"But this is the problem, it is not an epidemic. As TedMax has rightly pointed out knife crime levels are no different to last year and yet the media has us currently whipped up into a frenzy over it." Seventeen dead teenagers is pretty bad, whether it's the same as last year or not.
I think this knife crime epidemic is horrific. However, those advocating fleeing to the Shires beware. This sort of thing does happen everywhere (although I'm already worried about where my little boy will be going to school if I don't get rich soon).
"It helps to foster a sense of community if people can go watch big sporting events together." I was hoping this would be the case with the CPT but it was dead for the FA Cup and for the Euro games I saw there. Before the Grove in Camberwell was ruined the public bar was brilliant for sport. Nothing has come close for atmosphere since.

This sounds about right to me. Not always a bad thing, I love the Raconteurs and the Kings of Leon.

It must be even more miserable being a Dutch fan than being and England fan. Being one of the favourites for every tournament and cocking it up every time. It would be nice if Spain beat Italy.
I have a horrible feeling that Spain will come a cropper on Sunday. Italy just know how to win these games, they've had their bad patch and got through it. I hope I'm wrong.
