It's a new year, so let's get some perspective on the future by looking at the past. Insert "Back to the Future" reference here.
In 2008, the British government pushed hard on the rights of knife owners. Did it work? This article from the UK Times Online seems to suggest "no." Maybe if you gave peaceful people the means to defend themselves, they would not be harmed by criminals.
My prediction for 2009: each citizen is to receive a personal police bodyguard. Yep, that ought to do it. All problems solved.
"Fatal stabbings have reached a record level in England and Wales this year, with five people a week being killed with a knife or sharp instrument, according to figures published today.
"The surge in fatalities comes despite a drive by the Government and police to reduce attacks involving knives, particularly in large urban areas."
Discuss this article in the forum.
