SadIQ Khan has been rebuked by the official statistics regulator for making an “incorrect” claim about falling knife crime that could mislead the public. Ed Humpherson, director general at the Office for Statistics Regulation, said that a mayoral press release had been wrong to claim that knife crime in the capital has declined since 2016 when Mr Khan took charge at City Hall. The rebuke follows a complaint to the office about a press release in July that contained quotes from Mr Khan and the claim that “knife and gun crime, homicides and burglary have all fallen since 2016”. The release, which sought to blame any rise in violent crime in the capital on cost of living pressures and the absence of government funding, was issued minutes before official Office for National Statistics data was published showing a big rise in knife crime. The data showed there were 12,786 knife offences in London in the 12 months to the end of March this year. That represented a 40 per cent rise on the 9,086 knife crimes in the capital during the equivalent 12-month period to the end of March 2016. The 2023 total of 12,786 was also up on the 11,231 knife offences recorded by police in the year to the end of March 2017. City Hall tried to defend the claim about falling knife crime by citing Met figures showing a decline since 2016 in the number of offences with injury affecting people under 25. But Mr Humpherson said the mayoral statement had not been “clear on the source of the claims” made about falling knife crime and was “not in line with best practice”. Despite the request for a correction by the statistics regulator, the false claim about falling knife crime made in the Mayor’s press release, issued on July 20, at the time of publication of this article remained uncorrected online. Wait for the Khan Saturday or some such blubbery from the resident ****wits. Meanwhile, more recent figures issued by the Office for National Statistics have shown a further large rise in knife crime in London with 13,503 blade offences recorded in the capital in the year to the end of June. That was 21 per cent up on the previous year and included 7,966 knife-enabled robberies, which represented a 36 per cent jump in such offending.
The brain dead Gammon Slayer was trawling Twatter at 2am to find dross to regurgitate on here and insists on being illogical. As usual, lots of facts not in evidence. A professional pickpocket has probably lifted two or three wallets. He sits down on his way home and looks at what he has acquired. I am 200 miles away from London but I know of Susan Hall. Best just drop that one as the Met might actually be making an effort even though she is white privileged and probably not Muslim. The pickpocket must have his own Oyster card to get around the network. Using a stolen one makes him traceable. Stolen contactless credit/debit cards can only be used until the owner notices they are gone and cancels them; plus the transactions are traceable. So how did Ms Hall’s wallet get from the Metropolitan Line to the Jubilee Line? Is this some new sort of AI? It leapt from her pocket and walked? The bleeding obvious is just way beyond some people who are on Twatter at 2am not the neighbour’s wife.
