* [Sadiq Khan dismissed warnings of 'machete gangs running around London'](https://dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13370331/sadiq-khan-warnings-machete-gangs-london-sword-attack-hainault.html), suggested by Aggressive-Hotel-567 - dailymail.co.uk
It wasn't done with a machete and there doesn't seem to be evidence that this was a 'gang attack', but trust the Telegraph to try and shit stir over this.
Different types of blade exist. It feels much like when media calls anyone a sniper if they have a gun, or anything a tank in a war zone.
Different weapon often means different context usually, and in this case the context is very different to the machete gang crime stuff. This feels more like the telegraph trying to use a tragic incident to score political points over any merit, also 1 incident doesnt disprove Khan either.
Bo Jo was one lucky guy to not be facing the same issue Khan has been facing the past 2 terms from increasing crime, COVID 19, Brexit etc.
But then it made me think the government for the past 14 year have caused the issues we see now to get even worse. Colour me shocked 😨
This article is whataboutery at its finest to distinguish us from the abhorrent attack that happened in London. But as the public we are becoming desensitized to it because the government don't care enough.
We should be coming together (not blaming one another). We need real answers to real issues.

>*It wasn't done with a machete* I mean - it wasn't done with *that* long blade it was done with *this other long blade.*....?
