Well, a 27 year old man has been arrested on suspicion - no mention of race, so can we presume he's white?

A 27-year-old polo-playing former public schoolboy has been charged with the murders of three pensioners in Exeter, and with two offences of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

We should all contemplate the many things in life that we take for granted & for which we often show little appreciation.

We continue to experience on a day-to-day basis in the UK: the shootings, stabbings, muggings, suicides, poverty, depression, robberies, fear, repossessions, bankruptcies, homelessness and bullying.

What we need are better answers from our elected representatives - not excuses.

BLADE RUNNERS.

Home Secretary Sajid Javid used a long and at times heated debate on knife crime in Cabinet yesterday to demand emergency funds for the police.

He was rebuffed by Philip Hammond initially, but the Times reveals that hours later the Chancellor agreed to meet him to chat about more cash.

A 14-year-old Coventry schoolgirl was stabbed after being chased down by a gang of more than a dozen people.

The teenager was stabbed in the neck – possibly with scissors – after being chased down by a mob of up to 15 youngsters on Wednesday night.

A 16-year-old girl has subsequently been arrested, said West Midlands Police – the latest stabbing victim in the UK.

'We were called by the ambulance service just before 6.30pm to say that a girl was bleeding from the back of her head,' said officers. :-0
