Knife Crime in UK (fatherless boys take it to the streets)[Ecumenical]

Knife crime is at epidemic proportions in Britain's inner cities, with an attack of some kind taking place every four minutes. In London alone 21 young people have been stabbed to death this year.

A church group has come up with a new solution. It's reported here. The suggestion is that church leaders should move into crime ridden inner city areas to work with the youths and become role models since most of the boys who stab each other don't have Dads.

Whoops! problem is, since women's ordination the Anglican Church has been turned into a matriarchy remember? Nearly half of Anglican clergy are now female. Besides, the whole church for the most part, has turned its back on patriarchy in favor of feminism.

One thing the report does have right: the anarchy and youth violence in our inner cities is linked to the breakdown of the family. What nobody is daring to say is that the breakdown of the family is linked with contraception, abortion, divorce, promiscuity, homosexuality and feminsim. You can't have it both ways: first you emasculate the men, kick out the fathers, get rid of patriarchy, feminize the faith, then you wring you hands saying, "Oh dear! the young men are so nasty and violent! They should have positive role models! I wonder if those fathers we got rid of are in the attic, and can be dusted off?"

Historically, the Anglo Catholics were the ones who went into Britain's inner city slums, but those who have not already pulled out are about to. The Catholics didn't need to go into the inner city slums. They were already there.

The report also admires Catholics, recognizing the example of the Catholic priests who have moved into the slums in South American cities and got their hands dirty with the roughest and poorest of humanity. Could the positive role models of these courageous priests have anything to do with the fact that the Catholic Church reserves the priesthood to men?

I would have stifled them more, but I was afraid of being arrested.

Must go, Vlad just discovered my library bag full of new story books for him :-).

“US cities are infested with crime. The Mayor of Chicago wants to call in National Guard to deal with their crime problem. The solution? Deport, deport, deport.”

Just to get the facts right here, yes, U.S. cities are infested with crime, including Chicago. Chicago indeed has a large Latino population, many of whom are illegal, as well as a bunch of illegals from other countries also. However, it was not the Mayor that wants to call in the National Guard to deal with crime in Chicago, it was the Governor, Rod Blagojevich, that said he wanted to send in the National Guard. And there’s more to it than meets the eye. Richard Daley, the Mayor of Chicago, didn’t even know the Governor was going to announce this. And there’s politics (of course) behind it.

Gov. Blago is PO’d that Mayor Daley doesn’t support his construction works program for the state,and Blago’s desire to open a new Casino in the state to pay for it. So, in order to knife Mayor Daley in the back with the stiletto, Gov Blago gives the Mayor’s city a black eye and embarrasses him by announcing he wants to send the Nat’l Guard in because the crime problem is so bad. The Gov did this fully knowing that the City of Chicago (through Mayor Daley) has been wooing the Olympics Committee to have the 2016 (I believe) summer Olympics held in Chicago. Just what the Mayor needs is our bigmouth Gov. Blago badmouthing crime in the City while the city is attempting to win the Olympics. What better way to put the kabosh on it than portray Chicago as a totally crime ridden city that needs state intervention to stem it.

So, once again, things in politics are seldom what they seem to be. Gov Blago sure knows how to make political allies. Perhaps that is why his own party (the Dems, who control both state houses) hate him, and why there have been calls to impeach him (he is a crook amongst his other virtues). Oh how I love living in a blue state.

You can bet your last dollar that most of the people committing these crimes are third world immigrants. I know because I research this stuff several times a week. In the UK as in France, they RARELY ever make it clear who did the crime unless it’s a white English man. They use words like “youths” to describe their trouble-making immigrant populations. Again, they try purposely to make it sound like English boys themselves are doing this and not immigrants because much of the English population there is unhappy about the immigrant influx. Trust me on this.

The north-west was not far behind on 48%, but in London - where a higher proportion of young mothers were from the Muslim community - only 34.5% of children were born outside marriage

quite a testament

[Cronos]

Remember, England is only 90% English. It has a large, fast-growing immigrant (third world population.)

So, what? The article said that in parts that have the largest proportion of Muslim immigrants, the number of illegitimate children is far lesser than elsewhere

[Cronos]

My impression when I vacationed there a couple years ago was that it was the indigenous English youth perpetuating many of these types of crimes

Yes and no. In most of England, the immigrants are either Indian, Chinese or Caribbean (all Christians or Hindus or Sikhs or Buddhists or Taoists) and these tend to be more focused on doing well in business and education. The Moos in London and other places are also similarly hard-working. Those in Birmingham tend to not be so peaceful

But you are right -- the local yobs who have a school system that dumbs down kids terribly (worse than the US school system) are the main cause of the trouble

I LIVE in the UK and I can tell you that's completely and utterly false. In France, in the ghettos, yes, but not in the UK as it doesn't have any real ghettoes except in Birmingham.

And, yes, most of the trouble in the UK (and I live in the heavily populated south-east) is due to white youths. These are kids whose schools are a joke, who have a lot of free time on their hands and not enough challenging work and they are the ones causing the problems. Not all white boys, note, just some, but they (yobs and mostly Chavs) are everywhere, causing trouble and general good-for-nothings.

[Cronos]

hmmm... just realised, a lot of Brit slang used in my last post —> chavs are blokes who wear like hip-hop stuff (burberry caps, extremely baggy jeans and the like) while yobs are general lay-a-bouts who’d get knackered if they did an honest hour’s work

I just saw night before last a stat that showed out of 224 stabbings, 144 were done by black youth. I’ve also seen lots of stories recently of gangs of ethnics chasing young English boys down the street and stabbing them to death.

On another note, it sure sounds like the government and Trevor Philips sure don’t like indigenous Brits. He’s made quotes how all cities in Europe should look like Birmingham and London. I watch England fairly closely looking for glimmers of hope that they’ll come to their senses and not to turn the UK into something unrecognizable.

[Cronos]

Perhaps -- I'm telling you from personal experience about the number of yobs I see on the street. HAve you checked how many of those 144 stabbings are black on black crimes in Brixton?

What stories of Ethnics chasing young English boys? NAme one -- there have been inter-racial gang warfare in Birmingham as I said, but elsewhere it is white yobs

London is multi-ethnic, yes, but it is a good example where folks are more interested in making money than making trouble.
