19 August - Death by ice-cream

Mayor Sadiq Khan on LBC radioFrom time to time I am asked why I am so critical of Mayor Sadiq Khan but to my mind it is self-evident that he is an utterly useless politician and I despise everything he does and stands for.

It has been tempting to go further and suggest Khan is not just the worst the political classes has ever offered for election but among the worst of humanity; but then I remember Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot and Vladimir Putin. Khan doesn’t directly kill people but cannot be very concerned by those who do.

He clearly has given the subject no serious thought whatsoever.

His pronouncement on LBC Radio yesterday that the recent spate of murders in London is due to school children being on holiday and the Summer being a good one indicates a total inability to think beyond the next convenient sound bite.

Over the past four or five days under Khan’s watch there have been four brutal murders in London. Aziza Bennis was knifed more than 30 times in Acton and her 21 year old daughter has been charged with the murder. Sonny Booty was murdered in Lewisham and a 53 year old man has been charged. 60 year old Stephen Goodman was murdered in Dagenham and a 23 year old has been in Court.

In Greenford Thomas O’Halloran was murdered in his mobility scooter and a 44 year old man will appear at the Old Bailey next Tuesday.

But Khan is blaming school kids and in this hot weather a surfeit of ice-cream is well known to cause decent law-abiding citizens to pick up a knife and lash out in a frenzy of hatred.

Note: There were six murders in London this week but as yet two are unsolved with no one arrested.
