The last two weeks have been rather odd in London with teenagers stabbing one another when they are out in the public. Seems like there are quite a few gangs in London, each postcode has their own and they tend to target other gang members. It is all actually quite pointless and they’re starting to give London a bad reputation.

Boris Johnson, London’s new mayor has had to deal with six cases in the last two weeks alone of teenagers stabbing one another with knives. It must be quite a headache for him to try and sort out; luckily the police have started doing random searches on the streets with metal detectors used in airports to help cut down these incidents. I do not mind someone scanning me to check if I’m carrying a knife because I have no business carrying a knife around with me. It makes me feel safer that the police are doing something about it but unfortunately they can not stop everyone all the time.

You’ll also notice an increase of British Transport Police on the underground, trains and on the busses. These guys do random checks on people as well to make sure all is going smooth which I have no problems with. So folks, try to stay out of trouble and report anything you think is suspicious to help the police sort out this growing trend in London so that we can all live amongst each other.
