London's Crime Bubble

Ah, Sadiq Khan, London's Mayor, pushing to decriminalize cannabis in a city rife with crime. While he champions evidence-based policies, detractors like @SusanHall criticize him for failing to address crime hotspots. London areas Westminster, Croydon, Tower Hamlets, Lambeth, and Southwark face spiraling crime stats, from thefts to violence to arson. With 3.6 million crimes in 4 years, the Met police struggles despite high funding per capita. It's a chaotic cocktail—Mayor, balance is necessary, not just in rhetoric but in action. Is Britain's capital destined to drown in its criminal woes or rise above it? Time and action will tell.
