London Mayor Siddiq Khan is threatening to cut the Metropolitan Police Force by 4000 officers in the face of the city’s ‘severe terror threat.’
Khan is, once again, playing with politics as he criticised the government’s £400 million funding cut by warning he would have no choice other than to make redundancies within the police service.
He could, of course, find this money by slashing Muslim community integration programmes and migrant welfare but would prefer, instead, Londoners to be unsafe and vulnerable whilst blaming somebody else (The Government)
The Muslim mayor wrote a letter to Amber Rudd, saying: ‘Without urgent government action, it is inevitable that in the next year a process of significant and sustained reduction in officer head count will have to begin. This will impact on the safety of Londoners. The front line is now at risk.’
This is not so much an observation by Khan, nor an implication. This is clearly a threat and demonstrates how little suited the man is to represent ALL Londoners.
The London police force should be strengthened at a time when citizens live under a ‘severe threat’ of Islamic Terror.
If there is another significant attack on Londoners, and lives are lost as a result of an underfunded police force, then Khan will shamelessly blame government cuts.
However, it is HIS job to balance the books AND keep Londoner’s safe.
Until he is thrown out of City Hall that responsibility remains his.
