[Supercilious Sid]

It really is a simple as that

Why didn't anyone think of it before?

Good luck with that !

I suppose you can promise anything if there is no chance you will ever have to come good on said promises.

Thick as 7 short planks.

But which is worse - the people that spout this obvious crap, or the ones that actually believe it?

[s1962a]

rival gangs will probably go for each other at the new yoof clubs. She hasn't thought this through.

Legalising weed would probably have a greater effect

Clearly unachievable but if you're going to set a target for murders what number do you pick other than zero?

Any number you give someone's going to say you're saying that it's acceptable for that many people to be killed.

If she wins I'm going to invest in a ping pong table manufacturer.

Exactly its a target. Same as health and safety targets, aim for zero bit in reality you know will still get some.

Did you know in the US a Police Department had to apologise after using the siren from "The Purge" as their Covid curfew siren

Supercilious?
Haughty disdain?

Not a SMART target then?

So it's ok for those outside London to be murdered? How far outside the M25 will the no-murder zone extend & will this have any effect on house prices?

Bet she’s going to end cancer, heart disease and wasps at picnics.

How would the Mayor of London go about doing this, exactly?

Legalisation and decriminalisation of drugs is Green Party policy, FYI.
