I think you're missing the actual point - these psychos with knives would be much MORE likely to attack if they had guns they could use from a distance.

Dunno, guns for show, knives for a pro...

Originally posted by George Smiley The figures are still high though (maybe not compared to somewhere like LA or New York?) even if the rate hasn't increased (as we are led to believe from recent press articles). It's still an issue that needs lookin at by the police/government, especially as apparently innocent people seem to be gettin targeted as well as gang members (perhaps that's why we're hearing more about it now than previously?)

It can be something worth noting and looking into but not something to stay at home about. Even the article admits its hardly a big story and London remains a very safe place.

In some respects, Britain's knife terror is a fear without an underlying story: The number of knife crimes in Britain has not actually increased, even if this year's London stabbings are included, and violent crime across the country and in London is at its lowest level in two decades; in fact, violent crime rates dropped by another 9 per cent last year. On the whole, the country remains far safer than North America.

brilliant for them to do a story on something they admit is not a story! in other words, its just meant to scare people

Well, it is the British press! It's not like not having any stories to report on is gonna stop them trying to sell newspapers! What they really could do with at a baron time like this is if someone, say, cut their own head off with a chainsaw, now that'd be news people would wanna read about! Oh, wait a minute...

Oh come on, it's Knife Season!

Everyone loves Knife Season, it's like duck season without feathers and traditional Cockney greetings of "Day's dawnin', a're ya? *STAB!* might fade out of the culture.

Which would be very sad indeed!

heh I thought thats what she was getting at

A beautiful blonde woman is in a bar , when a very good looking , hunky black man gives her the eye , he approaches and asks her if she would like a drink , she agrees and after hitting it off she whispers to him , take me home and show me if what they say about black men is true!

They go back home and he robs her purse and stabbs her 4 times




oh
oh
racialist jokes ,,, Contraversy

But on a serious note , in london its mainly black people knifing each other and every white male killed gets a lot more exposure than any black male in the press , and were being asked to back a campaign because one lads sister is on TV
no joke
