I'll just wait here a few months for the money to start rolling in...

So, Cyberman reads some hearsay factoid published anonymously on an Internet forum, and relating to one specific area of the country a few years ago.
A month later he is stating the same thing as fact, with the implication that it is true for the entire country today.

Originally posted by minestrone View PostI probably know abut 10 people that have been stabbed.

Blade entered his eye socket but missed his eye. Totaly unprovoked, someone just decided to jump him and stab him in the face.
The stats for Glasgow show that it is 5 times worse for knife crime that London, it hardly makes the news here.

Originally posted by larry View PostI live just around the corner from the latest stabbing. Croydon is basically finished. The borough is teaming with welfare recipients and because asylum seekers are processed there, that is where many make their (free) home. It was voted Britain's 'Chavviest' town and it's easy to see why. I'm living with relatives and will be leaving by the end of the year.
Good library, though!

I don't like to make light of this because a young man is now dead and two kiddies will grow up knowing that their father met a violent end. There is no way to look at that other than as a tragic waste.
But
1. He was in Croydon
2. He was ouside Lidl.
So what did he expect?
I don't exactly know what Lidl is, but there was one just down the road from where I used to live in London, and I knew that it was best to go nowhere near it.
I also went to Croydon once. You don't make that mistake twice.

Fiscal Stimulus...
Build more Maximum Security Prisons.
Convict criminals for LONGER
Make them do manual labour
Create Prison Guard jobs for the jobless.
Crime, particularly knife crime is getting out of hand in this country. I refuse to bring up children anywhere near London. This saddens me as I am a Londoner born and bred, but I will move to the burbs outside the M25 to grant my kids a safer upbringing.

A 22 year old in custody.
What's this country coming to?
