Knife crime stats up to 2011-2012 in London..

http://www.citizensreportuk.org/news...-2007-to-2012/

According to this, there were 14,170 reported knife crimes in 2011-12 in London, which is approx.39 per day on average, and in Greenwich (which is the borough Woolwich is in) there were 396, or just over one per day on average.

I didn't have a link, but I was sure I'd heard from media recently that at least 1 per day was common.

Any of those 14 000 involve a beheading or attempted decapitation, in broad daylight in the high street, if not then nidge is right, none of them were on that scale.

A York mosque dealt with a potentially volatile situation after reports that it was going to be the focus of a demonstration organised by a far-right street protest movement - by inviting those taking part in the protest in for tea and biscuits.

Around half a dozen people arrived for the protest, promoted online by supporters of the EDL. A St George's flag was nailed to the wooden fence in front of the mosque.

However, after members of the group accepted an invitation into the mosque, tensions were rapidly defused over tea and plates of custard creams, followed by an impromptu game of football.
Nicely done.

We need more of this sort of thing - 'rent-a-mobs' on both sides are responsible for much of the violence and aggression.

1 no. protestor partook in the tea and biscuits

1 no. protestor (don't know if it was the same one) accepted an invitation to look around the mosque.

Don't get me wrong, it was the right thing to do, but it wasn't a football game between the trenches.

Nice PR coup however.

NO you want to practice Sharia law Pee off to somewhere it is practiced.

This is Great Britian our law under the Crown.

This guy was in the Sunday Telegraph last Sunday (page 5), and to me, is showing the height of disrespect towards Lee Rigby.

He was reported as being a Captain in the SAS, but is wearing a Royal Marine No. 2 Dress Jacket, a RAF shirt, is carrying a RM No. 1 hat, has both RM and SAS badges on his lapels (if you are one of 'Them', you don't wear your original unit badges), and has a RAF unit badge on his arm. He also has no rank badges, and some strange bling on his right breast pocket.

He seems to me to be a 'Walt' - it's strange enough pretending to be/have been in the Forces, but to do so after such a horrific incident seems to be in exceedingly poor taste.

Agreed, if they want Sharia law then they can **** off to a country where Sharia law is practised.

Bloody Walt's they dishonour all real soldiers who have done there time and done real service, and it makes my blood boil to think he turned up dressed like that at the spot a real soldier was killed. :mad:

Too right. I'll even offer my services to fly the plane that takes them all there.
