   'A teenager has been killed and another is critically injured following a   
   knife attack in north-east London.   
   A 14-year-old boy was stabbed to death and a 15-year-old boy injured in what   
   is thought be an attack involving a large gang of youths.   
      
   The latest attack follows the killing of five other young males in the city   
   in the past two months.   
   It also comes on the day 22-year-old pregnant woman Krystal Hart was shot   
   dead in south London.   
   Scotland Yard said officers were investigating the possibility the shooting   
   was connected with a dispute over parking.   
      
   LONDON'S TEENAGE VICTIMS   
      
   James Andre Smartt-Ford, 16, shot in Streatham, 3 February   
   Michael Dosunmu, 15, shot in Peckham, 6 February   
   Billy Cox, 15, shot in Clapham, 14 February   
   Kodjo Yenga, 16, stabbed in Hammersmith, 14 March   
   Adam Regis, 15, stabbed in Plaistow, 17 March'   
      
      
   In England, the main pumping station of the ideological fantasies of the   
   Left -- outside the Labour Party and the think tanks -- is the BBC. When you   
   watch their news service in the wake of one of the latest youth gun/knife   
   killing, you see how they attempt to plug that gaping, flapping hole in   
   their ideology: the p word and, sometimes, if you're lucky, the r word. They   
   wheel on a black 'community worker' who generally gives a sensible and   
   clear-eyed report: we've warned you, it's kicking off all over, there's   
   going to be more of it. The 'community worker' is then invited to give an   
   explanation of the upsurge and then, instead of being sensible and   
   clear-eyed about the history of the last 25 years, he parrots the Left's   
   explanation: poverty - and poverty never prefixed with the word 'moral'. And   
   of course that other show-stopping, catch-all obfuscator: racism.   
      
    If 'poverty' was the cause of all the mayhem and violence in London right   
   now - one of the richest cities in the world - then why, when London was a   
   lot poorer -- and its poor exceedingly poorer than they are now -- say 50 or   
   60 years ago, wasn't there the huge amount of violence, murder, mayhem and   
   petty crime and antisocial behaviour we see today? Lefties need to riddle   
   that one, and riddle it good. The 'community worker' cannot blame the   
   dismantling of law and order in the inner cities without pondering the   
   recommendations and ramifications of the Scarman report in 1981 and the   
   McPherson Report of 2002. The former effectively recommended that young   
   black criminals should be allowed to get on with their activities providing   
   they didn't cause too much trouble - the abandonment of the 'sus law' which   
   so enraged liberals and people who wanted to carry drugs and weapons with   
   impunity. The McPherson report finished the job of emasculating the police   
   force into an ineffectual, ideologically-motived, culturally Marxist branch   
   of the civil service, the Police *Service* whose sympathies were as often as   
   not with the criminal not the victim - this was the result of Leftist-minded   
   graduates from the 70s deciding that the best way to create a fairer society   
   was to start helping criminals get more rights and the law abiding less.   
   This has been the de facto position of the Labour Party since it ceased to   
   be a genuine working class party in the 1960s and veered towards the mores,   
   agendas and obsessions of the middle-class university Left. The Conservative   
   Party, with their Scarman report and the legal changes which followed it,   
   have been no slouches in that department either.   
      
   The BBC is of course in a difficult position on this kind of crime because   
   it has, wherever it can, championed criminality, social irresponsibility and   
   the dismantling of effective policing in inner cities. It has done it over   
   years of biased documentaries, news reports, interviews and propagandizing   
   drama. That is what you get when your state broadcaster is run by privileged   
   crypto Marxists. The journey to the endless mental and moral wasteground   
   that the urban young inhabit today was driven by liberals, helped by   
   conservatives and finally fast-tracked over the last ten years by a   
   government which is has been the ugly final flowering of the 70s Left in   
   their de-bearded, wealthy, epicurean but nonetheless deeply socially   
   irresponsible late-middle age.   
      
   Meanwhile BBC pumps out its message; the millionaire, champagne social   
   democrat tv journalists fix a look of concern on their faces, pick the   
   politically correct talking heads, extract the politically correct platitude   
   and move on to more comfortable, nebulous area of climate change, the new   
   religion of the middle classes.   
      
   Now, after years of preaching the de facto dismantling of social convention,   
   law and order, and adult authority in general - especially schools and in   
   the family -  the British Government, hypocrites and obstinate ideological   
   fantasists to a man - or woman (let us be politically correct -- the one   
   convention the Left allow nobody to flout) - are now desperately trying to   
   get that genie back in the bottle with ham-fisted legislation and endless,   
   meaningless, vainglorious management-speak. Out in the real world the poor,   
   the very people this government purport to help, suffer the effects of   
   baby-boomers' munificence and wishful-thinking and the genie refuses to go   
   back in the bottle, making life a misery for the many, who live far out of   
   the sight of the privileged few. Meanwhile, as centre-left and right parties   
   continue with their long-term abdication of reason and responsiblity, the   
   villains of the far-right - and in some cases the far-left - see a gap in   
   the market. Watch that space.
