In the UK, the Crown Prosecution Service now predominantly view stabbing someone as a non custodial sentence, not least because a lot of the stabbers have their own problems such as poverty, drug addiction and being abused themselves as children.
In the period 2007/8, over 400 people were stabbed a week, of which 277 people were stabbed to death in England and Wales for which only 2 people got the maximum 4 years imprisonment, the majority of the rest got suspended sentances or community service orders.
In London, you now stand a greater chance of being stabbed than being injured in a road accident.
So if you’re about to be stabbed, you’re better off using your last minutes of having unpierced flesh on a Navman looking for the nearest A&E rather than calling for help from the Police – because to them, you’re just more bloody paperwork (don’t blame them, blame the CPS).
Scare mongering? Use you rights of Freedom of Information – ask your local Magistrates Court: Of all the people convicted of stabbing someone in 2008 – what percentage received a suspended sentence or criminal service order? – you’ll be horrified.
If you’re the sort of person that likes stabbing people, and to your horror you find that some do-gooder has gone and handed over your favourite twelve inch kitchen knife in some Police Amnesty, fret not.
Pop yourself down to your local Morrisons Supermarket etc and before long you’ll be given a FREE stainless steel, stay sharp vegetable knife as part of a ‘demonstration’.
Supermarkets regard themselves as ‘controlled, safe environments’. Take one controlled environment and add one unstable person. Now take one controlled environment with an unstable person in it and give away thirty stainless steel knives. Now hope you’re not shopping there at the time.
These knife giveaways lack basic common sense intelligence, they’re totally needless and promoted by companies that put profit making gimmicks before the welfare of the community living around their stores. If you’re in a store and this ‘potential’ weapon giveaway takes place – complain.
Giving away knives is a stabbing waiting to happen and the first supermarket shown to be the supplier of a weapon used in the stabbing of one of its customers deserves to face prosecution as an accomplice.

Rainy winters snug by the fire, sunny hot summers like Spain growing olives, grapes, lemons and limes; this is climate change - don't listen to them - they're talking bollocks.

WELL DONE PIERRE
A big thank you to Pierre, Jean Paul, Luc and Marco, the four Froggie fishermen for starving Britain of goods over the last few days - that's not 'French' at all is it?
