There's more people slipping and dying in their bathroom each year. Or struck by lighting. Or beaten to death by their companion/husband.
Jeez. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
The Metropolitan Police is only for London, not for the whole country.
The murder rate for the 12 months to May'08 was 168, and in January-June 08 there were 20 stabbings of teenagers, by teenagers.
There is also a growing problem with gang violence involving teenagers.
You can choose to not care and make jokes about lighting bolts. I suppose 168 murder cases in all of london are not enough to drive policy either - let's abolish the Metropolitan Police. When the capital development of a country becomes a by-product of the activities of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done. — John M. Keynes
Don't put words in my mouth, please. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
The term "postcode wars" refers to a modern day phenomenon that make some estates no-go areas for Islington youths. For feuding gang members, stepping over the "front line" between N1 and E8 can mean death. Numerous killings, including the 2005 murder of Essayas Kassahun in Old Street, have been linked to the phenomenon. Ms Woolcock said: "This is not something hyped up by the media. It is very real and happening every day. They have their own language and there are signs for each postcode area. It is very dangerous for young men to be caught in the wrong place." She will be "in conversation" with Nicola Abel-Hirsch of the British Psychoanalytical Society tonight.
