Sadiq Khan has problems understanding other commonly used terms to do with VAWG.
Are there 'grooming gangs' in London? Sadiq Khan accused of stonewalling Tory questions
17 Jan 2025
Susan Hall: Exactly how much clearer do you want me to be? So I asked you this question last week and you found every which way but not to answer it. Just how many grooming gangs have we got in London?
Sadiq Khan: So the situation in London in relation to young people being groomed is different to other parts of the uh country. So what we have in London is young people being groomed, to use your your words not mine, uh to to be using county lines uh in relation to uh sometimes . . .
Susan Hall: OK let me make it clear. Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. I was told I shouldn't be saying "rape gangs", they are rape gangs. I'm talking about rape gangs. I'm not talking about county lines. But to go back, nobody likes me saying "rape gangs" although they are rape gangs. Grooming gangs that I would call rape gangs. Tell me about them. How many of those have we got? Not county lines, those particular groups, to avoid any misunderstanding.
Sadiq Khan: Can she define what she means by that?
Susan Hall: Yes. If you look at what's gone on in Rotheram, where there are
people taking young girls grooming them for sex, that is what I'm talking about.
Sadiq Khan: uh well we know in London there are issues about exploitation of young people uh but they're not as defined by the member in her definition of what those types of gangs are.
Susan Hall: So are you saying we haven't got the same sort of gangs that are in Rotheram and Bradford and lots of other places in the country?
Sadiq Khan: Just understanding, what does she mean by that?
Susan Hall: You know full well what I mean by that. It's all over the television. You know exactly what I mean by that. These gangs of people that are grooming young girls for sex. Do we actually have those in London?
Sadiq Khan: In order for me to be able to give a full answer can she be clear what she means by that? I'm not clear what she means.
Susan Hall: How much clearer do you want me to be? Look at the gangs that they've uncovered in other parts of the country. Do we have those gangs in London? It's a simple question. The answer is very simple, it's Yes or No. I'm not asking you where those gangs are because the police might not want them to be disclosed. I'm asking you do we have those sort of gangs in London.
Sadiq Khan: I'm not sure why she's so nervous to say what she means. What what do you mean?
Susan Hall: No! No no no. I am saying exactly what I mean. I'm saying have we got any of those grooming gangs in London?
Sadiq Khan: I'm unclear to what is meant by the question. If she could spell it out I can answer.
Susan Hall: I've just spelled it out, are you not listening? It's the sort of gangs that groom young girls at a young age for sex. Exactly how much clearer do you want me to be?
Sadiq Khan: So we do have issues in London with young girls being groomed uh for county lines. Some of those girls are used for uh uh sex and that's one of the reasons why I've set up things like the Lighthouse funded by City Hall, why we've set up four hubs uh to help survivors of child sexual abuse while investing in London's violence exploitation support service, why I commissioned the HMI to look into the issue of child exploitation, why the police service now employs 1,200 Child Protection offices, while we have operations of (?) first begun in uh London, why we're the only police force that began the V100 targeting the 100 most violent men in London . .
Susan Hall: OK I just asked a Yes-No question. So approximately how many of these gangs that I am talking about, that I do not know why you don't understand the sort of gangs I'm I'm talking about, exactly or approximately, I should say to give you leeway, approximately how many of those gangs have we got in London? Because the public is very, very rightfully concerned
about this and concerned about these young women.
Sadiq Khan: Well I'm still on the wiser why she's so nervous about saying what she means uh but in London we have V100 which are the 100 most prolific, dangerous people that police target. That number goes up and down so one month the V100 may be 120 people or one month there may be 80 people and each BCU has a localized V number uh so when I was in Croyden a few weeks ago the V number wasn't 100 it was a bit below. But as they reminded me people can sometimes go in that list or out that list
Susan Hall: OK. Thank you. Chairman uh I was very clear on what I
was talking about. I just don't understand what it is that the mayor wants me to say that's any different. I'll leave it there thank you

Child grooming in London at 'catastrophic' levels
July 2025
Levels of child grooming in London are "more catastrophic" than anywhere else in the country, a care sector activist and abuse survivor has said.
Chris Wild said grooming and criminal exploitation are rife in the capital, and it is being missed due to poor data-sharing and underfunded services.
A review by Baroness Louise Casey into child grooming gangs across England found a "mismatch" in the way the way the Metropolitan Police and local authorities record child abuse.

Despite Khan being London Mayor and Police & Crime Commissioner for the Met, not one mention of his name in that article.
When they do that "national investigation" into who in authority obstructed identification of those rape gangs aka grooming gangs that SK pretends never to have heard of I hope they hang that little weasel out to dry!!
Who is "one of those vulnerable communities across the country and across the world" Sadiq? Who is it? It's little children being groomed and gang raped - not the likes of convicted torturer Alan Sarah Jane "If you see a TERF punch 'em in the fuckin' face" Baker.
