So the madness continues, another stabbing (28th April 2017)

Just over the borders in Peckham this time.

Breaking. Young man fatally stabbed in Blenheim Grove, Peckham. Rye Lane closed to all traffic

Things can cluster without indicating an overall increase, hopefully that’s the case with these recent events.

Unfortunately the Standard article quotes this data: “The killings come as figures from the Met Police show a 24 per cent rise in knife crime in London last year. Knife attacks had risen by a fifth, year-on-year figures revealed”

May I suggest an amendment to this heading -

So the madness continues, the police are still handcuffed by the political correctness that’s preventing them from getting knives off the streets, hence, another stabbing.

I’d rather you didn’t, but please feel free to open a discussion on this in Politicos.

It doesn’t seem like the long sentences for carrying a knife is actually working …
