When I was bullied at school, all I really had to worry about was words or maybe a punch!! I cannot believe what it would be like to be in fear of a Knife and or death !!!!
I live in the Caribbean. Never owned a gun. Never used a knife outside of the kitchen. Nor has my twenty year old son. Took him to martial arts to deal with any bullies. Worked like a charm!
What's going on with you folks??????
The last throws of a doomed society ?
Make sure you Brits keep supporting Noel Clarke and his "TopBoy" and etc ... While asking silly questions. Stormzy and the likes of the labels who present these grotesque people are to blame too but especially Noel Clarke everything he writes and directs influences idiots to pick up weapons and pack the prison system yet TV stations buy his products and present them to the UK especially London.
Guns are infesting the Caribbean. No one uses knives to commit murders and robberies.
@@wrexshuntCaribbean girl here, teaching an Englishman English???? I think you mean "throes".
Ah well! I do have a British birth certificate. 😊
@@matthewsocal2540 Nobody threw a knife.
Condolences to the family RIP 🙏🏾 🕊
We all carried knives but never with an intention of hurting another person (1970s)
Same today, a small slip joint for daily tasks. Not them Rambo ones.
Still do if you have just about any sort of job in the trades. I don't really understand people carrying knives for protection without any training.
Some heartbreaking stories , the shutting down of youth clubs and community centres is masive contributer .. playing football , pool , making music with other youth clubs from different areas in a safe space brought local lads from different postcodes and schools together
Some of the facilities were closed because kids wrecked the places and threatened the staff, do your research.
name me some places that were wrecked?@@lestrem11
@@lestrem11 Nope a majority were close just like Library's Because of Tory Austerity, they just dont fund councils anymore for this kind of community work
Do 'your' research!
@@lestrem11-Well I can tell you the facilities and agencies where I live were closed down because of the removal of funding.
@@alimantado373
There wre no youth clubs near me when I was a kid and neither me, nor my mates, never carried knives or stabbed anyone.
The sad thing about this is that apparently the girl who died was apparently protecting her friend😢 so she died for her friend
Yep, a sad tragedy, these criminals are insane
@@Craig121000
and yet the man who's job it is to tackle knife crime represents the Labour Party.
@@trytellingthetruth.2068 So are you saying Sunak is part of the Labour party or that Kahn is the PM?
@@Craig121000
You obviously don't know who's job it is to deal with crime (including knife crime) in London.
@@TheDom277
Do you know who's job it is to deal with crime in London ?
Here's a clue, no it isn't Sunak.
Its worth keeping in mind the boy that killed this girl, was trying to get his ex girlfriend back. Its also a crime of misogyny.
This wasn't about fear but this boy felt entitled to his ex and murdered her brave friend that died protecting her.
Heart breaking
I 100% agree. Why is this made to be a problem of gang violence???! Maybe the boy even took the knife with him to punish his ex if she said no. I am a survivor of male violence and I think this incident was misogyny once again...
decriminalizing/legalizing drugs in line with Dr. Nutt's suggestion would massively defund criminal gangs, the associated violence for money-generating 'territory' and the cycle/spiral leading to kids arming themselves
This weren't about drugs, he shanked the yat over a dis.
@@TruthTortoise81 locally it was reported the girl didnt accept a gift of flowers, and i saw footage of the flowers at the crimescene, so not sure about the 'diss'... the question i was answering is James O'Briens title @How knife carrying became normal?' and i can assure you a multibillion pound industry largely in the hands of kids, teenagers, and 20-somethings (who started as kids) has a huuuge part to play
@@TruthTortoise81 You going to be employed with that lingua! Grow up!
@@TruthTortoise81probably had the knife because he's seen olders carrying knives, or heard drill artists talking about wetting ops, both of those scenarios are likely related to drugs.
Back in August 2021 a man threatened doorstaff and customers with a machette outside a club in Liverpool. He was fined £150...
What about a man who is a martial arts master squaddie who threatens someone. Do they get fined more or less than this guy? Unless someone is bleeding or has a heart attack I don't think you have a point.
@@jamesrowden303 What?
I was commenting on the OP implicitly saying that threatening someone with a knife cost *only* 150 quid fine, and saying that sounds about right. Mmmkay?@@bethanp3453
@@jamesrowden303you sound like an American when trying to defend their gun crime culture
Read carefully: Well, you sound like you don't understand what I am saying. I don't think knives should be carried. I don't think guns should be carried unless there is a really, really, really good, professional reason. I do think threats should be prosecuted. I don't think the actual punishments currently available need to be strengthened. I hope that makes my point clearer.@@joemunkey
I carried two knives. I found them both, one on a bus, one in a sports field. I had no idea how serious that was, just thought I was cool. 36 years later I see younger me as a different person, one that was ignorant and stupid. Luckily I outgrew that and nobody got hurt.
if your school has failed you,
if your community is divided and you don't know you neighbours,
if your role models that adults in your world prop up have no integrity,
if your parents are overworked and also think an ipad is a babysitter,
if social media is pushing your hormone buttons by design,
if your experience of the police/rhetoric about policing in your area is bad,
then you might feel vulnerable enough to carry a knife
As an American listener, this is terrifying as a parent. With that said, it is so much worse than you can imagine.
for how small britain is i can imagine every crime must have alot more personal impact on communities. wishing the best for all of you in britain as always.
Britain is small but densely populated, like say, Japan.
London alone has basically twice the population of Ireland.
These stabbings r all happening in little england not Scotland, NIreland or Wales.
68 million isn't small lol
@@annemoncrieff3875 WHY IS THAT? C'mon, don;t be shy..tell us as it is!
@@joemunkey geographically it's a small country...I believe he meant it geographically, but it's still pretty sizeable for an island.
Knife carrying became "normal" in the UK (among certain demographics anyway) for the same reason gun carrying became normal in the USA and the same reason nuclear proliferation is a thing: because if you fear the other guy has one then you feel obliged to have one yourself so as not to be disadvantaged should things kick off. So, the question is: how do you end an arms race?
How do you explain why white people don’t carry knives?
@@lestrem11 Just because you can be reasonably confident that most other white people aren't carrying knives either. If that changes, white people will carry knives like anyone else.
It's a vicious circle. Once it's in a culture, it's incredibly difficult to get people to stop, because not carrying a knife would mean choosing to go out unarmed into a zone where most others are packing, and that's a death-wish.
And people don't learn from tragic and pointless deaths. Just look at America. Every mass shooting and school shooting is used as an excuse to say they should arm more people, not less.
The only way to stop it now is probably to make it impractical to go out carrying a knife - put detectors on the entrances to as many places as possible - communities, shops, food outlets, pubs, clubs, everywhere - so anyone who's carrying a knife can hardly go anywhere without setting alarms off.
@@lestrem11But they DO!
Make sure you Brits keep supporting Noel Clarke and his "TopBoy" and etc ... While asking silly questions. Stormzy and the likes of the labels who present these grotesque people are to blame too but especially Noel Clarke everything he writes and directs influences idiots to pick up weapons and pack the prison system yet TV stations buy his products and present them to the UK especially London.
@@lestrem11I had a white guy pull a knife on me in Brixton last November 🤷♂️
Police in Victoria AU have the right to stop and search at any time and penalties for carrying weapons are heavy. This has reduced knife crime greatly. We have plenty of prisons for the slow of uptake. The chances of being searched are high because the number of 'Police' is much higher when you count the many auxiliaries.
This is not the way forward. The main root causes of violent crime are poverty, economic inequality and drug trafficking. All your solution does is lock up people and ruin their lives without dealing with the underlying cause. The only way we can deal with this issue is by creating a fairer society where wealth is distributed more equally, poverty is eliminated, people feel less alienated from their communities and the war on drugs is ended.
at least you guys don't have a National Knife Association protecting "Knife Rights"
It’s a sorry state of affairs that America does… or at least it’s own unique and deadlier version. Stay safe, friend
It will come if James has his way.
What are you on about, James is anti-knives not pro. In what alternative fact universe would he advocate for the right to carry concealed knives? SMH. @@lestrem11
in America we have a thing called the National Rifle Organization that does jus that@@jamesrowden303
I live in the US and when my son was around15,16 he started carrying a knife in his backpack 🎒 and has carried a knife with him ever since. And I keep a knife in my car just in case of a carjacking. It's sad that people are starting to carry small weapons with them at all times
my grandad gave me a pocket knife when i was 9, i am now 60+ and have always carried one they are a very usefill tool , never have i stabbed or wanted to stab someone , it,s your enviroment and your self respect that keeps you on the stright and narrow, take that away from people and what do you expect.
The difference is you've never been stopped and searched for it I'm assuming. You're also assuming others that carry knives want to use them. The reason you haven't felt the need to stab someone with your knife is because you're probably the only one carrying a knife. Now add hundreds of people carrying a knife like yours and that quickly could change
Was your pocket knife equipped with a 6" carving knife? I don't think so.
Pocket knives are for survival in the sense of survival skills: making a bed of twigs and leaves in the wilderness, how to roast a hedge hog, exciting adventure. The Swiss army had these famous pocket knives. Scouts carry pocket knives. Carrying knives as a weapon is imported. Traditionally swords were carried around and an occasional butchers' knife was used for crime.
all the laws are there in our country. it's just there is no one to enforce them, sentence and imprison perpetrators
Congratulations James, you've just come to understand the issue with guns in the States.
the answer is never blocking the access to knives thats silly, the're everwhere! the problem is always human, with rough upbrinings abcent dads and violence in their lives.
Nah
Savage parents - savage kids
Got rid of all the comunity outreach and local police officers, closed all the youth clubs. I used to play table tennis at the youth club back in the 90s, maybe a game of rounders and they'd show me some woodworking. Now they get glamourised roadman lifestyle through music and fly around on scooters looking for something to do.
Why is the news just making London look bad when there lot more towns like this
Posh James in his gated community, clutching his pearls and wondering why he can't save the world. "Oh if only we had more community! More nurturing!" 😂
Knife crime is endemic to your cities it is cultural and now that culture has spread to melbourne where street gangs are holding because other gangs have knives. Stabbings are occurring with greater frequency.
Ha, have you seen Chopper.
Its ridiculous to blame Australian crime on the UK.
Crime started in conjunction with county lines in the UK did it! 🤡🤡
Sad thing is that those that use guns/knives purposely and responsibly will be the only ones that'll have them taken away
How did you arrive at that logic?
@@droptheleash1992 in order to have a firearm I have to satisfy a raft of rules and regulations. I use a knife in the field as a necessary tool. If I am no longer allowed to do so -I won't... to my knowledge most drug dealers/scumbags wouldn't be deterred by any changes to the law and as such the likes of myself and other law abiding individuals who pose no threat to society will be the only ones to suffer. I would be a strong advocate for stiffer penalties on existing laws
Did the second caller just allow his son to carry a knife? Mental
Instead of bringing in laws on protest, the Tories should be fighting crime but they don't care because it doesn't affect their kids like so many other things in the country that don't affect them we want a government that works for the country, not for their mates

Once it becomes normal for people to carry knives it seems inevirtable that somebody is going to be stabbed.
It was completely normal for people to carry knives years ago and there weren’t mass stabbings.
As a child I and all my friends carried pen knives and used them all the time. From sharpening pencils to whittling it was normal.
@@murph8411I don’t think it was normal, maybe you did as a child but I didn’t know any children carrying, aside from one school boy who went on to assault a teacher.
@@murph8411 There's utilitarian knives, as in Swiss army knife type knives, and there's knives as in two foot long machete knives designed to inflict fatal injury.
10 year automatic jail Sentence when caught with a Blade in Public.
Workers must carry knives in a locked tool box.
No Excuses.
The Law is too soft on serious crime, when it only affects Working Class People.
What are the laws regarding knives in Britain?
When children see their parents crying due to: having to wait 6 wks + with no money from the state, see their carers being harassed over unpaid bills, being unable to clothe their children or bring food into the home. When they see the public walking past the destitute on the streets as if they don't exist, see the hopelessness of older offspring/peers and then see the prosperity of others whose only comment on their struggle is the "the politics of envy", then these children learn the psychopathy of not having empathy for others and the primacy of 'might is right' and the social Darwinism of survival of the fittest. Liberals and RWers will clutch their pearls but they will never admit how hopeless society has become for so many.
Get a job duck 👍
There's a bizarre mono culture that's taken hold of gen z's (black american hip-hop culture + white uk chav culture with a bit of tate/peterson thrown in) propagated by social media. Add that in to the socio-economic background we find ourselves in and its no surprise we are in this state.
Please let people speak.
Maybe even the playing field and allow everyone to carry a knife.
Would knowing that someone else has one make people consider no pulling theirs out?
Just a thought.
so.....James did know that carrying knives is a British thing
even in America, where we can have weapons of almost any kind, we don't carry knives
it's an British cultural expression
Peaky Blinders in the 1920s?
Victorian gangs?
all knife wielders
Highwaymen of Wales and Scotland used PISTOLS, but city folk are knife wielders
Per capita the US has nearly three times the rate of knife crime than the UK.

I feel proud to be Dutch when I see the arrest team entering the Erasmus Medical Centre in their own jeans and on sneakers. The fastest way to get there: just quickly put the police gear over the cloths you wear at the moment. Because it is profoundly Dutch to always, always prevail pragmatism. We are taught to think . To think for ourself. Speak up. Create your own solution. Never glorify someone or something. Can bring tears to my eyes when I see it displayed in the news.
Imagine if the Police could stop and search people like when I grew up in 80s.
They do, and mores so. Also its not 'people' its black people and to assume all black people are involved in knife crime is stupid and racist. Any sociologist/criminologist will know its a person of a certain sex, age and locality who will be involved in minor opportunistic petty crime.

@@lestrem11 Oh, Suella Braverman?
All of these stories are heartbreaking. There seems be a serious underlining issue within the young generation. This is the future of this wonderful country. There seems to be a lack of respect, accountability, values and discipline with youth of today. Something along the lines of national service needs to be brought in to achieve some kind of law and order.
There's less and less hope in the lives of young people today, especially poorer children. Poverty and lack of opportunities can go a long way to pushing people to make decisions they shouldn't.
The only way to stop the knife carriers is to use stop and search, If the ‘Community’ doesn’t support that then best they get used to the carnage occurring within their midst…
knives are useful tools, not weapons. Depending on your job here are plenty of legitimate reasons to carry a knife. Society in britain has created this fear culture where people who legitmately use knives have to live in fear of being arrested. That said, there is no reason for school children to carry knives and my heart goes out to the victims of knife crime but the problem is the culture, not the knives.
Thia guy knows nothing about knife crime and how it happened. Be serious. We know fatherlessness leads to criminality. He's so out of touch with reality it's shocking. ITS A PARENTING PROBLEM
Thanks James for advocating no more stop and search - you caused knife crime
Tory bot.
@@saintjimmy456 no I’m a anti-knife crime bot 🤖
I suppose if you are a guy in a society where every guy there has a knife, you are going to feel very exposed and vulnerable if you don't have one. Maybe if the powers that be got off their arses and provided job opportunities and a lhfe path to young people.
I can't remember reading about people carrying knives and killing each other because they didn't have a job during the Great Depression.
It's always someone else's fault, isn't it?
Plenty of work here, some people don’t want it. Try again child.
@@trytellingthetruth.2068Wha!? The great depression was full of illegal activity and violence? Are you kidding? That's all it was. That's what has happened throughout human history when society has had to compete for resources. Communities turn on each other. It's a socio economic problem. People who are comfortable, stable and secure don't go around stabbing each other.
@@bethanp3453
The point I'm making which obviously went over your head is, we"re not in a depression, and there's plenty of work around. Haven't you heard those on the left think we need mass immigration because of the jobs others don't want to do.
I see people in the comments statung this is a Black problem. It isn't.
It's a poverty problem.
I grew up in Glasgow at the peak of the plague of Scottish knife crime and it was caused by poor males (white males) using violence as a way for them to feel like they had respect.
Since those days in the 80s and 90s the knife crime in Central Scotland is far lower than usual due to a huge government initiative at the time that put police focus on the matter and reinforced the message that it's 5 years in prison for just possessing a knife in public.
We need to do this and work on reducing income unequality if we want the problem to disappear.

...snails get knocked off of leafs all the time... 🤔 Getting dizzy is a result from unexpected (or even expected but abnormal) motion; The sensory organs can't keep up with the kind of changes in motion which causes dizzyness (or at least that's my understanding). I would suspect a snail can get dizzy (in that sense) when the antennae are overstimulated? Not sure if that would happen when falling, or if that would result in an upset digestive system, but there's my 2 cents. 😁

Knife carrying has been going on since I was in school and Im class of 84'
WE used to be allowed knives (Swiss Army) in school and was like your first watch everybody had one.
Difference is now, little or no Police to even attend any crime.

Knifes with a blade less than 3 inches, without a locking blade are legal in the UK…unless I’m reading the law and misinterpreting it. Am I wrong?

Knife crime has always been a problem, Labour didn't do much about violence on our streets when they were in power. It is a cultural issue for some young black people to carry knives, no father figure, family breakdown and the environment. Mr Khan the Labour London Mayor, any ideas as it has happened again in your capital? It's not all about youth clubs and facilities, it starts with the family. You are not going to eradicate knife crime, I know from first hand experience!
I didn't like this segment, nor the one yesterday on kids not going to school in higher numbers, simply for the fact that there is no suggestion of responsibility for anyone.
"It's not the parent's fault. You don't understand how hard it is to parent. It's not the kid's fault. You don't understand how hard it is to be a kid." There's no point in these discussions where anyone takes responsibility for anything. Things go wrong and none of us are responsible. It's an institution. It's cultural. It's everything else other than ourselves. Cultural factors, lack of education, poor institutions are certainly factors but why is there no acknowledgement of personal responsibility, too?
If only there was some kind of stop and search to help this situation…surely nobody would object
you people act like stop and search has been outlawed, it is used constantly and it hasn't helped. My brother was stopped over two dozen times before he even turned 14 and he has never carried. Targeting boys they think look dangerous isn't working, they need to put more effort into actually solving the problem.
@@marthal8862 pretty sure you will find murders were down when it was more implemented you can look that up yourself. But I suppose why try and save lives right?
There is a direct correlation in crime stats. Stop searches go down and knife crime goes up. It's not the long term sollution but it is the shorter term sticking plaster while we address broader social and cultural problems.
@@paulevans3663 what is the long term solution? This has been a problem for a long time. Theres always gonna be murdering arseholes out there.
@@jamespaul6315 you're swallowing Tory talking points and I'm telling you as a person who has worked in policing AND as a Londoner that is raising children here that it is implemented. It's a lazy go to that everyone brings up during this debate and it's not as effective as they pretend it is. I'm not even saying stop it, i'm saying MORE needs to be done because it isn't cutting it! There are people who have carried knives for years and never been stopped.
It is dad for what happened isn’t a job for government security of the people my second point is about education which if you look at 20 mil speed limits why we don’t teach people different between side walks and road and crosswalks but what government do break speed down with a source of income
Back to the first point shouldn’t we have to make sure children are safe so they don’t have to have knives to feel safe
Music that glorifies violence plays a part.
When Tories cut the funding of the police. Then thugs knew they were allowed to have knifes with them.

... ----- man..." you forgot a work James.
Having a good two day clear out on the bog is disgusting and smelly, but necessary. Labour have to do the same!
My sincerest condolences to the families involved.
Time for what may seem a drastic action in combating knife crime. I personally think that those caught carrying a blade/knife should have a hand amputated. There would be no special help after operation as the offenders knew the consequences.
Lol people cry about stop and search no way this happens. I think it should be automatic life sentence tbh
Are spaces available in prison? Put them in prison that means a lot of money. ..
One person wanting amputations, one wanting life in prison for just carrying a knife. You don't even get life in prison for killing somebody with a knife half the time, what world do you two live in.
The main reason young people carry a knife is that they are scared in their environment and carrying a knife makes then feel safer. In America people own guns for the same reason. I'm not talking about criminals who make up a minority in society but ordinary people who are not criminals but just don't feel safe. That's the issue that needs addressing.
I dont believe that. If you carry a knife youre part of the problem
Austerity!!!!
No such thing as a defensive weapon, in law
oh well then, you've solved one of society's problems@@georgemorrison4064
Maybe that’s partially the media’s fault for making everything seem so dangerous and scary. They have made people think there are thugs lurking around every corner waiting to pounce on them with a knife when the kids themselves are often saying the reason they carry is because they are in fear of an attack.
Something doesn’t add up. If everyone is carrying for purely defensive purposes who is pulling them out and attacking in the first place?
If you’re worried about being stabbed you might put your hand in your pocket and ready your knife but you wouldn’t start waving it around unless you wanted to risk illiciting a response in kind surely?
Just say it , its a black issue........

Mass immagration with no criminal checks is a major cause? But whats the point of haveing that conversation with this presenter who is so out of touch with the real world?
For the obvious, glaring reason, as an American listener (bang! bang!), this "knife problem" is just surreal. It's terrible, I know, but I can't help but wish we had your problem instead of our gun problem.
Instead America has both. It's not a knife problem, or a gun problem, it is a violence problem. The problem exist regardless of how effective the weapon is. The only way you control it is aggressive policing and stiff sentencing quickly applied, both of which are politically unpopular, particularly in the Democrat strongholds where they'd make the largest difference.
Instead of blaming violence *solely* on a proliferation of weapons we should be asking ourselves why violence is seen as a viable answer to a problem, particularly among our children. Why is that the lesson they're learning?
This is an american problem (carrying a weapon is because others are carrying and intend to do you harm) take the fear out of the childs life and all children. have positive role models and positives goals not materialistic ones! Having spent my childhood in fear, no way to deal with it, it is exactly a socio-economic problem, not a child problem.
The whole world speaks English language - I'd say thats the biggest thing you guys should be proud of.
It needs parents, at least one, being at home not out chasing money to keep up with the joneses. A couple of decades ago in Scotland and i thought it was uk wide, there was a collection of all knives with blades over a certain length. Seemed to work well until recently in little england. I think the little english kids r like this now as they feel there is no hope and it has worsened since brexit. There r too many humans on the planet chasing too little. No respect for nature or life. Industrial revolution pple left the land and went to the cities to make money. Now all knowledge of country life how to predict weather looking at the sky, the old sayings etc are all being lost. Myself i carry a pocket knife for working in garden and around house, it is so handy. So a blanket ban will not work. Fishermen, joiners, electricians etc all carry knives for work. Greed has brought down society and when the forthcoming economic crash happens things like this may get worse. Parents work even more hours leaving kids alone even more often and when they do see their parents they will be arguing more and more stressed at thought of losing house because of high mortgage rates. Yep vicious circle.
Britain as lost it's moral compass
I think that started with the Church Of England owning plantations and Slaves in the West Indies.
Thats as low a moral compass that exists in the World same with Empire!
Never had one, all facade..
My son is mixed race and dad was born and raised in England but when filling in forms and ticking the box to what his nationality was there is no mixed race British option 🤷♀️ why🤷♀️ am I missing something
why not just tick english ?
@@mitchellstone-bc5fx that’s what I do!! But still he is proud to be mixed race..
You dont have to answer. Im Black and I answer Jedi.
Its none of their buisness!
Maybe because mixed race isn’t a nationality?
That question would be under ethnicity and I don’t think many places are allowed to ask this now because you can claim this influenced their decision or your treatment.
I'm 48 I grew up under thatcher as she began the systematic tory deconstruction of our society. I carried a knife as a teenager for protection. I have graduated to owning a fully functional 'gladius' people have been traumatized to a degree that they could snap at any moment. What gets me is not the normality of carrying a defence aid, but that the way our government treats us is accepted as normal. The psychological damage the tories have inflicted on us ALL is criminal.
If you're carrying a knife around in public it's you that's the criminal
Surprised, O'brien did not blame brexit
Give him time……or Boris…..🤦♂
In 1086 the Doomsday book exposed that 1 in 10 people in England were enslaved, William imposed a tax that led to its dismise.
300 years later the emperor Mansa Musa of Mali visited Mecca with 12000 slaves and sadly today slavery exists in its birthplace within the continent of Africa.
With the thanks of the Squadron we inherited the legacy of the abolition of slavery and that is why hold the opinions on slavery now and not the opinions of other parts of the world where it persists today.
Send money….
It's not difficult to resolve this epidemic, the gangs and cartels need to be taken off the streets on mass. If the police cannot do this then this will continue forever. Safer areas of the UK have very little gang activity.
What you mean is "It's not difficult to point out the cause of this epidemic." You have offered no solution to the problem, you've just pointed out the cause of it.
I think everyone should be allowed to carry a sword.
Sword lessons would be compulsory
When I cook for myself I am perfectly relaxed. I am born a natural cook., prepared food as a three year old. It always tastes great! So good that I lick my plate and compliment myself after I have finished.
When I cook for others it is a banquet and I'm in the kitchen for hours and tired and stressed at the moment of serving. So it does not taste as good to me. It p/sses me off a bit that all these hours of work disappear in two minutes or less. At least stop talking and concentrate on the food please.
Snails can't get dizzy. We get dizzy because we have an inner ear that can detect acceleration and balance and eyes. We get dizzy when we feel acceleration or get out of balance but our eyes tell us that we stand still. Snails don't have inner ears or any ears at all. So they shouldn't get dizzy.
Elephant in the room, can't say black.
Glasgow has some of the highest rates of knife crime in all of Europe and has done so for many decades. What is the ethnicity of the vast majority of the perpetrators of these attacks?
