A boy died last night just a few miles from my home. He is another statistic in the rising numbers of knife killings in the UK.
A posting in a martial arts forum asked, 'What to do about knife attacks?'
I replied (because I am qualified) that every martial arts teacher should have defence against knife attacks in his curriculum and the training should be as near as realistic as possible.
I couldn't believe my eyes when an instructor replied, 'Nonsense' and went on to talk shite about the subject. He justified his reasoning by saying it doesn't really happen where he lives.
This underlines the fact that many suberbanites think everyone is like them and everything in the world is rosy.
'Nonsense' lives somewhere in the south of the Emerald Isle.
I hope he doesn't visit downtown Liverpool at night.
