Quote:that lady from Scotland was on gmtv this morning, cant remember her name, but shes been tackling knife crime for 15 years or so, and successfully. She made some good points to say the least. And big up to her for not accepting the easy attack on austerity..as she pointed out when knife crime was at its worst (2005 I think), there was no austerity. These polices were put in place under the then Labour Liberal coalition.
Its community spirit that she utilised to give a long term solution (ten to fifteen years)
Well who was she, What did she say? Yes indeed it was 2005 that knife crime peaked in Scotland. And the VRU initiatives include a good deal of community initiatives, and have experienced a great deal of success. I hope that despite austerity we have managed to keep much of that in place.
As for your following xenophobic rant…..
Quote:Do you think there would have been half the outcry over Grenfell if it had been full of old white pensioners?Personally, I fail to see what the colour of a person’s skin has to do with 70 odd people being burnt alive wholly unnecessarily in a tower block. The Grenfell disaster was an absolute outrage – full stop.
But having said what you have said – an absolutely utterly disgraceful contemptuous comment if ever there was one – well do you think if Grenfell was as you say “full of old white pensioners” Prime Minister May would have managed to find it within herself to go and meet the survivors? I rather think she would have.
I think I’ll leave it at that.
