It's my guess there hasn't been any significant rise in violent crime but the tabloid press has got hold of it and are blowing it way out of proportion. As the guy said above, us Brits love a good moan and are the first in line when it comes to putting our own country down.
yep, they are just putting it up in the limelight

obviously a slow news summer

Despite all the previous postings i don't think the UK is in a mess. We, as a society, have got our priorities wrong on certain things. (Living to work for example). But by and large most folk are decent and hardworking

As to knife crime, it's only in the news becasue it's nearly all teenagers stabbing teenagers in London. Anyone who lives north of London will tell you the news media hardly ever focus on issues elsewhere. If it doen't happen in London it doesn't happen at all, and if it does happen in London it's MAJOR news.

Ask Glaswegians about knife crime, they've had it for years but it hardly ever gets mentioned.

Just my 2p's worth.

The answer is:

To those saying there is nothing wrong with this country... Take you head out of your asses!

The UK is FUCKED right now... Yeah, it's not fucking Fallujah but it's nowhere near where it should be. We have some problems - that will HOPEFULLY start to get sorted when we get this shitty Labour government out and the conservatives back in.

This is a country where you DO serve 2 years for murder (admittedly the guy claimed he was temporarily insane)... I met him. I talked to him. The guy was NOT insane. But that's another story.

Burglars in this country are NOT serving ANY prison time whatsoever.... Because our prisons are too full.

Kids roam the streets and cause all manner of trouble, and the police DO NOTHING... There's nothing they CAN do.... I had bricks thrown at my house. I had a log thrown at my head, that missed by inches... And what did the police do? Fuck all... They have no power... And I live in a decent area. I wasn't allowed to film the kids terrorising my neighbourhood, because *I* could have got into trouble... (police woman told me this on the phone)... And I couldn't dish out any punishment, because again, it'd be me on the chopper.

The kids know their rights. The criminals know their rights. And we live in a country/continent where the criminal seems to have more rights than the victim.

The only thing you can do here when the criminal gives you shit is call the police... and it'll be a special day if they turned up within an hour on a 999 call... Don't say I'm being a fucking drama queen, this is real... And this year.

We moan, because we have lots to moan about... Yes, Britain is STILL great, but it's great because of what we did in the past, not because of the mess it's becoming.

hooliganism has been just about eradicated in England (at least compared to how it used to be), if they want to fight they normally do it a few days before or after the match, normally in a location far from the ground. Eastern and Southern Europe have a much bigger problem with hooligans today than England.

Lower class Americans don't have a very good reputation either (or lower classes anywhere for that matter, I imagine) :upsidedow

What I dont get is if you kill some one you get sent down for 14 years only do half and then you are out.

Does that not ring alarm bells that someones life is only worth 7 years in jail?

When need to bring back capital punishment of being hanged, drawn and quartred:

cheekycherry 07-22-2008 07:58 AM
I agree.

Our punishments are too lenient.

Murderers serving less than 10 years is NOT uncommon in the UK.

Violetta 07-22-2008 10:05 AM
because they are all fucking MAD!

Are you going to base every murder case on that of one guy?

Burglars in this country are NOT serving ANY prison time whatsoever.... Because our prisons are too full.

Show your sources, which convicted burglars have been let of punishment?

Huh you harp on about the police and law being useless, people dont go to jail the whole thing is a mess yet you wont dish out your own punishment? The police would just let you off they dont care as you say...

The kids know their rights. The criminals know their rights. And we live in a country/continent where the criminal seems to have more rights than the victim.

I saw Queen Elizabeth pull a bowie knife out of her garter once.. What kind of question is this?

buzzy 07-22-2008 09:09 PM
No but there is a problem not just with knives but with gang culture and assaults, it's because the punishment is too soft.

TheJimmy 07-23-2008 12:27 AM
Didn't they have some interesting useage of walking sticks or canes in Clockwork Orange?...those are still on the market no? ;)

cheekycherry 07-23-2008 12:28 AM
Also, it seems youth culture doesn't realize how easy it is to be killed or kill with a knife.

I saw some Scottish youths on television saying "being knifed don't hurt"...

Hmmm.
