On 15 July 2007, at the RISE Anti-Racist Festival in London, Ken Livingstone said this:

Quote:

London's fortunes are tied up with our stand against racism and prejudice... Fighting racism is a daily fight and a political priority for our city and the Rise: London United festival is a clear statement of that fact.

Regarding the teenage violence that had plagued London in 2007, Tim Donovan put these questions to the Mayor:

Quote:

Are you worried about this recent spate of teenage violence is it something new and alarming?... Tony Blair said, not long ago, that this was a black, cultural thing, do you agree?

To which Livingstone replied:

Quote:

There is an element of that, particularly around the drug trade but NO! IT’S A LOT OF WHITE KIDS STABBING OTHER WHITE KIDS!

Now that is as big a lie, if not bigger, than any Tony B Liar ever told.

In the year to 15 July 2007, when Livingstone said what he said, 16 teenagers had been murdered in London.

Ten of the dead teenagers were black boys, three were black girls, one was mixed race and the other two dead children were white. At the time of Livingstone’s great lie, ALL OF THE KNOWN KILLERS AND THOSE SUSPECTED OF THE KILLINGS WERE BLACK.

Our Mayoral Brit-hater's casual dishonesty has been captured in the video on view here:
