They are going to need a new poster. Violent crime is rising sharply in London these days. That mayor is just doing a great job.

Quote:A man in his twenties was stabbed to death next to an anti-knife crime poster in London, becoming the subject of the capital’s 101st murder investigation this year.

Police and paramedics were scrambled to Creek Road in Deptford, south east London just before midnight on Saturday.

They found a young man with stab wounds next to an anti-knife campaign poster on the side of a bus stop.

The victim, believed to be 22, was taken to a hospital in south London but he was pronounced dead at 12.40am.

His death comes just days after police announced their 100th murder probe in the capital this year after Carole Harrison, 73, was found dead at home in Teddington, south west London.

The most recent victim is believed to be the 96th person to be murdered in London so far this year.

Although 101 investigations have been announced this year, it does not mean there have been that many murders.
