After earlier this week Mr. Piers Morgan, the TV presenter, and interviewer expressed his criticism of London Mayor Sadiq Khan for refusing to accept television interviews where the 2018 crime spree that has London in its hold for months now could be discussed, the Conservative government members have now joined that call. The Tory member of Parliament who chairs London, Mr. Paul Scully claimed that London Mayor “Sadiq Khan needs to take action on violent crime for the safety of Londoners.”

“As the Mayor of London he has a direct responsibility – and the powers – to tackle violent crime in our city, and shifting the blame will not save the lives that are tragically being lost on the capital’s streets.”
So far, there have been 62 murders in London this year (39 stabbings and 10 with guns). The first quarter of the year alone saw 45 murders, or a doubling compared to 2017.

However, the Mayor of London continues to deflect responsibility, and now even claims that without his leadership, things would be much worse.
Mr. Khan stated: “I don’t think we have done anything wrong in London. ‘Nor do I think, by the way, the police and crime commissioners across the country have done much wrong.”

“I think things would be worse if we didn’t invest the new money we invested in this year and last year. We should not think that it’s OK for there just to be one stabbing rather than three.”

“We have got to make sure we stop young people thinking it’s OK to carry a knife, or that that gives them a sense of belonging or respect. That means investing in young people. I’m determined to do what I can to invest in prevention and also in enforcement.”
The latest project his London government announced this week was a ban on junk food adverts on public transport to tackle child obesity.
