You're the first person to come on here with some intelligence and reason and I thank you for that.
I'm sure you're right and we will never change each others views.
As to the UK knife crime figures, they are alarming and no mistake.
I put a lot of it down to the general disintegration of society. The lack of respect in schools and the do goody good liberals that seem to think we can get though to these arseholes by talking to them.
There is no doubt in my mind that both in your country and in mine, violent crime is on the increase. I hope that sooner rather than later, the powers that be will say enough is enough and start coming down hard on crime. I think that for far too long, the soft option has been seen as the correct way to go, when clearly this just hasn't worked.
