London Stabbing epidemic

nefarius

There have been many post regarding London stabbings. In fact quite a remarkable number.

I would like to offer my reasoning behind it. It is historic mal treatment of the Windrush Generation who were "imported" as cheap labour.

As you can see by the graph a disproportionate number of offenders are connected to the Windrush Generation. They are also more likely to be victims.

I, for one, am ashamed this situation has arisen.

As one can see, a corellation between Brexit and knife stabbings.

Cressida Dick made one of the few intelligent contributions by pointing out that much of the apparently random violence isn’t random at all: It’s the consequence of the war to supply middle-class parties with drugs.

But even if we could reduce the demand, it will take time, and these children don’t have time. They are in mortal danger now.

So there you have it, the Ugly truth behind knife crime epidemic in London - good old fashioned cheap labour and racism. Others will paint round it with excuses like its Sadiq Khan's fault. Again, more racism.

As you can see, from Britain's biggest selling newspaper, most victims are connected to the Windrush Generation.

It parallels with prisons populations, in NZ. The majority of inmates are indigenous Maori even though they are a minority people.

Since the invasion of their country, by the British, they never truly amalgamated. There is inherent racism, also, from the right. A colonial disaster.

Silence speaks volumes.

Are you suggesting that because of the circumstances by which their families arrived in the UK or that they're more likely to stopped or arrested that in some way justifies the disproportional "two thirds" figure?

In my opinion the facts are clear, there is no excuse whatsoever...

I couldn't care less what someone's background is, whether it be cultural, socio-economic... You do not carry a knife and stab people with it - there is no justification.
