Well, that really worked didn't it? Just let them roam free stabbing and shooting. As for 'Police tool'? The only tool is the one pictured...

Sad Dick Khan is the worst Mayor of London I can remember. Even Red Ken with his Jew problems was better and he was a muppet. The more I listen to him on TV the more I can see why we have these problems.

Obviously Khan is a popular target, but It was Theresa May that reduced stop-and-search nationally and Theresa May that cut police numbers nationally. Oh, and whilst Khan is 'responsible' for policing in London, central government controls its funding. Khan hasn't covered himself in glory, but May - the worst Home Secretary in living memory and now the worst PM - is much more culpable.

Knife crime (and violent crime in general) is worse per capita in the West Midlands than it is in London. Is that Khan's fault?

Some people only read and hear what they want to stroller. Ellers is just a WUM. If someone dare question him, its straight on ignore which sums him and his intake of news/propaganda up perfectly. He actually isn't worth ignoring and in my opinion sums up what is wrong with this country. A silly old man, set in his ways, living in the past who hates foreigners. Khan is a tit but May is the worst PM in my lifetime and this is the worst government in my lifetime.

Just think of the amount of funding we could have given to services in comparison to Graylings cock ups. This is what I meant about Abbott and her tv/radio flunks. They didnt effect us but the abuse she got was overwhelming. Grayling costs the taxpayer millions and gets little to nothing. Some need to take their Tory blinkers off or at least have the balls to join their far right posse of farage and co. But alas what happens when the Tories **** up or it's going against them.......attack Corbyn to defer any attention. It's become the most predictable tactic in Tory history.
 
Do you ever properly read the posts you respond to? I'm not a Khan apologist (as you would know if you had), but I think the blame should be put where it belongs - Theresa May.

Tory tosser alert!
Stop being a muppet by calling me a tosser. Stick to the debate without getting personal.
Yes I read your post and the underlining message was "it's not Khans fault it's May and the Tories". You must be blind Stroller because you cant see the obvious in front of you. Stick to the debate without all the insults.

How dare you call me a muppet!

As always you only read or hear what suits you. What about the West Midlands? It's a national problem, and national government must be held responsible.

You did this before Stroller. When you don't like a response you get nasty and start insulting. I would never call you or anyone else on this board a tosser. sort it out!

If you find tosser insulting, you should get out more, you muppet.

Why don't you address my point about it being a national problem, you sensitive soul?

All I am saying is keep the insults to yourself. You are getting as bad as 1or 2 of the others.
If you think that I am crap at adressing your point just say without all the insults. I can see why a this thread is losing posters. You don't like a point you start insulting the poster. I give up. <doh>

You didn't make a point though, did you? You posted a pathetic 'Khan apologist alert'. I believe that was worthy of my response.

Do you wish to respond to the points I have made, or am I just another 'muppet' that you feel deserves to be put on ignore because you don't like what I have to say?

This isn't a new problem, the same was being said at the beginning of last year yet here we are a year later and there is no strategy from either Khan or the Met. He blames the cuts and the Government blame him, a convenient excuse for both whilst London takes the brunt of it.

This made interesting reading on Khan's budget black hole...

It's a national problem, Sooper. The violent crime stats for the West Midlands are worse per capita than those for London. Criticise Khan all you like, but it's May that should take the blame.

Why would I put you on ignore? I only put the WUM and weirdos on ignore. I have said many times before I think you are a fab poster (even though I don't agree with half of what you say). All I was saying was cut out the insults.
My response to your post was with clocks and flashing emojis. It wasn't a personal insult in anyway and you know that. I come on here for a bit of fun Stroller but sadly this thread has turned quite nasty of late. It's a shame because in the end people won't bother to post on it.

****ing hell Ellers, you wouldn’t last 5 mins on a night out with my lot.
If ‘tosser’ insults you, wait till you’ve been called a ****, a **** and a ****er 15 times......you’d blow a fuse mate :)
