literally another aussie in london

the war on knives

Seems like a silly thing to have, but London is trying its best.

Since the war on drugs and war on terror went so well, London now wants to stop all the stab stab business that i have briefly mentioned in my bus post.

It seems parents are getting a bit upset that their children keep getting stabbed to death, and they want it to stop.

Fair enough.

But why pick on knives?

Guns i get, but knives, surely if you can kill someone with a knife, you are also willing to smash their head into the ground until they die, or other kinds of violence that result in homicide.

And how do we stop knives?

Should we ban the swiss, steak and cheese as well?

Knives are probably the easiest weapon you can get your hands on, hence all the stab stab.

But regardless of the knife culture, isn’t the bigger issue here not the knives, but theg ang and youth violence in general.

And by having rallies, specials on tv and talkback radio, i don’t think you are really speaking to the knife people directly.

Perhaps if Dizzie Rascal started rapping about putting down the knife and picking up the spork, that could work.

Or if Girls aloud did a nude calender shoot without any knives on them, the young uns would get it.

“Look at ‘er bangers, no knives izzit”.

Ofcourse the only true way to win the war on knives is to get the forks involved.

They have been overshadowed too long, and now it’s payback time.
