Shame the video I posted of this yesterday was removed
Angels, always smile, future footballers and doctors, etc etc
The fact I have to watch an ad for a gambling platform before watching this. 💀
We gotta do something about all these young men brandishing machetes up and down the country. We should learn from Glasgow which had very high levels of violent crime in 1990s.
>The VRU, which is directly funded by the Scottish government and has an arms-length relationship with Police Scotland, was later rolled out across Scotland. It has adopted a public health approach to knife crime, in which the police work with those in the health, education and social work sectors to address the problem. The results so far have been dramatic.
Obviously the wrong station for this, it’s supposed to be boxing only at this one.
*apologies for the Dad joke.
I had a conversation with a colleague about gang violence and teenagers with machetes on an estate in London. First hand info from a relative who regularly deals with this as a police officer. My colleague told me I was making it up. My relative said some people don’t believe something exists unless they see it for themselves, which my colleague hadn’t.
“Fighting” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. I guess posturing wouldn’t have made much of a headline.
These patrolling London stations soon.
Oh I saw cops walking away with five zombie knives in Croydon once. It was an eye opener
Never go north of the Thames, that’s the bad part of town.
Why the fuck does the Tweet of a GB News bellend feature so prominently in the article? Standard now just fully going for the gammon crowd?
Is this the same one there was a thread about from a witness earlier?

Thank you for circling where the machete is, I was struggling to see it in the image without it!
But I thought carrying large knives out in public was illegal? How could this happen?
Huge problem with violent teenage boys who then become violent men. Future is looking bleak.

This is my local train station. I walk past these very same boys EVERYDAY. The station stinks of spliff puff as they smoke right at the entrance.
They also purposefully occupy the majority of the entrance getting in the way of innocent commuters and school children.
I have thought about confronting them a few times and blissfully assumed that they, at the very least, would not be armed.
Whilst I do have sympathy for the lost youth, the solutions are all long term. My concern is that in the short term an innocent child or father trying to stick up for his family will get killed by these stupid kids who in 10 years time will either be dead, in jail or likely be reminiscing about how stupid they were at this stage of their lives and how lucky they were to have escaped that life.
All that said, I want them gone for good.
What shocks me the most is how they don’t give a fuck about cameras, witnesses, etc.
I did see a punch up between 2 limo drivers in Bloomsbury 2 weeks ago, broad daylight. Very strange
I’ve lived and worked in London my whole life and in decades I’ve never seen any knife violence or muggings personally, though obviously they exist. What I have seen forever is people shouting and squaring up to each other outside pubs late and night. Maybe 3 or 4 times a year now, but almost every week in the 80s. I suspect that drop is more about my habits and haunts than a lessening in violence.
Queensbury Rules Slicing
Sadly, in London this act does not seem shocking at the moment. A teen with a sword stabbed someone 20 times on a train in Beckenham last year, they were acquitted as it was claimed to be an act of self defence. You dont know who is carrying, its scary but you just keep your head down.
All the white middle class coke heads doing lines off their dining room table, talking about how terrible these gangs are, what’s causing the violence eh?
That’s norra noife…
Honestly, stop and search and tightening of knife/bladed weapon carrying laws is the only thing that’ll reduce this. People saying stop and search is racist or can be racist ignore the fact that poorer immigrant families or historically underfunded communities (mostly people of colour) will be the people most affected by poverty and then more likely to engage in criminal activities. It’s not a skin colour/cultural issue, it’s a historically economic racist issue. Stop and search is simply a tool to try and reduce this.
Don’t get me wrong there are of course racist police officers but economic decisions over decades if not a century has caused this….
Stop and search is needed. If Keir Starmer is a real Blairite go on and do it.
Just copy the Middle East and Asia, it’s harsh but it’ll save lives and make the streets safer. Have to put the people away and give them hard time otherwise we won’t have a country left.
I grew up in London ,and as a child at age 7 , I was all over London and surrounding areas back in the late 70’s and early 80’s. Never once did I feel in danger. I visited a while back and was in absolute shock and how London has changed and not for the better.
Such a shame they did not adhere to Queensberry rules whilst duelling at Queensbury station….
