I don't know if anyone saw it, but on last night's BBC 6 o'clock news, they had extended headline regarding the increasing knife crime.

We saw a BBC reporter interviewing some Liverpool teenagers who displayed the various types of bladed weapons they were carrying.

What one has to ask is, if a TV reporter can suss out these criminals, why can't the police?

Obviously the reporter did not just happen to come across these teenagers wandering the streets, the street interview must have been pre-arranged, so why didn't the BBC tip of the police and have them arrested?

If media organisations informed police every time they were about to meet with ne'erdowells it would be the end of such meetings in short order.

If the police were able, willing and had a structure that could cope with as much dreck as they could round up, they'd be doing it already.

Maybe they have phoned 101 and one day an officer may go knocking (that's if they are recognisable by the force and have given their correct details)
