Liberal Anarchy XXXIII: Two teens stabbed to death in one ..

AND LOOKIT, MARTHA, IT'S IN THE GRAUNY - it must be true.

Read to the bottom if you dare.

Orwell, I feel, would very likely asked why, after 11 years of social
democratic leftism in Government (remember 'Building a Safe, Just and
Tolerant Society' - it's on the front of every Home Office building in
Britain, or was) and eight years of a leftist mayor with a remit to do
as he pleases and access to tons of requisitioned money (the engine,
according to socialists, for 'social justice'), street life in London
has never been as moody and violent (at least not in living memory)
and forty teenagers have been stabbed to death or shot dead since
January 2007. That's fourteen months.
And nobody has a damned word to say about it. The Observer-reading
classes show none of the outrage that they would have done if a Tory
government was in office. If a Tory government was in office the fact
that the majority of the forty were black would become an enormous
moral crusade of luvvies and right-onners. But with the wanky left
actually running the show you hear nothing. This look-the-other-way-
because-otherwise-we-might-have-to-think attitude is pure hypocrisy of
the kind that is usually condemned by the cosmopolitan pluralists.
I'm inclined to think that the true Orwell line (if I may put it like
that -- I know that cliche, presumed pomposity, name dropping and
verbal...sensuality are policed here with nunnery-like stringency,
while discussion of possible causes of the decomposition of civilised
society is avoided with all the verve and self-censorship that is
natural to the academic mind; but sometimes you have to have a punt on
a phrase) on this is this: the liberal left's abdication of basic
moral responsibility across several major areas of society (while
simultaneously imposing their own elite interests and abstracts) has
dovetailed nicely with galloping crassness inanity of the consumerist
Right. Bullets, metaphorically speaking, made; bullets fired;
aftermath glibly explained away and above all *forgotten*. A senior
policeman, fast tracked from the University of 'Social Justice', makes
a few feelgood (at least to liberals) comments and the killing goes
on.

How could any teenagers be shot to death in a country with such strict
gun control? I would also like to know how many were stabbed to death
with knives vs. shot with guns, because it is obvious that you are
attempting to justify strict gun control by combining rare gunshot
injuries with common knife injuries. If knives were successfully
outlawed in the UK, then British youth would resort to whacking each
other with sticks, stones, bricks, frypans, etc. simply because they
are uncivilized.

If British people (especially the English) are so uncivilized and
violent that they can't be left around sharp or blunt objects, then
perhaps they should all be put in straightjackets and confined in
the rubber ward of mental hospitals to protect them from themselves.
