A debate in Parliament on knife crime

[whiffey]

..... attracted just 16 MPs.

Any ideas why the turnout was so very low ?

Have they just accepted that yoofs kill each other and that there is sod all can be done about it ?

Some MPs were attending 'finance' meetings, always more important.

Knife crime is here to stay.

Apathy.

[tigerlily11]

Thats just a debate about life. Money and especially theirs is always more important.
But reacently its not just Yoofs as you put it. Innocent people are dieing as a consquence.

[whiffey]

Apathy, absolutely.

As long as metal exists and can be fashioned into shapes that can stab, then yoofs will stab each other.

Community leaders put it down to poverty and lack of parental control, etc, etc. So let's give them and their parents lots of money - how about that ? An extra penny on income tax is a small price to pay if our yoof will stop slaughtering each other innit.

[Dr-Legend]

Maybe theyre alll virtually there i hear its the next best thing.
Can you get virtually stabbed ?If not maybe we should hardwire yoofs to the net and let them live in a matrix like world where nothing or noone matters .

Would it be that bad ?

[whiffey]

Again I am with leg end. I think we should supply all teenagers with a free laptop, especially in deprived areas, and encourage them to kill online. I reckon a measly penny on income tax would cover it. After all, we have to look after the next generation.

(Obviously teenagers in communities that conspicuously have managed to get by without slaughtering each other should not be included in this special offer)

[Dr-Legend]

Could the scheme not be extended to womena s it would stop them being a nuisance?

I am afraid there is LOTS of things going on in this country that are wrong, but this governement constantly thinks they can do nothing about them.

I have never known a government stand back and allow so many things to go wrong with them making NO attempt to sort them out.

They have done little on crime, immigration, benefit fraud, illegal drugs, NHS, education, policing etc.

Seems their attitude is: Just get on with whatever you want, and even if it is criminal we will do nothing about it.
