UK Politics: (the battle of the YouTube channels)

Coming to a TV near you on Saturday evening. Farage isn't going to like this - expect another avalanche of distracting boat and foreigner related rants over the coming days, with the associated populist "press conferences".

Sadiq Khan takes new swipe at Donald Trump over London murder rates

The answer is "yes, there are grooming gangs in London, and I so badly want to make my clan the victims, but the racist counsellor won't take my bait":

Grooming gang inquiry to focus on Oldham, Bradford and London

The inquiry says it will initially focus on Oldham, Bradford and Keighley, and London.

TL;DR: as police commissioner for London, I don't trust Khan's stats further than I can throw them.

Sure, he deserves criticism for these evasive tactics done deliberately but surely, give credit where it is due ? Or one strike and you are out, if one has Khan surname ?

Unlike million strike limits for likes for Farage & Trump ?

On the back of this clip, your assertion is that all official crime stats are bollocks?

At what point do you believe they're interfered with - police failing to accept /investigate crime reports, or are the stats given a subsequent haircut?

Some evidence of either would be great.

I mean, crime stats will generally fall over the long term if you simply choose not to deal with crime:

Burglary ‘decriminalised’ across London as break-ins go unsolved

In one north London neighbourhood, zero out of 131 burglaries were solved by police
www.standard.co.uk www.standard.co.uk

And that means that the public begins to not even bother contacting the police anymore because they know nothing will be done if something gets stolen. Et voila, crime stats go down.

And, of course, something that's probably close to your heart: hate crime. There's been a massive spike in recent years: not because there's been an actual increase in the number of Reform voters going out of their way to hunt down minorities in the streets, but because in 2026 everything is a hate crime if you're on the left (even the definition of hurty words have changed).

So, yes, I believe numbers are being fudged everywhere.

We've been watching The Wire (great show btw), and we're on that part where instead of fighting an endless drug problem in the district, they decide to move all the dealers off the corners into a "free zone", which led to a 14% drop in the first couple of months of overall drug-related arrests. They didn't remove the problem - they just moved it. Our own real-world example was the relaxing of laws related to shoplifting: under £200, and it wasn't logged as a crime. What do you suppose that did to the stats? The government solved shoplifting! Thankfully, Labour, to their credit, have now reversed that.

The most commonly cited crime reductions are to do with knife crime and murders. Difficult to fudge murder stats, due to the inconvenient situation of their being a dead body involved. And even so, the burglaries you mention would have been reported anyway. I don't for one minute believe that the stats are fudged in any material way.

It just seems to me that some people are determined to be miserable and negative. Although to be fair, you are far from the worst in this regard.

Like you said, it is happening across the country and not only London. Pity that Sadiq khan doesn't do anything despite being background PM since last 10 years.

But seriously dude, you can hate Islamists & Islam and still give credit where credit is due. You have nfi how much I find Islam abhorrent but give credit where it is due. That is fair. FFS - hate all brown people too but FFS, be fair at times.
The Sun said there were 184,783 burglaries across the country where an investigation was finished in 2025.
Around 143,000 had been shut down without a suspect being identified - 393 a day, it reported.

You must remember that Sadiq is guilty of being mayor while being Muslim. Therefore he can't possibly be doing a good job.

Quite why he keeps on being re-elected, despite London's population being 85% non-Muslim, is one of life's little mysteries. Perhaps elections are fudged too. 🤔

I mean, it's a well-known fact that non-whites/minorities are going to vote for the non-white/minority guy, and whites will vote for the guy who represents their political party regardless of what colour he is.

Of course, the below stats are already 5 years old, and we've had the highest level of immigration in the country's history in that period, so numbers are going to look very different after the next census.

And let's not forget Labour's share of the London vote:

So yeah, I'm also surprised why a Muslim Labour candidate keeps getting voted in. 😏

So now brown people vote for Sadiq just because he's brown too?

Meanwhile as per your own AI stats, more than half of London is still white. Plus the most "white" borough, Richmond, is emphatically Lib Dem, not Labour.

I just find it odd that you think that people will always vote along racial lines.
