Breitbart London: London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s response to the knife crime epidemic overtaking his city has been to issue metal-detecting ‘knife wands’ to schools — but City Hall is not tracking how many times they are being used, or how many knives are being confiscated, if any.
Seventy-six schools across the capital are already using the wands, under what City Hall described as “Sadiq’s robust and comprehensive knife crime strategy”, and is “urging” more to take up his offer to provide them.
Breitbart London asked the mayor of London’s office how long the initiative had been planned, and whether it was a response the Mayor’s Office for Policing And Crime (MOPAC) figures, as well as where it has already been rolled out, how effective it has been in driving down knife crime, and how much it is expected to cost.
Mayor Khan’s office was also asked if he had any comment on the MOPAC figures, or on London’s rising crime rates more generally.
But the response Breitbart London received was evasive. The planning timeline was not disclosed, and information on how many times a school uses a wand or how many knives they actually capture is not being compiled.
Costs of £20,000 over two years (financial year 2017/18 and 2018/19, £10,000 each year) on a total of 300 wands (150 each year) were revealed — making the lack of tracking all the more remarkable. read more
So, this really has to be pointed out to the people in UK? Knives don’t kill people, Allah monkeys screaming Al-a-who-ack-bar while wielding knives murder people.
They would get more net positive results by banning the Koran and expelling the fire breathing imams.

Note that the law as stated was passed in 2006. So I guess it isn’t working very well.
It’s insane that once reasonable people are allowing politicians to destroy their country and culture.
I vote for banning Sadiq Khan. Give him a pipe and point him toward the ocean. There goes 76% of the problem. ….Lady in Red
The mayor is part of the problem. Just like Obama, he is a Moslem and will aid and abet his fellow Muzzies, to the detriment of London’s future.
That is his first priority. Then, with taqiyya, will deny that this is his actual goal.
Any ban on crossbows?
Yeah, you can change the spelling but it’s still a con.
Sadiq is more concerned with dirty muslim feet…
“London’s mayor Sadiq Khan wants to roll out a new network of water fountains and bottle-refill stations across the capital to help reduce the use of single-use packaging, such as plastic water bottles, the Guardian has learned.”

Did Britain have a knife problem before they admitted hordes of knife-wielding savages into their Homeland?
I forget…..
