The post you are reporting:
Real evidence for post 8 can be found in online BBC reports concerning the impressive rise in gun crime in London (almost 50% in 2009), and the rise in knife crime in London by about 8% in 2010.
As for young women being attacked, news-papers and TV are the norm when supplying sources, and should be considered real evidence here in Britain. Violent crime is on the rampage in Britain, and not to intervene thouroughly would mean that chaos would increase, in particular if the message becomes clear that the Police are being reduced in numbers and that violent crime is often going unpunished due to lack of Police resources.
As for Afghanistan, the ongoing massacre of British soldiers in Afghanistan is a bloodstain to our Country, a sheer sacrifice of our soldiers to a foreign cause, a mockery of our Nation!
It began with bullshit about training Afghan police, and then went on to fighting the war of some Afgan tribal government against other Afghans.
The Soviet army in 1978 intervened in Afghanistan exactly like that, to train Afghan soldiers to fight rebels, and then they ended up in a war of combat exactly like our troopers are doing now in Afghanistan, fighting armed men in their own country, and losing their own comrades, and returning to their home in the Soviet Union with blown off limbs, or in a coffin.
Our Army has gone the same way! This is the evidence. Afghanistan isn't worth the life of one British soldier! I couldn't give a toss if Afghan women wear burkas or trousers!
