Its being exaggerated by the media according to some on here. Will they wake up now!!

With our politicians sleep-walking into chaos while trying to protect others in far away lands shouldn't the emphasis instead be making the streets of London safer? It all boils down to money which is going elsewhere.

Knife crime won't stop, it will get worse. Same for gun crime. It comes with the culture. As long as they just kill each other, then no reason to panic. There is too much to even attempt to change in the culture and lifestyle. Few father figures. No concept of right or wrong. Just tribal behaviour. Stay at home, lock your doors, and hope that feral scum will eventually stab all of themselves to death. I would not shed a single tear if they did.

I doubt it very much.

Im realy sorry (Not) if this isnt PC but think it has become fashionable to carry a knife. Problem is that these youngsters have no moral code so using it is not abhorent

Don't the parents know their kids are carrying weapons? You can almost "read" the ones who might, and by the company some of them keep. Then again, maybe their parents are as bad. The law has to change drastically.

There are increased cries fo the re-introduction of National Service.

Could it be Brown's statement on Monday, will be along these lines?

Let's face it, he has a problem with troop numbers, ie recruitment is down, increasing numbers are coming out, plus the fact that we are coming nearer to taking on Iran.

I'd feel sorry for the armed services if they had to take this lot on board - and I'd feel even more sorry for the service personnel they were sent to fight alongside. People in the forces are supposed to be able to rely upon their comrades, but only a fool would trust these people in a crisis.

Having said that, a couple of years of army training and discipline would do them no harm at all. It might even turn them into responsible citizens - and that would only be a good thing.

I'm not sure why they abandoned the boot camps a few years ago?
