Katie Hopkins drags the USA President into London Killings

At least the Mayor , so far
is ignoring this tweet war

[Denver]

I do agree that Khan is terrible and is allowing it to happen without intervening

[Liam-]

I don’t understand what people want Khan to do, it’s not his fault that people are getting stabbed

[Liam-]

And it’s no surprise that Trump is paying attention to the British Laura Ingraham

[Liam-]

Also, not surprised, but still disgusted that ‘Londonistan’ is actually being used to describe London, would that be a thing if the Mayor wasn’t Asian? Most definitely not, appalling

It's the fact he has done nothing at all

But what is he supposed to do? People always say he’s doing nothing to stop it, but there are never any suggestions of what he should do, what can he personally do, to stop people getting stabbed?

I was being sarcastic :fan:

Yet, entirely truthful.

Obama tried, but he got blocked at every opportunity by the republicans and the lobbyists, i’ll give it to Donald, good on him for getting bumpstocks banned, but they’re only a minuscule part of the overall problem.

Complaining about a past administration does nothing to fix the problems of the current one.

Also blaming Khan for the violence in London is shortsighted and transparent. There's only so much a person can do, police budgets have been cut across the board so you can't have more of a police presence if you want it and it's not like Khan can change the law to make these crimes come with harsher sentences either.

Everything a mayor can do is limited by budget constraints which are decided by the government.

Hopkins' comment about 'Londonistan' is nothing short of racist.

With his budget? Green Khantern is more likely

Hopkins' comment about 'Londonistan' is nothing short of racist.

Me and Mrs TS were discussing this earlier: NO IDEA how she manages to continue to have a platform with that sort of quite blatant hate speech. These social media platforms are an utter sociological disaster in my opinion and something HAS to change in their T&C's.

[user104658]

I also think Trump is (as usual) confused about the entire situation and how it works. As far as I understand it, City Mayors in large US cities have FAR more power / authority than is the case here. He's assessing Khan as though he has the executive power of a US city mayor, which does include quite a bit of sway with things like by-laws and policing, when that just is not the case with the Mayor of London.

The problem is banning guns and knives wont solve the problem it's the mindsets if the youth that has to change

Trump has no idea how things work, I for one, am shocked

Somewhat more worrying is that I'm entirely sure that Katie Hopkins DOES know fine well how it works, yet she chooses to deliberately and disingenuously lump the blame for crime in London on Khan because of his name and skin colour, as that benefits her "immigrants bad" narrative.

Like they could afford all that CGI!

It's CW's Arrow or nothing.

[bots]

It's just another case of Trump blindly believing the extreme right wing. Trump doesn't care, he just wants to pander to his base with an election coming up, and this does the job. There really isn't anything deeper in it than that.

[Marsh.]

He finds five stabbings a disaster?

What's he doing about the hundreds of shootings on his own soil? Hypocrite.

All of those City Mayors are Democrats; The Democrat party needs better members, ASAP!

Yeah I know what you mean, I don't really know what the solution is here or what people are expecting him to do to make it stop. London is a big city and there's always gonna be crime... maybe it has risen but it's not because of Khan

[Vicky.]

I don't realy see what Khan could do, given police budgets are being continually cut.

[bots]

he may not be in charge of the police budget, but he can definitely influence policing policy. I remember Boris ordered up a water cannon in his time, so Khan does have to take some responsibility.

[Vicky.]

I cannot see a water cannon being effective for random stabbings rather than..dare I say 'crowd control' :laugh:

Like, without randomly stopping and searching loads and loads of people, I really don't see how this could possibly be tackled? And stop and search has problems of its own, and certainly would not catch them all either.

it was more an example of the mayor having the finances to tackle issues as they arise :laugh:

A water cannon that was advised against, never used then sold as scrap for small fraction of what it cost

i know, but the fact remains ... Khan isn't just a figurehead, he is responsible for more than people in this thread attribute to him

They've been in power for 9 years. What have they done, apart from cutting police numbers?!

Jeremy hunt **** by name, **** by nature

[bots]

What evidence is there available that Khan has been proactive in trying to sort out London's violence issues. Everyone seems to be shouting down anyone that speaks out against him, but what possible basis do people have for doing that?

[Beso]

They could make prison an actual deterrent for these little ****ers.

[joeysteele]

A waste of money water cannon that could never he used.
Good move that one.
I think not.

There's been several more cuts made since those times too.

Jump in without thinking Trump, seems to think our Mayors are as powerful as elected State mayor's in the USA.
Which isn't the case.

Khan has said more resources are needed, the Police and he are working together continuously on this growing problem.
Not only in London either is it a problem.

I'm not keen on Khan but he is limited as to resources or even powers.
The Government should be there right in the mix sorting this out, with both the Mayor and the police.

As for Katie Hopkins, it is time that hate filled bigot just crawled away and spout her hate speech in more private settings.
Why any media still give that rotten minded Woman space publicly amazes me.

We may have a selected list of devolved powers across the UK.
Mayors in place too.
However the elected government is STILL the UK government overall and it needs to be involved to bring in more resources and powers re-new laws if necessary, to help combat this awful rise of knife crime.
As well as the terrorists threat remaining too.

Quite frankly though, this USA President should be politely told, if it's possible, to really butt out and not inflame tensions in our politics or cities.

i dont recall you saying that when Obama came over to campaign for remain?

I guess its because you liked him...

That's a disgraceful headline that any serving Foreign secretary should be ashamed to have accredited to them.

Unacceptable 100%.

You can guess all you want LT, I don't care a jot what you think of me.
In fact I long ago chose to avoid you at all costs.

I don't recall welcoming him either.
However I'll qualify.
Even though it's a waste of time with you.

We were voting on staying of leaving the EU.
The USA would then be a major player as to new and needed trading deals.
So we needed to hear the likelihood of any deals.

That's a policy issue not a personal one.

This President is helping fuel hate against an elected individual in our Country.
Obama never did that.

You can guess all you like, usually as ever wrong on myself,
However here's a guess of my own, just as if this was Farage as London Mayor, with this President getting at him.
I'll now guess your line would be a possible different one.

A world of a difference in the scenarios.
Obama, the EU referendum and trade.

To a major World leader joining in with fuelling more hate filled rhetoric in another Nation.
Where hate filled speech needs to be discouraged not heightened publicly.
