Suddenly the UK has noticed that Ian Duncan Smith did actually do a very thorough and competant job with his Broken Society document.
I no longer hear the patronising sneering coming from the likes of the Guardian and the BBC. The lurch to the right jibes have been silenced.
Why ? because the truth suddenly burst through the veneer of half truth and propaganda that politicians had hidden it with for years.
There is of course a very very simple solution that cures not only the epidemic of gang, gun and knife culture but addresses that other politician created mess - Iraq & Afghanistan.
It would take about 14 days to recall Parliament and bring to the Statute Book a law that required those found guilty of carrying, let alone using, an offensive weapon with out justification to be sent immediately to the front line in Iraq or Afghanistan.
OK sonny so you think its hard to carry a gun do you, lets see how you hard you are when the person who disses you is a Taliban fighter with an AK47 who is determined to cut you limb from limb and spread the pieces all over the desert.
The little shits would also get their much desired 15 minutes of fame in a video on Al Jazeera being beheaded by a bigger thug than them hacking at their throat with a great big knife, while they screamed for mercy and demanded their rights - justice in deed
The best solutions are always the simplest
Just as long as the wonderful little angels don't endanger the lives of the real brave guys already there, I would agree with you. We could use them as forward recce troops or as spearhead troops so that they could go forward first and identify where the enemy were located.
That would diss them up to the eyeballs.
They would really feel at home you know because they could then legitimately where camouflage clothing and the jackets come with a hood attached.
The more I think about it the more I like the idea.
