British Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown

and London’s Tory Mayor Boris Johnson were both

heckled, booed, and shouted down by many of the

estimated 12½ to 15 thousand marchers at Britain’s

1st Anti-Knife March held at Hyde Park on the last

day of England's quite dreary summer, 2oo8.

Though Saturday's march was thankfully met

with such a glorious and perfectly sunny day.

=_=

Both politicians spoke by pre-recorded video messa-

ges to the racially-mixed crowd that included grieving

parents of killed children who became murder victims

of the prevailing and spiralling knife and gun culture

among all too many of today’s ghettoised and mar-
ginalized black, Asian and Carribean youth gang

members and blue-collar white hoodies who often-

times reside at the worst postcodes of London.
=_=

My first thoughts upon attending the march

were what a sad and telling commentary it is of the

kind of broken society that modern England has now

become when thousands of people feel the urgent need

to march against the onslaught of youth knife, gun,

and violent crime. Such has become the staple diet

of many immigrant and Asian enclaves in especially

England’s capital city of London.
=_=

What good the march will do to stop all the knife and gun

crime by such streetwise and alienated youth is another

question. But for now, the anti-knife march was an astound-

ing, a very painful, and a deeply-emotional event all by

itself for those who came to speak out and march against

more deaths and stabbings and violence against

kidz by other kidz.

Some of the grieving parents of killed children.

I was particularly moved by the personal tragedy

I saw in the faces and words of those parents with

murdered children. I wiped my eyes at the utter

grief and loss of one elderly black grandmother who

poignantly spoke of her 14 year-old grandson who

was recently stabbed and killed in broad daylight

by other black London youths.

She also held up high the small photograph of her

nice and beloved grandson to the 1000's at Hyde Park

who stood quietly and respectfully to hear her sad and

heartfelt story and deep loss of the cutdown life and

vicious death of, I believe, her only grandchild. I

stood just feet away from the lady herself as she

spoke of her now broken dreams for him ...

My reaction to the march was also saying to myself

that we wouldn’t be having such an anti-knife march if

Britain’s New Labour Government hadn’t first opened

the mindless human floodgate of mass immigration that

has brought with it the ever-growing endemic of such

savage knife and gun crime by immigrant gangstra and

hip-hop youth to this England that never before had

such a huge and growing and unmanageable black

sub-culture and racial underclass like it does today.

=_=

In fact, the Teddy Boys and juvenile delinquents, and

later the Skinheads, of my own English youth of 50

years ago now look like proper and posh prep school

boys against today’s young and vicious savages of

London street death and violent crime. Street gangs

of young wayward teens and bad hoodies results from

a severe breakdown of parents, schools, and legitimate

authority toward such youths. And, it's not going

to get any better any time soon ...

Aside from the above shown lone member

of the "Guardian Angels," who some say are

vigilantes in disguise, the march heard from

speakers like British actress Brooke Kinsella,

whose 16 year old brother Ben was stabbed to

death 3 months ago in London; Tony Parsons,

Linda Robson, New Labour's police minister

Tony McNulty, and Met Police Commander

Mark Simmons, who didn't mince his police

words from what I heard him say. He stated

that over 3,000 youths and young adults had

been recently arrested with knives and guns

in the concerted crackdown by the British

police against such weapons-carrying idiots.

=_=
The Anti-Knife marchers also demanded more

police action against knives, but a number of

other speakers said that it was more important

that parents themselves and the local community

take real steps to reigned in their childrens' bad

behaviour and lifestyle. One speaker also called

for the community to police itself and that if he

was elected to public office he'd even "hang"

knife killers for murder ... Blimey, next

they'll hire their own hangman, I guess.

At times during the two-hour, non-stop, performance
of speeches and singing, I was perplexed and abit vexed
to see a comedian hosting such a sombre event. I was

perturbed, too, by the cocky and glib black comedian

Richard Blackwood, who hosted the various presenta-

tions at the gathering of all the marchers. He seemed

to speak more about the affirmation of his own black

culture and child rearing more than mourning the loss

of such murdered young people by the dangerous

sprees of knife and gun crime at "the 'hoods" of London

and elsewhere in broken England. Oh, and the booed

Gordon Brown says "England isn't broken." Well,

sir, be sure to first take a good look at yourself ...

is what I say.

I came away from the anti-knife march
thinking that perhaps some good may come
out of it, but nothing will come from it I'm
afaid until the youth culture itself is changed,
which is highly unlikely in England's mania
for "just do it" at the expense of others and
the ingrained belief that the individual is
supreme over and above the collective
quality of the society we all live in.
=_=
As for remedies to such youth knife and gun
crime that plagues us all, I believe we need to
re-establish the system of Bostals for young
criminals that was abolished in Britain, like
the use of the traditional school cane, at the
turn of the 1980's. Bostals should be made
tough and rigorous and turn delinquent boys
into responsible and law-abiding men. In
America, they're called "Boot Camps"
there instead.
=_=
As for sending such alienated youths to the army,
such is sheer nonsense since all too many of those
violent youths cannot read and write let alone speak
proper English. Many speak in what is called "Black
or immigrant English" that rejects gammer and
correctly-spoken English. It isn't "kool" to speak the
language that way among the knife and gun-toting
gangs, I'm told. So what use would they be to the
British military? Absolutely, none. They'd be a
big hindence, not a help. Plus, the British Army
doesn't want such criminal recruits anyway and it
doesn't want to be a "military nanny" for such poor
material to enter today's modern fighting service.
=_=
The British Army is already overstretched to almost
breaking point and munity in Afghanistan and Iraq.
So big and tough re-established Bostals would soon
send a very needed message to such vile characters
that their murderous game is up and their street
time, too. Bang them away and let them out when
their cycle of violence and crime has been tamed
and thrashed out of them ... Perhaps, then we could
all march in celebration at Britain's first "Street
Gang Free Society." It's only a dream, I know ...

Peace march against knife crime.

For the BBC to state there was only over a 1,000 marchers is

absurd ... I asked one of the police observers to tell me what

the police estimated was the crowd. He stated to me, has I

was leaving the march, that they had estimated such to be

at "between 12½ and 15 thousand people" at Hyde Park.

I had my own figure of about 10,000, but knowing how

good the Met is at estimating crowd numbers I used the

figures I was told at the closing moments of the march.

The police are more likely to slightly undercount than

deliberately overcount by their overall conservative

estimates, too. The BBC-TV was right next to me and

if they saw only a crowd of over a 1,000, then the

police must be pretty blind after all and also me.

So get yourself a pair of good specs, BBC man ...
