Knives in the UK

Comment on knives in the UK:

European news media is currently obsessing on "knife-crime"in the UK and other parts of Western Europe. News stories, parroting requiem Marxist dogma, slavishly lament the way violent crime is on the increase, much of it now involving knives, not guns. And, of course, there is the predictable call for all cutting instruments to be banned from private ownership. Steak-lovers are the UK's newest endangered species! Dining-room cutlery now faces proscription.

In response, nervous UK parents are rushing to equip their children with expensive, Kevlar-lined, "stab-resistant" school uniforms,which are selling briskly!

As in this country, crime-loving politicians piously wring their hands and endlessly engage in self-righteous pontificating, all the while quietly arming themselves and sending their own children, along with heavily-armed bodyguard contingents, to expensive, private schools. As they all but reward violent criminals, they ruthlessly seek to punish (via forced disarmament) good and decent people, who don't commit crimes. You can count on it. They know no other Course!

The one vice which predictably unites these arrogant neo-Bolsheviks, both here and there, is abject, shameless hypocrisy!
