Rejected petition Flood London with police to halt the shocking rise in knife crime.

The increasing numbers of murders and assaults in London is unacceptable. We need a far greater police presence, and the police need to be given all the tools they need to fight this crimewave. London needs to return to the mainly peaceful, go-to, famous city it once was.

More details

Residents of London are becoming, not just afraid, but embarrassed by their city. We no longer offer safety to our visitors, nor to ourselves.
