YES! Someone that agrees with me,
I'm sure if you live in Britain at the moment, you have seen this new moral panic surrounding knife culture. If you believe news reports, almost everyone in the UK carries a knife. What utter bollocks.
Once again, Polly Toynbee comes to the rescue by pointing out some facts here. The prison population has rapidly increased. One sign of a moral panic i.e. rise in legislation or a 'crackdown' on behaviour. However, crime has declined 43% since 1995 and has been on a steady decline for the past 10 years.
I've only had time to scan through the article but I'm agreeing with what she says so far. I better go because laura0141 is coming to pick me up in half an hour and I'm still in my PJs.
