No One In The UK,

can deny that knife crime, especially in London,

is on the rise, still do not worry as the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan commented on knife crime the solution was going to take “some time.” and further commented, “To really make significant progress can take up to 10 years, a generation,” he said, that was last November, planet earth to Sadiq Khan, so far this year the crime wave of deaths and stabbings has increased, or is this increase a part of your cunning plan? I thought not, no plan at all! so here is one of mine, many years ago in the 1970s and '80s, New York City was a very different place, gangs terrorized the streets, and even more so, the subway trains, violent crime could be anywhere, and people traveled in fear, in stepped, Curtis Sliwa and organized the Guardian Angels, the Guardian Angels put themselves in places where the police wouldn’t go and put their lives on the line in a way most people wouldn’t, which is where the organisation ran into its fair share of controversy over the years, for most New Yorkers however, those red jackets and berets were a very welcome sight, and still are, today, the Guardian Angels have chapters in many other cities, and the New York contingent is made up of original members and the generations that followed, you can read the history of the group, and what they're up to today at Messy Nessy Chic. much of the above taken from the article, so what to do? wait and see if Sadiq Khan is right and in 10 years the problem will go away or start a London chapter of the Guardian Angels? well I know which will have my vote and it will not be for Sadiq Khan in the next election! on a serious note my sincere condolences to the victims and families of this heinous trend, but do have you any better idea of what else to do, other than apparently do not a lot and just wait?
