In London in the 1990s, hit and runs were 8% of accidents, now they're 16% - with 25% in the borough of Hackney.

Hmm, so Diane Abbott's fiefdom has an absolutely shocking number of hit and runs. Perhaps she should focus her attentions on local problems rather than worrying about "white, middle-aged speeders".

She's obviously not so "tough on the causes of death" when it concerns what are presumably, given then local demographic, a good percentage of non-white drivers.
