'Urgency needed' on knife crime

There must be greater urgency behind the fight to tackle knife crime and anti-social behaviour, the innovation, universities and skills secretary says.
"The knife crime we have seen recently and some of the drunken behavior - we are not where we need to be on those issues," John Denham told BBC News.

When have any of the politicians of any party been on track? Not one of you know what its like in the inner cities, as soon as you get elected you move out, if, I say again if, you have ever even lived in the constituency your supposed to represent!

Mr Denham pointed to "powerful new legislation" to fight the problem.

As ever, its not working try more and more laws, that will not work as you simply do not have the Police manpower available, all this spouted time and time again about “policing and more officers in real terms since we took power” etc etc, we know is just absolute crap, you’re a lying sack of fucktards!

Mr Denham said there were deeper problems underlying the rise in street violence, and perseverance was essential.

Lets see, feral youths running amok, where is the new plastic copper, you know the PCSO's, oops they're hiding as they might get hurt! So why not get the real Police on the streets, not the PCSO’s, Forget the pc brigade, give us our schools and streets back! The “gangs” and trouble causers know they are virtually invincible, because they have no fear! Follow the example of New York and adopt a Zero Tolerance Policy, you know just like the one you have against motorists!

He said: "Where there are underlying problems, like the acceptance of gang culture among young people, knife carrying or too-readily-available alcohol to young people, we have got to carry on until we have beaten the problem.

By passing more and more useless laws, that will not work but only add another layer of targets for Police to aim at. But there again show me one "feral youth" who would have a knife fight whilst pissed, and you know what, I'll eat my fucking hat, it just does not happen, pissed + knife = DEAD!!! As usual a fucktard politician trying to tie two problems together, to support the incoming increase of tax on drink!
"
We have very powerful new legislation in place for the police to use to tackle these problems."
Yawn, it WILL NOT WORK!! Listen for a change, hows about you Get off your fucking fat arses and try going out with the police, with the fire service and ambulance personnel. See at first hand what its really like out there! Not just for a day or two, spend a month doing their shifts, watch them cope, then ruminate on their pathetic salary and weigh it up against your own! Then ask yourself if you deserve what you get? Listen and learn fuckwit!! We have enough laws as it is, bloody well use them!!! WE DON'T NEED MORE!!!

Mr Denham added that he was very concerned "about the heavy, heavy promotion of discounted alcohol and the culture that goes around that".


The idiots will get pissed, and adding to the price will not deter them, but loads of Police on the streets just might! But why should prices of beer increase so everyone is punished for the sins of the few, how can this be fair ? Mind you if the A level exam results are as good as they are reported to be, maybe just maybe, the kids can't see any point in not being pissed all the time, as this government have fucked this country up as well as every ones life and liberty.

"I personally - not as a minister I've got to say, but personally, as somebody who looked at these issues in the past - hope that that's something we're going to look at in the future."


Bloody hell don’t tell me yet another working party or delaying tactic that you took part in, but then never mind, the problem isn’t really in your back yard is it? Plus the increase in booze revenue will help boost your pensions.

Shadow Home Secretary David Davis said: "It took two years for the government to wake up to the massive explosion in knife crime and concede to Conservative calls for an increase in the penalty for carrying knives.
You say this like the problem never existed, look into the history of the country, you only really need to go back to the 50’ and 60’s, to learn about knife crime!

"The government owes it to the public to take a grip of drink, drugs, and the broken homes that have spawned this plague on modern Britain."
Now come on, surely your party has also to share the burden of blame. After all you signed up to the pc crusade!

The director of the Victims of Crime Trust, Norman Brennan, said he believed there was now "a national crisis with knife crime".

If youths are going meeting friends in inner cities were they know there are gangs who carry knives, are they not going to carry a knife as protection? Could it possibly be that as the Police no longer guard the streets, youths who are not in a gang, knowing that gang members do carry knives, take them as a form of self protection. Did we as a nation not hand over our right to bear arms, to the government who promised to police and protect us? If the Police can no longer do their allotted task, then we do have the right to bear arms, it is a basic common law right to be able to defend yourself!

Mr Brennan suggested three ways to tackle the problem.

Fuck me only three!!! Must be a busy week coming up if he can only think of three!

He said there should be mandatory five-year sentences for carrying a knife, mass stop-and-searches and the introduction of national or community service.

Funny but does five years mean five years or really mean eighteen months after time off? If you say five years then fucking well mean it!! Oops sorry forgot there is no room in our prisons, apart from old ladies who can’t / wont pay their council tax is there? Well the mass stop and search will infuriate the Asians/muslims as well as the afro caribean as well as the blacks or whatever were supposed to call them now! So we know that will never happen, not in this pc era.

"And police should take community leaders with them so they can see the feral youngsters who are roaming our streets.

Fuck community leaders, get you sorry arsed politicians off your collective fat arses and down on the streets for a month, (I mean July to October you do fuck all anyway!) see how the other half live. See how many times you literally shit yourself walking to the chippy or to the local pub, then you might actually do something rather than pontificate about it!

"We need to introduce something to occupy the disenfranchised young people. Whether that is national service or mandatory community-based work, it would help."

I agree, how about getting them real jobs for a start, none of the McJobs, real jobs on a decent wage! With regards the Army would they want them? really? now would they, after all they know their yuman rights don’t they! No nasty NCO would be permitted to shout at them, and if they had to go to Iraq, why they would run away!!! So what is the point, your trying to sound like a normal person now aint you? Now if you meant borstal, then right bring it on, I am up for the fuckers taking it up the arse in the greenhouse, or even the cells. Make them frightened of it, and bingo crime rate halved. Apart from the fact that I bet you wouldn't have the thieving little fuckers in your area doing community work would you? Bloody hell it would scare the horses and alarm the womenfolk!!!!!

You have my permission to go and kill yourself you slimy fuckwit!
