Another stabbing apparently - Ravenswood McDonalds. on 22:32 - Jun 13 by floridaboy
Time for the police to have complete control on stop and search and not have to worry in case some do gooders organisation throws a tantrum in front of the cameras.
Race or colour time to sort these people out before someone else loses their life!
Forget this stabbing for a moment but how would stop and search have prevented the previous two? They were both targeted with the culprits quickly going from A to B to do the business.

There is pretty much nothing that can be done to stop knife crime. It's a worrying run of events.
There's lots that can be done. Draconian stop and search. Mandatory 10 year sentences for anyone found with a knife. Crack down on drugs with such ferociousness the gangs won't know what hit them. Create an elite police unit with huge resources to carry out the above.

Such as? You can pick a knife up from any supermarket or kitchenware store. If someone has the urge to stab somebody else there is pretty much nothing the police can do about it.

Anybody willing to stab someone else clearly has no fear of imprisonment. Stop and search may be useful to a point in a concentrated area where the carrying of knives is common but generally it's ineffective. The issue with knife crime is the ease with which you can buy/get hold of a knife - most households have several.

They have no fear of authority, it is a symptom of the society we live in. The only way to retrieve the situation is to wield a big scary stick. But we don’t have the stomach for it in thus country I’m afraid and are hamstrung by crippling political correctness. So it will get worse until it gets really bad.

Or we could just legalise drugs and have stricter sentences for carrying blades.
And yes, all knife crime is caused by “political correctness”. No one ever got stabbed in the good old days when you could still say “darkie” without someone getting offended.

Side note - Wasn’t it the “PC GONE MAD” brigade and press that recently had a meltdown over a footballer having a gun tattooed on his leg?!

Darkie? What are you going on about. I wasn’t saying it was perfect a few years ago, I’m not that old, and all eras have their issues. I’m talking about now however and we have teenagers killing each other and in my view political correctness, social engineering and breakdown of traditional families are all contributing to the problem we have today. Disagree with me but don’t equate my rejection of political correctness with 70s racism you idiot.

I think you’re a massive troll for the most part on here and disagree with most of your posting on this thread, but I completely agree, no idea why callis has thrown the ‘darkie’ comment at you. Completely unnecessary.

Lots of interesting data here that would suggest modern “political correctness” has nothing to do with knife crime considering historic incidents in volume by years.
Applogies if you are upset I likened your use of PC GONE MAD to racism, but 9 times out of 10 it is a throwaway buzzword used by people who have no idea what it means nor what it relates to. I’m still not entirely convinced from your reply that isn’t the case either TBH. What is/was a “traditional family”, how has it changed and how has that impacted knife crime with the above linked data kept in mind?

You agree with a comment that factual data proves is incorrect? Really?

Callis is basically TWTD's
Go easy on him though, his mind is weak from lack of meat

I think the real issue here is people saying “political correctness” as a means to an end, rather than elaborating on what it means, how it affects the subject matter and the correlation between data/facts.

Sure there is. Stop cutting police funding. Stop cutting funding for community outreach projects. Stop cutting funding for local sports clubs and youth drop-in centres. Stop the narrow focus of education on a results-only basis. Stop cutting funding to sure-start centres. Stop making false economies. Increased 'stop and search' powers are a sticking plaster that look at symptoms, not causes. Treating symptoms is, invariably more expensive AND less effective preventing further outbreaks.

"More state!"
A lot of today's social problems stem from the state replacing the father as the provider in far too many homes.
