????????? how do you work that out Mr. assumption ? First off that article is 5 years old, secondly no where in the article does it break down the statistics by ethnicity. I would say the fact that it (Manchester) is as culturally diverse as London and Birmingham goes some way to giving credence to my point. I was using somewhere I lived that predominantly white working class, that didn’t have any Knife crime, (Droylsdon) compared to say Longsight that had a much more culturally diverse make up, that was rife with it, and guns! Sometimes Kerm old buddy, you really do wear your lefty heart on your sleeve.

Its quite important to remember that low rates of knife crime in areas of Nottingham, London and Manchester may be more down to the prevalence of gun crime among gangs. The increasing popularity of knives among London gangs has generally stemmed from successes in Operation Trident making guns harder to obtain. There isn't a real 'link' between ethnicity and knife crime. Its more of a correlation. "One Nation Under God, has turned into One Nation Under the Influence of One Drug" [Link]

Not condoning racism in the slightest sense; but the majority of knife crime these days are committed by mixed raced youths. This was actually demonstrated to me back in college by a police officer who happened to be a black woman. Sad but unfortunately true. However the "blacks always f* it up" comment is unacceptable and he should be banned or at least carded for that. You are wrong. In London 'yes' but the UK as a whole whitey commits the most. Which proves it is not a race thing but more to do with geographical cultures**. So your saying the youth in London is predominantly Black, hence thats why the levels of Knife crime by Black Youths is disproportionate In London. Bit presumptuous if you ask me Kerm. I'd love to see where you got those Stats from. Knife stats are freely available on t'internet danny. As per usual, Glasgow wins the stabbing Gold Medal. Belfast is up there too with London and Manchester. 'Geographical cultures' as in postcode crime. Thats a cop out Kerm and you know it, last time I checked Post Codes dont stab people ? Your post insinuated at best, and outright claimed at worst that areas that have a higher percenatge of black youths have higher knife crime, which is not a million miles away from what the original poster was saying. His choice of delivery left a lot be desired, but the sentiment at the base of his crude claim (essentially that knife crime is a particular problem in certain black youth cultures) is true, work in casualty on a friday or saturday night in Mayday (as I have on security) on you will see all the proof you need. Thats not being a racist, thats being factual. London does have a problem with young black lads stabbing each other, as for other areas of the UK... i'm not so sure, I've never really lived there, so have little interest. I remember watching 24hours in A&E, and a African doctor did a plea to the young black people of London to stop carrying knives. He was sick of seeing young black lads being stabbed. I almost think it is racist not to discuss it. Things in life change... years ago it was skinheads, then mods... now it's young black lads, who knows... in 20 years time it might be Turks/Poles/Indians, but for now it is young black guys, so lets not be too scared to discuss it, and leave it to the far right to push their agenda. The problem though doesn't stem from them being black which is where the issue of calling it a black problem crosses over into racism. When it wasn't young black youths, it wasn't a white problem, it was a problem identified with specific white youth cultures. Maybe we could try to understand better those cultures that black youth attach to, rather than just lump the whole thing on a problem associated with all young black men (which implies its genetic or ethnic).

Sometimes Kerm old buddy, you really do wear your lefty heart on your sleeve. Glasgow and Belfast are in the UK are they not? Include those two danny and the numbers will bear it out. What we can agree on is that in London knife crime is greatly and disproportionately committed by those with a darker hue. But that doesn't mean jack to Jocky McHugh and his 45 stitches last Saturday night and the many others in A and E waiting rooms oop north.
