British press stepping up drumbeat for knife control

Posted by David Hardy · 17 July 2008 02:37 PM

Scaring people increases circulation, and that increases ad revenue, so

The Daily Mail's headline is "Thugs committing 350 knife assaults EVERY DAY, as blade menace spreads to rural areas."

Times Online is more moderate: "Crime falls, but stabbings not just an urban problem."

The Telegraph leads with: "One person is a victim of knife crime every four minutes."

Not to mention: "Nike Air Stab trainer withdrawn after spate of knife murders."

I wonder when the newspapes will notice that folks have figured out that newspapers can be trivially converted into weapons.
