Over the last two years under Sadiq Khan’s leadership, violent crime on London’s tube network has surged by 75%, according to official figures from the British Transport Police. The Mail has the story.
Data compiled by the British Transport Police recorded 3,542 incidents on the underground in the 12 months to last November, compared to 2,029 two years ago.
As many as 909 sexual offences, excluding rape, were reported between December 1st and November 30th, 2023, compared to 866 in the previous 12 months.
The number of robberies also rose steeply to 736, up from 442.
Sarah Olney, the Liberal Democrat MP for Richmond Park, who obtained the BTP figures through a Freedom of Information request, said that “women deserve to feel safe on public transport. Yet these alarming figures risk telling a different story”.
Ms. Olney called on the Mayor and the Government to develop a strategy to tackle the rise in crime, previously a named priority for Mr. Khan.
Speaking to the rise in violent crime, the MP told the Sun on Sunday: “Violent crime is becoming a much bigger anxiety for my constituents.
“That has to do with falling numbers of police officers on the streets and not being able to get hold of them. The Government and the Mayor of London cannot stand by and let this happen.”
On Friday, it was reported the Met would cut the number of murder detectives working in London to fill in gaps elsewhere in the service amid cuts to resources. …
The number of crimes between April and September on the underground was 10,836, compared with 6,924 in the same period in 2022.
That included a rise in the number of thefts recorded from 2,935 in 2022 to 5,378 in 2023. The number of robberies soared from 164 to 340.

“Protect children from harmful internet content without overregulating the free press” – The Telegraph in a leading article says the Online Safety Bill needs to be amended to restore its original worthy purpose.
Well, isn’t that really the job of parents?
Anyway, worthy or not, that’s the ostensible purpose, not necessarily the true one.
Do people even identify as parents these days? I thought that role was being taken by teachers and other professions.
As there’s no certain way to determine who is or isn’t legally a minor online, protecting children from harmful internet content requires treating every users as child by default: Whatever the government designates as harmful to children will be have to be banned for everyone for the general case.
Meanwhile, in proper news..

Sheep people quite happy to gobble up this kind of shite whilst the world is on the brink of catastrophic numbers of vaccine deaths and disintegration of services and the economy.
Nothing to see in that respect though folks, here’s a story about someone that had Star Wars figures on her wedding cake and likes to be referred to as zie/zir.
MSM, go **** yourselves.
Seconded.
Seconded.

The government’s flagship Online Safety Bill is set to be dropped from Commons business next week with a view for it to return to the Commons “in the autumn”.
PoliticsHome understands that the Bill was removed from the government’s agenda to make space for a motion of no confidence in the governmen due to be put to the House on Monday.
What a shame, need to keep up the pressure to bin it completely. though if not brought in, the next WEF stooge will be removed until one pushes it through for the WEF
Everyone’s getting it so they need to waste money on free tests to confirm that everyone’s getting it. Genius.
It was generally accepted prior to 2019 that mass testing was useless once a virus becomes widespread because you can’t detect it fast enough, i.e. once you detect one person it’s already spread to multiple other people.
And once it’s below a certain level, mass testing means that most of your tests will be pointless.
But let’s do it anyway for a laugh.
And some are making a profit, selling useless junk.
“Is the fifth Covid wave already peaking? Virus NHS admissions and cases slow despite calls for masks and social distancing to return – as deaths creep up by just six per day.”
How on earth did I miss the first four?
