It says ...
“church leaders should move into crime ridden inner city areas”
... Remember, England is only 90% English. It has a large, fast-growing immigrant (third world population.)
They’ve tried those same save the children programs here in the US and they’re not all that effective. US cities are infested with crime. The Mayor of Chicago wants to call in National Guard to deal with their crime problem. The solution? Deport, deport, deport.

I looked into this a couple weeks ago because I was curious about crime in Britain. Someone on another thread suggested as you have that the crime is not the work of indigenous youth. My impression when I vacationed there a couple years ago was that it was the indigenous English youth perpetuating many of these types of crimes. This article and the one I quote from (one of the Brit papers) suggest that my impression was probably correct. At the least, the offenders who are ID’ed as fatherless are not likely to be named Mohammed.
“US cities are infested with crime. The Mayor of Chicago wants to call in National Guard to deal with their crime problem. The solution? Deport, deport, deport.”
Just to get the facts right here, yes, U.S. cities are infested with crime, including Chicago. Chicago indeed has a large Latino population, many of whom are illegal, as well as a bunch of illegals from other countries also. However, it was not the Mayor that wants to call in the National Guard to deal with crime in Chicago, it was the Governor, Rod Blagojevich, that said he wanted to send in the National Guard. And there’s more to it than meets the eye. Richard Daley, the Mayor of Chicago, didn’t even know the Governor was going to announce this. And there’s politics (of course) behind it.
Gov. Blago is PO’d that Mayor Daley doesn’t support his construction works program for the state,and Blago’s desire to open a new Casino in the state to pay for it. So, in order to knife Mayor Daley in the back with the stiletto, Gov Blago gives the Mayor’s city a black eye and embarrasses him by announcing he wants to send the Nat’l Guard in because the crime problem is so bad. The Gov did this fully knowing that the City of Chicago (through Mayor Daley) has been wooing the Olympics Committee to have the 2016 (I believe) summer Olympics held in Chicago. Just what the Mayor needs is our bigmouth Gov. Blago badmouthing crime in the City while the city is attempting to win the Olympics. What better way to put the kabosh on it than portray Chicago as a totally crime ridden city that needs state intervention to stem it.
So, once again, things in politics are seldom what they seem to be. Gov Blago sure knows how to make political allies. Perhaps that is why his own party (the Dems, who control both state houses) hate him, and why there have been calls to impeach him (he is a crook amongst his other virtues). Oh how I love living in a blue state.
