've become subtle conservative lapdogs after a few people were installed.[/QUOTE]
First off if you think the BBC is sympathetic to the right wing you are clearly smoking something. Second if people are carrying knives on their person and assaulting people being stopped and frisked by a police officer will expose the knife wielder. The fact that they know that police are highly unlikely to stop and frisk them means that they are free to have them on their person which may potentially escalate a confrontation they may run into and you may get a stabbing as a result. What has Sadiq Khan done as mayor of London? If you have a mayor who is incapable of saying that minorities in ghettos are at fault for this then how can you expect the national government to provide results with an incompetent leader. Ill agree the conservatives weren't effective and Cameron/May are both inept but I think someone who has a pair of balls will be able to address it.
