Mayor Sadiq Khan has dismissed the city's serious crime problems as a "mirage" while repeatedly blaming "far right" voices for spreading disinformation.
Khan claimed much of the panic over knife crime and violence against women comes from "far right" sources with Russia, China, Trump and MAGA backers pushing out "distortions and untruths."
He says London is safer than U.S. cities, and accuses critics of resenting the city's "diversity and success."
This comes as people in London deal with skyrocketing crime during much of Khan's tenure (since 2016)

Khan has repeatedly downplayed "grooming gangs" (organized groups, of Pakistani M*slims, targeting vulnerable British girls with gifts, drugs, alcohol, then r*ping and trafficking them).
Investigations exposed cases of girls r*ped by groups of men in hotels/cars, by Pakistani-linked networks.
Met Police reopened 9,000 historic child sexual exploitation cases after being criticized for their denial.
