London has overtaken New York City for number of murders for the first time in over 200 years under the mayoralty of Labour’s Sadiq Khan.
Britain’s multicultural capital edged ahead of the American city — once so notorious for its high crime rates that it was chosen as the setting for Charles Bronson’s Death Wish –– in February, The Times reports.
London saw 15 killings to New York’s 14 over the course of the month, and appears to have outstripped ‘Gotham’ yet again in March, with 22 killings to 21.
Historically, London has had a murder rate per person between half and one-twentieth of New York’s since 1800, according to FBI data and studies by University of California researcher Eric Monkkonen.

The change is partly a consequence of Mayor Khan’s campaign against using stop and search on ethnic minorities, with London police chief Cressida Dick admitting that constables have become “fearful” of confronting suspects as they “might get into trouble or might not be supported if they had a complaint”.
Reported rapes are running three times higher in London than in NYC https://t.co/oc60cWbDAZ

Figures released last year showed London was already the more dangerous of the two cities for almost every other category of violent and sexual crime, with Londoners six times more likely to be burgled than New Yorkers, three times more likely to be raped, and one and a half times more likely to be robbed.
The numbers fly in the face of Mayor Khan’s claim that London is “the safest global city in the world, and one of the safest cities in the world” in 2017.
This assertion already appeared highly questionable after a spate of radical Islamic terror attacks and an admission that hundreds of Islamic State volunteers have returned to the capital and are not being monitored, alongside disturbing developments such as the city being crowned “acid attack capital of the world” following an epidemic of assaults using corrosive substances.
Neither Khan nor politically correct London police boss Cressida Dick — who recently appeared to deny any racial or religious element to grooming gangs and claimed they have “probably” been in Britain for “centuries and centuries and centuries” — seem willing to consider the contribution of mass migration and the accompanying breakdown in social cohesion to the crime wave, with Dick blaming the rising violence on “social media”.
London and New York City are roughly equal in terms of population and police numbers, making budget cuts an unsatisfactory explanation for the situation.
The direct result of rule by savages. So will they be stupid enough to vote him in again?
I guess it’s getting a bit harder to argue that it is the guns any more. Not that it matters to (((them))). (((They))) will continue to contend that taking guns away from people is the only sure way to protect the citizens from violence. It worked in London. It worked in NYC. And it worked in Russia, where they took the guns away. Of course that last one was just the jews taking the guns away. Now it’s the muslims. That’s like totally different don’t ya know.
Russians are allowed to own guns now. They have restrictions and paperwork, including a psychological test.
Watch Survival Russia to find out what is required.
Some people are most fluent, even eloquent, in Luciferianese, the language of lies. Most of the rulers of the UK have contempt for the history and subjects of that land.
Hmmmm, where have I seen him before? Oh yea, now I remember.
Don’t forget, Londonistan is way ahead of us in acid-in-the-face attacks.
London and England have been gone for a long time and it are headed to civil war before its all over. Political correctness has destroyed it and it may never come back unless all those who demand their “way” leave or change their way to that of the rest of the nation…..
The royals are a distraction….
What amazes me is that I argued over 20 years ago that mass immigration from the world’s hellholes would turn western nations into third-world countries.
A Police Chief named Dick?? Or is that just what they call him?
