Chit Chat
Data obtained by the BBC shows a jump from 827 offences in 2012 to more than 23,000 last year.
Police insisted they had not lost control of moped crime but "there was more work to do".
During the period covered by the figures, more than 40% of such offences happened in just two boroughs.
A Met Police superintendent said the surge in Camden and Islington was "disappointing", (
) but new measures were helping to reduce offending.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-44045128
Once again I'll say it. Get the army in. Sort it out.

Khan(t) is ACTUALLY preventing us from bombs... 'The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, says he wants to tackle the "ticking time bomb" of child obesity in the capital.' |

Apart from sewing up peoples mouths, none of what little Khan does will do anything to combat obesity.
He's simply trying to divert attention away from the issues that he could do something about if the will was there. |

Im going to start a business selling 3/4 seater scooters, i have seen the market for it. They will also have the added extras of holding up to 4 bottles, for people that like to drink a lot of water, also places for 4 lump hammers.
I can really see this business evolving, in the future it may have holders for an AK-47 or a shotgun. Time for me to present this opportunity on dragons den.  |

I'd vote for the equivalent of a Hitler or Mussolini if they promised to rid this country of the criminal element that has mushroomed out of control. The liberal luvvies that have insidiously infiltrated our great institutions need to be swept away before they do anymore damage with their constant bleatings about 'human rights' and concern for the scum violators rather than the victims. For a start the police need to be given proper powers to stop and search,tap telephones,go after moped drivers etc.Who cares a jot if a moped rider bag snatcher is killed because he's not wearing a helmet.
Eradicate the scum and this country would be a great place in which to live. |

Caught up with my local MP yesterday amongst issues I raised, one was moped crime. As stated on another post the decision not to chase them if not wearing a helmet is a police decision, not the Home Secretary.Stopping Stop and search was however a Home office directive
|
|
By:
Does anyone think the police institution is ACTUALLY REALLY interested in protecting individuals' rights to go around unmolested by so many scum elements - at least I know of three distinct groups the police tread very carefully around when anything goes down. The directions from the top clearly point to a new type of racism.

I have said time and again that labels like liberal lovies, lefties, muslim apologists etc etc are out there to keep the sheep busy.
The moped issue is actually about a law that holds police personnel responsible(after due investigation) for injuries to suspects during chase. This was an existing law. it wasn't created by liberal lovies who just infiltrated the police force. The argument is, that this law should be scrapped so that police officers can actually catch a criminal instead of worrying about their own job. Two weeks ago, the govt did present proposals to change this law. And to make it absolutely clear in the law that during a chase, the criminal will himself be responsible for injuries. Of course that didn't make it to this thread, because there weren't any labels to be passed around. But until this moment, no one even bothered to ask the lawmakers how they were progressing because assuming that all of them are liberal luvvies is much more fun than inquiring what their progress is. I am not denying that there are serious issues in England related to PC and stuff. But when you start assigning each of these issue a label and then keep beating the label, you are actually helping the very people who aren't doing their job. For a start the police need to be given proper powers to stop and search,tap telephones,go after moped drivers etc This is a typical example of you giving the police too many powers for an issue that can simply be solved by a small adjustment in law. it is a different matter altogether that the purpose of most of the issues in England today is to convince you that you need to give the govt more power. |

By:
detraveller the existing law that you say has been in place for many years that holds police responsible for injuries to suspects during a chase does not exist (in that sense, of course the police are accountable if they hit someone over the head)
That is why they were able to chase moped crime in the very recent past but seemingly not now, why not? could it be those liberal leftist luvvies again, the ones you don't seem to think exist? I don't know. |

Here's something to at least get you away from the liberal luvvies punching bag and more closer to the law im talking about.
Under current law, the same legal test for careless and dangerous driving offences is applied to police and the general public. This is in contrast to the laws where the police don't need to care about red lights, traffic signs etc etc when in pursuit. As i mentioned, govt has already proposed changes. And anyone who wants to know more can direct his frustrations there, instead of just punching the liberal luvvies label. That was the point. |

By:
I am afraid detraveller that law is neither here nor there , that has always been the case I should imagine forever
But that has nothing to do with pursuing criminals on mopeds now has it Or if it does why were the police able to do so until very recently and back into the many years before that ? Now what has changed in these last few years , if no law has changed Take your time and don’t come back with some more irrelevent nonsense |

I think it's Hilarious tbh
I'd rather watch moped crime than any garbage on Tv (unless Lucy Zara is on one of them 900 channels it's a toss up) The immigrants will be arriving on them through the Tunnel soon in armies Four to a bike with a kid in the sandwich box |

Also, I hope you have realized by now that we are not talking about police hitting anyone. In fact, the topic of discussion doesn't even involve contact between the police and the criminal.

Maybe the Mopeds got faster with better fuel consumption or the gangs now attach rocket propelled grenade launchers on the sides  |
