The link works for me - however, there's no mention of an ex-soap opera star in it. Also the story relates to immigration rather than gun and knife crime.
Think the link might be pointing to a different story than intended.
Is our childrens' (note the correct position of the apostrophe) education suffering?
Judging by the high numbers of children getting top grades in their GCSE and A Levels, probably not.
However, the only way to tell for sure is to look at the exam results for a selection of failing schools, both those with a high number of immigrant children and those without. Then you'd need to track back (say) 15 years to discover trending results.
I don't think any of us have time or the resources to do this.
Britain is no longer a decent place to bring up children. You have only to watch the TV program every morning where British families make the choice either to go to Australia or New Zealand.
The grass may always appear greener to some people but what you see is a low crime rate, school classes of 15 or less, healthy outdoor living and jobs that pay a decent salary.
It is not that we have been made a better and more prosperous country.
Hell the peoples of these tiny Islands built up a World-Wide Empire, started the Industrial Revolution which in turn made us the manufacturing leaders of the world. All this ourselves, and we didn't need any help from abroad.
Yet now we are slowly becoming a 'Third World Country'
We are now back to your question rov 'where did it all go wrong'
