Maybe the Mayor might want to look at his budget which has increased significantly under his watch. What is he spending it on and could it be spent better on policing.

The mayor of London has no money. TfL have a massive shortfall in their finances due to crossrail, reduced fare income, and the loss of a £700M central government grant. There's nothing more to move into policing.

Mayor Khan was aware of this before he was elected and was told that fares would have to rise he ignored the advice so has to take some (not all) responsibility for funding issues. Then there is the huge increase in staff costs at the Mayor's office which he is responsible for.

Paid for by the taxpayer or profit from crime.

well at least lack of police is felt everywhere even in the rich areas, maybe if the toffs get ruffed up their Tory friends might wake up and notice the anarchy on the streets they have presided over

You continually betray your hatred of people who have got more than you.

Get over it. You will be happier.

Bring back National Service...2 years compulsory

All 16 -18 year olds..that will knock the shyte out of them.
Make them respect which they all seem to crave.
Give them some self respect as well.
Teach them right from wrong.

I could carry on and on with how good this would be.

You want to give them guns as well?

There is a stat claiming 90% of young people in custody have been excluded from school. Do schools have any alternative? It must be very difficult for teachers trying to deal with a class full of kids who speak different languages without having to cope with juvenile gangsters as well.
Don’t know that exclusion existed in my school days but I suspect my mum would have severely injured me if it had happened. Besides I didn’t have a budding crime empire to occupy my time.

If they want them now,they could get them.

I'm talking about discipline,respect to themselves and to others

I like the principle but the human rights lot would have a field day it would be like Vietnam too many exceptions e.g. Bill Clinton.

My suggestion would be 6 months in a military style program but no weapons, a sort of a compulsory boy scouts. That way the various faiths could not object as you are not training people to kill. Apart from discipline I would teach them life skills and have them working on community projects e.g. pick up litter, paint the church hall etc. Above all I would make it fun so that as each lot passed through they told their younger friends about the good times.

I worked with a guy who also had to serve in the Swiss Army he loved it and made lots of friends. The reason refusal to serve was so low was:
a) It was fun
b) Employers took note of your National Service career and this had a big impact on your work career. My colleague was a VP in the bank and a Major in the Swiss army he couldn't have been one without the other.

Ideally this 6 month service would be seen as a rite of passage and to be looked forward to.

I doubt the army has sufficient personnel to cope with a large intake. Military prisons on the other hand might provide a salutary lesson.
