- I've been an active participant on a discussion group over on Facebook about the rising level of gun and knife wielding gangs. You can read that thread if you have a Facebook account by going to this link:

Right now I feel it appropriate to say that the first installment of Disarming Britain and the Dispatches show before it on Channel 4 tonight were stunning insights into the whole rise of gun culture. They explored life within gun and knife wielding gangs and many of the methods being used to police/reduce them. They included former gang members who had been injured or wounded others and a doctor from a busy A&E ward addressing the horror faced by victims in the last throws of life. There are as stated in the blurb for Disarming Britain 'unflinching' Q&A's with armed gangs and most chillingly of all, a young man brandishing a pistol and saying; 'This one's for you Gordon Brown' and 'Fuck the police!' This confirmed a point Bruce, Kimberly and I discussed on the thread up above about there being political motivation behind some gun/knife culture across the UK.
If the rest of Disarming Britain is like this it should win deserved awards.
