Back to Knives
But I'm back now. And what was one of the first things to confront me outside my local tube station? This delightful sight.
What would you reckon the likelihood is of the errant yoofs of London dropping their street cred weapons into this bin? Pretty much zero I would wager. So what's the point of it? Beats me. Just an exercise in trying to reassure the public that something, anything, is being done to tackle the knifing epidemic. This looks like a high profile publicity stunt to me. I am not in the least reassured!
It's depressing. I wonder what the many tourists make of it all. Still, I won't be here much longer. I'm into my final few weeks in Blighty.

Some of the more liberally minded like to send these scallys on holidays because the poor diddums claim deprivation as the motivation for their violence.
I have an alternative suggestion. Send them on holiday to a really poverty stricken part of the world, and make them work for food for a few months.
You see ... my main gripe is that SOMEONE is feeding these violent thugs. Why should it be us?
