I've always said that I would only live in London if someone paid me to do so. Now I'd chuck the money back at them.
Beats me why anyone who can move out - doesn't. I'm thinking about an old schoolfriend (comes from Yorkshire, knows we don't wear woad) who has a granddaughter who has had to give up her job due to panic attacks on the roads and transport down there.
'Why doesn't she apply for a job further north?' I asked. 'She'd be fine up here.' Totally blank response from granddaughter.
It is horrible, but people will vote for Khan. I'm so sorry for those who can't move out; really, really sorry for some (including my old school-friend who is now housebound and her daughter can't visit as often because of the ULEZ charges) - but why don't others just vote with their feet?
Mayor Khan has just won a thumping majority against a rather hopeless Tory opponent in the London mayor election.
You can attempt to oust him again in 4 years when hopefully you can find a more credible/electable candidate.
Until then, this 500 year streak of London being a crime ridden place will continue.
The following police areas have higher crime rates per capita than London - highest first:
Cleveland, West Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, West Midlands, Merseyside, South Yorkshire, Humberside, Gwent, Durham.
Furthermore, the rise in crime in London corresponds with the reduction in funding for the police. The mayor is not responsible for police funding, that's the responsibility of the Government - ie, the Tory austerity measures.
London is not the pits, despite the weather, it's full of things to see and do; I have Muslims on each side of me, and black people, and people from EU countries upstairs, and they're all fine. But if people quaake in fear and move out to the notoriously crime-free shires ... well, so much more space for the other 8 million of us.
London is a total pit no matter what the hard left/commies on here are trying to claim with their whataboutery. I do wonder if some have actually been there aprat from to see Buck House.
I lived in Peckham in the 90's so I am well used to things not being cosy but now, no. It's finished.
Time has come I think to release London of the Capital crown. Back to Winchester I propose.
