Seven Stabbed To Death In Crazy 32-Hour Day
“SEVEN MORE STAB DEATHS IN A DAY.”
So says the Daily Express.
The Mail chimes in with: “SIX stabbed to death in just 24 hours as Blade Britain’s knife epidemic spirals out of control.”
But not as out-of-control as in the Express, which sees seven killed in “just 32 hours”.
The Independent does the maths: “Seven killed in a brutal 24 hours
Journalists are not famed for their grasp of maths but surely between them the Express’s John Chapman and John Twomey could agree that 24 hours make up one day, in the traditional sense?
Of course, the Express is, ait confesses, “TEN times better than the Mail”, and as any Express hack will tell you, seven is precisely ten times six…

I’m informed by Channel 4 news:
The home secretary has claimed that young people doing community service as punishment for carrying knives, would see first hand the damage done, by visiting stabbing victims in A&E and being briefed by doctors treating those victims.
But the home secretary has admitted there was no agreement with hospitals or A&E departments, or with victims to make that happen.
The Home Secretary is convinced restorative justice works but can’t point to any evidence.
And one prominent US study of the American Scared Straight programme, which confronts young criminals with their victims, actually said it could increase offending rates.
So, looks like we’d better go with Coco’s plan…

Seems that the drug crazed knife-wielding zombie community are so afeared of Labours new anti-knife strategies ( “Getting social workers out onto the streets to steer the kids away from crime” ) that they are getting plenty of stabbings in before the Police are re-allowed to take their toys away.
Perhaps if politicians and journos stopped harping on so much about the negative aspects of so-called knife crime we could relate to the kids better and understand their problems; ceasing our endless ” Dis-Respect ” for their Yoof and their Culture. Let’s get POSITIVE people ! Imagine the Empowerment that stabbing some fool engenders; many young boys will lack role models and yet with each slaying a new STREET HERO emerges from within their midst totally unsullied by the feminization foisted upon the community by the liberal elite.

‘Tis God’s way!
Best that they sort themselves out because UK law won’t do it. The UK public are all suffering from apathy so they won’t do anything about it.
But woe betide any scum who kills or maims somebody outside their scum-bag circles.
I hope they are chain-ganged and kicked in the bollocks all day whilst laying roads, railway-lines and sweeping the sh*t up on estates.
So there!
DON’T BRING BACK CAPITAL PUNISHMENT - KICK ‘EM SENSELESS -DAILY!
