Putting the knife in

The stories of lethal stabbings of young people have been ghastly. No doubt their underlying causes are complex, deep-rooted, and long-standing.

Now Gordon Brown is going to "take action". If he does take measures which end a sub-culture of alienation, then he is to be congratulated. But please don't let him just produce the usual meaningless politician's waffle. The public deserve better.
