00:01A survey of more than 2,000 UK adults carried out in March and published on Thursday found
00:09that 34% of the public believe there are areas in London where Sharia law dominates and non-Muslims
00:16cannot enter, making them no-go places. A slightly higher proportion, 36%, disagreed
00:23with this and around a fifth of people said they did not know if this was the case or
00:28not. Mr Trump, in an interview with GB News last week, claimed London is a much different
00:33place with crime that's very high. Research by King's College London found that the public
00:39generally overestimates crime in the capital. On average, people felt 30% of people in London
00:48had personally experienced a crime in a single year, while Londoners themselves thought it
00:53was 25%. Both were much higher than the reality of 12.2%, while the research found that reform
01:01and Conservative voters typically believed crime rates were even higher than reality, although
01:07Labour and Green voters were less likely to recognise that some type of crime has risen.
01:15While violence and sexual offences have both increased in London, fewer than half of those
01:20parties' supporters thought that either had gone up, compared with the majorities of reform
01:25and Conservative supporters.
