That’s my own OVERVIEW of London & the crimes committed in just the past two weeks & the types of crimes that terrify both the public & victims; Many of public NEVER see a police officer; Many victims won’t get police attendance unless it’s the one of the serious crimes that I’ve highlighted above in the first few paragraphs as most victims feel that they are no more than just a crime number; SO? Is London Lawless? is it Unsafe? Not every single area but too many areas! Who am I to give such an opinion & such an overview? Someone who has policed London for 31yrs is Britains lead Knife Campaigner an Independent spokesperson on policing (for 37yrs) & a Lead law & Order Campaigner & First Serving Police EVER to break from the ranks & WARN Britain what was coming to our streets! Wrote several times to the Queen attended No 10 Downing St with a Dozen families both Black & White bereaved by Knife Murders & Written to every MP when a serving officer of my concerns on crime & lawlessness! Plus for 37yrs I’ve undertaken 10,000 - 13,000 Media I/v’s across every section of London & National media outlets & advise public on the law; MY OPINION👇 LONDON IS A LAWLESS & UNSAFE PLACE🤷‍♂️
