Appears is the operative word!
Provide evidence to back up your claim, not just innuendo?
Appears is the operative word!
Clearly it bothers you that I'm not a fan of Khan and I can waste hours rebutting it all to get the last word in, but as I've come to realise, you'll just ignore the bits you don't like or don't fit your world view, and complain about something else. I am happy to agree to disagree, as I always have been.Provide evidence to back up your claim, not just innuendo?

For example, how did Cross Rail run to time and budget under Boris Johnson, but overrun on those items when Khan came to office?
Your move.
Hostile Environment: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-43835664Lovely, you talking about missing the bits you don't like and complain about something else, especially as you did it in this comment!
You made a major insinuation about Khan and the VRC so it is up to you to provide evidence especially as I have provided links to evidence that your claims were wrong ("hostile environment" and your claims Labour started it, Khan doing nothing about Knife crime etc).
I fully expect the Minister to repeat a point she made to me in a Written Parliamentary Question: that the term “hostile environment” originated during Alan Johnson’s tenure as Home Secretary. Maybe it did, maybe it did not, but the really important point is what that term came to mean when it was elevated to become a policy that had to be delivered with the careful precision that Mrs May has made her trademark
Key elements of the compliant environment policy were put in place by the Opposition when in office, and it was during that time that the policy was described by Ministers as a hostile environment against illegal immigration. I am happy to answer the question from the noble Lord, Lord Parekh: that is when it started. I am happy to confirm to the noble Lord, Lord Bassam, that Alan Johnson used the term “hostile environment” and that the term was used by the Immigration Minister Phil Woolas in 2010 in his strategy paper on immigration, following a similar strategy paper in 2005. So the term has been used, and noble Lords have made the point that we can all go back and blame various different people for it, but the current Home Secretary has made clear that it is a term that he does not want to use and that the term “compliant environment” better reflects our values as a country, ensuring that fair rules are properly upheld
Thing is, you make insinuations about Trump or whatever, get a factual reply and some of us let it lie for the sake of this place. I let it go about anti-semitism (when I was right), I've let other stuff go too. I mentioned hostile environment months ago, provided proof and you ignored it.Lovely, you talking about missing the bits you don't like and complain about something else, especially as you did it in this comment!

Knife crime - Khan got the stats wrong recently.
Sadiq Khan confronted with police stats but claims London safer
LONDON Mayor Sadiq Khan left GLA Tory leader Gareth Bacon astonished as he claimed London was now a "safer" place than it used to be before he took office, despite Metropolitan Police statistics pointing at staggering increased levels of crime in the capital.www.express.co.ukSadiq Khan shamed for failure to respond to London knife crime wave
SADIQ KHAN was blasted for failing to adopt new regulation to clamp down on violent crime across London and ignoring recommendations to help protect Londoners and members of the Police force.www.express.co.ukSadiq Khan's inaction on knife crime is matched only by his boundless vanity
As knife crime engulfs the capital, a grim ritual is enacted after each new atrocity.www.telegraph.co.ukSadiq Khan’s approach to tackling violent crime in London won’t work – LabourList
Recent reports that London’s homicide rate has surpassed that of New York sparked debate. Some said the high murder rate was caused by social media and…labourlist.orgLondon mayor Sadiq Khan rolls his eyes during knife crime debate
The London mayor claimed he had done 'as much as I am allowed to do under the law' to tackle the scourge of knife crime by setting up a £45million youth fund and raising council taxes.www.dailymail.co.uk
Why has Khan historically refused to part in debates on Knife Crime, takes responsibility for it, but blames the Govt?
Why has Khan refused to debate certain media outlets and only appeared when pressured?
As I said, the hostile environment started under Labour. I left no comment about afterwards. Labour were the ones that decided to destroy the Windrush landing cards in 2009. This has been a multi-party muck up. The Tories have their part to own, I don't doubt it.
Does it concern you that the VRU is led by a Labour crony on a 6 figure salary who has no experience in a critical role and has the dubious distinction of gun crime rising in Lambeth under their leadership? Does it concern you how the job spec was written and the interviews that were done? Or the salary when the Mayor is crying about no money?
Equally, the VRU has been going for nearly a year, and what have they achieved? Crime is down in London, but knife crime is up.
I don't recall seeing any Trump links, and certainly not recently. Are you thinking of the right forum? I've seen innuendo and insinuation, but nothing more than that.
I see Trump is being criticised for not killing 150 people in response to the drone being shot down. How mental is that? I'm happy he bottled it and didn't rise to the bait from Iran. For a man who it has been assumed would start World War 3, he's reluctant to do it, unlike his predecessor or election opponent.
But has no experience on knife crime whatsoever....... We are paying for Peck to learn on the job aren't we?Peck has experience in the field as Executive member for Crime and Public Protection in the London Councils organisation and has senior experience in Local Govt. A skill rather useful in dealing at that level with multiple agencies with differing aims and objectives (I again refer you back to the paragraph from NAO NHS Report I quoted earlier on partnership working)
Peck will be managing the process so that the experts from various fields can formulate the policy detail. The giveaway is the make up of the board which has members from all the partners (NHS, Education, Local Govt, Police, Local Community organisations etc).
You clearly haven't grasped the concept of time in this instance based on your answer.
Also why didn't Boris Johnson do something between 2014-2016 when knife crime was going up as the Glasgow model was running then?
I don't need to find the links as I know I did them.

I am well aware of time, short term thru medium term goals, etc. You seem obsessed with time though, but whatever tickles your fancy!
If it was that important - as you jab me for - you'd post them. So clearly they aren't.
Have a lovely afternoon!
But yeah. Knife crime.... ?
Time is essential, so nearly 18 month one from tweet in Jan 2018 I saw about the "tragedy of knife crime" the issue is getting worse - how long does the Mayor need? The crony and the Mayor, fiddling whole Rome burns. Stop using whataboutism, you (and others) complain about when I do it (irrelevant, avoiding the point, being pedantic, rude, etc) and just ignore it all, so you know the chances of me answering back. None.
I'll wait for those links too.
Ironic statement on a forum where the police are frequently criticised for overstepping their powers.If it was me they would be getting "disrupted" very, very frequently.
I don't have a clue because I disagree with you, basically. The reason I recall the tweet is I thought it was June 2019, but when double checked it wasn't. I have no obssession over it, you're obssessed with my opinions!You clearly don't have a clue. Here's a link which the info below comes from:
How Scotland stemmed the tide of knife crime - BBC News
What can London learn from Scotland's ground-breaking Violence Reduction Unit?www.bbc.co.uk
It has taken 14 years to reduce homicides from 137 to 59. And London will have greater complexity simply due to size and differing racial make up (and therefore differing levels of trust of the various Authorities). This is also against the backdrop of austerity cutting available resources of the partner organisations.
Boris Johnson is directly relevant as he was in charge before Khan and Knife crime starting rising under him, starting in 2014. So why didn't Johnson do anything?
Anyway I'll leave you to your obsession with a tweet from Jan 2018 and failing to understand the complexity of the problem. ?

And if Boris is a bad leader for knife crime (and a bad potential PM as so many say), what does it make Khan? I'll let you ponder that one. What about that!
