Tory mayoral candidate Susan Hall was the subject of mockery this week after claiming she was pickpocketed on the Tube, even though a member of the public returned the wallet to her — complete with cash and cards — after finding it on a Tube seat.
Hall told Nick Ferrari on LBC that the theft was a testament to Sadiq Khan’s “out of control” London. While, as The Standard reports today, crime on the Tube has risen, some have noted that Hall’s story is a little tenuous. “London clearly isn’t working if a pickpocket nicked her wallet and then returned it without taking the cash. Which other capital city would accept this level of performance?” joked one wag on X.
