It is certainly true that there's alot of stabbing going on (and I don't just mean in the gay massage parlour). But what is not clear is whether these types of crime are increasing. Isn't it the case that newspapers latch onto particular topics at certain times, and report cases nationally that would otherwise have gone unreported.

The latest shooting in Manchester...

What the feck were children doing out at Midnight?

Are you saying that rather than give a fair and balanced account of the day's goings on, the newspapers are biased, and even create news stories? Scurrilous.

Godlessness in the Last Days

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

Sounds very much like those on the CUK bulletin board.

Don't forget the man shot in the chest when a gang of 20 blokes dressed in blue broke into his house the other morning.
