This tragic stabbing has revealed yet again how out of touch the British government & media are with what is actually being experienced by ordinary people everyday on the streets of London. Go into any British town centre on a weekend & the fall-out from drugs & alcohol are obvious. When was the last time a cabinet minister or journalist caught public transport or visited an A & E ward? 38 people are treated for stabbing every day in the UK - hospital staff are being given kevlar stab-jackets for their own protection. Police Operation Blunt 2 searched 27,000 people & arrested 1200 in the space of only 7 weeks in London. This is a city on the brink of chaos - dont believe the propaganda put out by the government & its media lackies. It will only take a major power-cut or other 'event' for widespread civil unrest to break out
Statements by London's new Mayor, Boris Johnson, that he intends to clamp down on crime are nothing but hypocritical nonsence. This is the very same man who only a few days before these tragic killings advised Londoners not to get involved if they saw criminal activity but to walk away & mind their own business! The truth is that London is one of the most crime ridden cities in the so-called civilized western world. It begins with the money-laundering in the City and ends with drug-fuleed violence on the streets. Social unrest on a massive scale is next as dysfunctional Britain exhibits all the symptoms of a post-industrial economy enthralled by free-market economic policies. Sarkosy needs to learn the lesson - not copy the failed Blair experiment.
