Yeah, well, you lot didn’t start hanging enforcers bad those who dispatched them when they took away your guns and your knives, and you let them throw your loved ones in the hole over social media posts, so good luck with your subjecters not making note of who to go after when they can cath them alone.

Amnesty launched as part of mission to halve knife crime – Young people across the country are being urged to surrender bladed weapons including ninja swords to help prevent further loss of young lives to knife crime. [More]

So, blame inanimate objects “and take a public health approach to violence reduction,” all the while making it a punishable crime to post about the real problem on social media.

Who wants to bet against stabbings increasing?

Given the erosion of public safety and the rise of systemic distrust, Britain would benefit from revisiting the question of civilian armament and cherry-picking the best of the US and Swiss models.

Gamers who carry out virtual rapes in the ‘metaverse’ should be charged as real-life sex attackers, a legal expert insists…Professor Clare McGlynn, a law expert at Durham University, branded the metaverse a ‘ticking time bomb’ and warned that the number of sex attacks is set to ‘explode’ in the next few years. [More]

Then why not virtual assault, virtual first-person shooting, and Grand Theft Auto…?

Life imitates art.

Alternatively, we could just lock up McGlynn, humanely, in a nice padded cell where she belongs.
