Bob Piper has been a Labour Councillor for the Abbey
Ward in Sandwell, West Midlands, for nine years. He is a lifelong supporter of Aston Villa Football Club and a follower of Yorkshire County Cricket Club.
The views expressed here are mine in a personal capacity, not those of the Labour Party, Sandwell MBC, Aston Villa or Yorkshire County Cricket Club. Get it! Mine... just mine!
A mother whose daughter was stabbed to death has hit out at my favourite loony right-wing council over their plans to entertain young people with public exhibitions of knife throwing over the Summer, as I reported earlier in the week.
What's wrong with knife throwing - it would be useful for the underclasses to see that knives can be used for things other than stabbing.
Mind you teaching them how to use a knife and fork might be a good idea have you seen chavs eating - a truely revolting sight.
What we need is to get away from this idea that carrying a knife is wrong - it isn't. Wnat is wrong is the idea being promoted by all these "victims" that the whole of society must be inconvenienced because they can't be sensible enough not to put themselves in danger from the half dozen loonies who might stab them.
