Fears in Britain that knife crime is growing out of control have led the government to launch an awareness campaign directed at young people.

Grimly realistic images will be distributed through social networking websites and mobile phones, as well as through traditional media outlets.

London police chief Vernon Croaker explains said it was not that crime figures are rising, rather that the age of the victims is falling. He said:

Guess we're ahead of them in some sense.

Gee, what do they think might happen if they were to actually teach their kids that this is bad conduct? What if they “forced” a moral code on them, such as, say...Judaeo-Christian values ? Maybe they might stop this nonsense.

It wasn’t that long ago that high school kids would take their rifles to school in their cars/trucks when it was deer season. There were also rifle ranges in the high schools. Yet no one shot anyone else back then. What do you suppose was different then?? Well????? I f we can answer this one honestly we might have a chance to reclaim our nation and our liberty. I am not optimistic...SSZ

Pointed stick? Oh, oh, oh. We want to learn how to defend ourselves against pointed sticks, do we? Getting all high and mighty, eh? Fresh fruit not good enough for you eh? Well I'll tell you something my lad. When you're walking home tonight and some great homicidal maniac comes after you with a bunch of loganberries, don't come crying to me! Now, the passion fruit. When your assailant lunges at you with a passion fruit...

Oh, come on. You knew somebody wuz gonna post it... ;-)

Hmm, only the “nobles” (ruling lords and their knights aka police and military) can carry ANY weapons, even knives. The serfs can’t. Feudalism comes full circle in Merry Old England. (The creation of the round pointed dull edged “butter knife” heralds back to those days.)

good points, all.

I can only humbly suggest that a pendulum goes as far as it possibly can, and then reverses.

...Violent crime in London is falling, gun crime is falling, knife crime is falling ...

Those figures for London are mirrored across the UK.


Wrong! Gun crime is so prevalent in the city of Manchester, the locals have renamed the city Gunchester. It seems to me that soon carrying a pointy stick will be become a crime in the UK.
No more longbows and arrows for YOU!

(Emerson, Lake & Palmer)
Benny was the bouncer at the Palais de Dance
He'd slash your granny's face up given half a chance.
He'd sell you back the pieces, all for less than half a quid
He thought he was the meanest-
Until he met with Savage Sid.

Now Sidney was a greaser with some nasty roots
He poured a pint of Guinness over Benny's boots
Benny looked at Sidney:
Sidney stared right back in his eye.
Sidney chose a switchblade
and Benny got a cold meat pie.
Oh! what a terrible sight,
Much to the people's delight.
One hell of a fight.

Sidney grabbed a hatchet, buried it .... in Benny's head.
The people gasped as he bled:
The end of a Ted?

Well, they dragged him from the wreckage of the Palais in bits.
They tried to stick together all the bits that would fit.
But some of him was missing
and “part of him” arrived too late,
So now he works for Jesus
As the bouncer at St. Peter's Gate.

Didn’t they try this a few years back and tee off all the chefs, there?

I can’t believe how stupid these people are to think they can eliminate violence in this way. Take away guns, and now they use knives, what are they going to do next - chop off hands?

I think rope for strangling would be before pipes and rocks ... but then, only gangs would have rope and pipes and rocks ... then the police ....

England no longer exists. It’s now Englislamoland ....
