From an article published by Agence France Presse (AFP), via yahoo.com, we have this news:
A surge of stabbings in London was blamed Monday for the city overtaking New York’s monthly murder tally for the first time in modern history.
Fifteen people were murdered in London during February, compared to 14 in New York, according to police figures.
The British capital also suffered 22 fatal stabbings and shootings in March, higher than the 21 in New York.
So what will be done about it?
Since the murder weapon of choice in London (when subways are not being blown up and vans are not mowing down pedestrians on the sidewalk) is knifings, should they ban knives? Is there some national trade organization for cutlery that can be condemned? Maybe the National Knifle Association?
Just asking….

Don’t forget about the acid attacks. having acid thrown in your face may not kill you but it makes for a rotten day.
