a short monograph on knife crime in ireland and britain

There is no knife crime in Ireland and Britain.
There are gang wars in Ireland and Britain.
The reason that hundreds of teenagers are being stabbed to death annually on the streets of London is that major mafias (including IRA factions, along with Cosa Nostra, Chinese Triads, the Russian mob, South American Zetas, MS13, and the Muslim Brotherhood's various Al Qaeda and Isis franchises) now routinely mentor teenagers as proxy operators for drug dealing, extortion, rape, revenge, torture and murder.
The teenagers themselves form somewhat independent skang gangs whose posed independence provides convenient cover to the Mafias who direct them.
Thus the use of teenagers and children as foot soldiers gives the Mafias a tier of separation from those carrying out their crimes against humanity.
This plausible deniability with regard to the mayhem they are inflicting on us should now cease.
The solution is not to search every single teenager in London for knives as advocated by the faux humanitarians of Sky News and the Metropolitan Police.
The solution is to go to war with the Mafias.
Bring the Mafias onto the map.
Name them.
Map them.
Analyse them.
Express opinions about them.
Create a vocabulary for public discourse about them.
Make them the news.
Anathematise them.
And then.
End them.
The wars of the future will be mafia.
