Taking a page from the Hillary Clinton Benghazi-was-caused-by-an-internet-video lying strategy, the Islamic London mayor Sadiq Khan spews his delusional and/or misleading propaganda re the rampant knife attacks taking place in London. I'll just copy David Codrea's words (

Now search the story for "Islam," "Muslim," "refugee," "immigrant"...
Sorry -- being a kneejerk hater, it looks like I was barking up the wrong tree. Khan says the violence is attributable to YouTube videos.
LONDON'S MUSLIM MAYOR'S SOLUTION TO KNIFE CRIMES: TAKE DOWN VIDEOS'Social media platforms must toughen their guidelines'
http://www.wnd.com/2017/08/london-mayors-solution-to-knife-crimes-take-down-videos/“Social media and the Internet can be used to inflame tensions and escalate violence quicker than ever before, and these videos are a shocking example of the glamorization of gang culture,” Khan warned earlier this week.
But are gangs the only reason for the surge in violence? Statistics say no.
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe spoke at a knife-crime conference in London recently on the reality of the violence.

According to a “man on the street,” Wayne, 25, a former gang member, the true cause is the recent influx of migrants from Somalia and the Congo, the Weekly Standard reports.
“In the last 10 years, since the Somalis and the Congolese came to London, they taught us a whole new level of violence,” Wayne said in an interview.

And don't miss the London bureaucrat's answer to the wave of acid attacks (of course I'm sure the "stop and search" policy will be implemented with strict enforcement of a "no profiling" standard, so just like at the airports with "random searches", little old ladies will be equally likely to be stopped and searched as the under-25 male immigrant wearing gang apparel):
