Admitting that knife crime is "our biggest problem at the moment in some cities", the Prime Minister added: "Young people are thinking it is acceptable, fashionable and necessary for them to protect themselves by carrying a knife. But, just like we made guns unacceptable, we should be making knives unacceptable.

"You need role models to do that. You need evidence that carrying a knife makes you less safe, and you need parents and other people saying that knives, like guns, like bullying, like racism, are unacceptable. People in the community have to rise up and say this is unacceptable behaviour. We will see a campaign not just led by government but by people in the country to get knives off our streets, and I think we will see people responding."

Is this guy living in the real world?

Speaking on the bond between England & Scotland.

"We share the same bonds of our liberty, democracy, social cohesion and respect for the same institutions. I wouldn't like a Scot to be denied healthcare in England.
On an island, all of us are together. A partnership on equal terms is the right thing for the future."

It's a pity we don't share the same benefits as Scotland.

The English have to pay for perscriptions, university fees and care for the elderly. Scotland receives �1500 per year, per head population, of goverment funding than England does.

I think all these leaks are happening to judge what effects they will have on the public opinion. After the stamp duty leak was found not to be practicable it was dumped. Now another leak about paying couples with children receiving �150 Winter fuel bonus.
After each leak someone checks the Labour poll intentions to see if it will work. They have already tested the polls to see if removing Gordon from No 10 would help but it hasn't.

I wonder if No 10 is behind it all but I reckon its coming from somewhere else.

I wondered why the answers went down the road of fuel payments.
