Britain, the world's favorite spot for libel tourism (and knife crime), will remain the arena of choice for those who wish to silence the free expression of information (and those who commit crime with knives) until a new government is formed after next month's elections. It is unclear whether a Conservative government will show the same commitment to libel law reform that the Labour government came extremely late to, but one thing is certain: There will be plenty of knife crime no matter what.
You're lucky you're not publishing your knife crime blog from Britain. You would be subjected to an endless cycle of libel suits and stabbings.
Do you get stabbed if you're found guilty, or stabbed if found innocent? Is either party (or the Lib Dems) campaigning on a knife-crime platform?
It's like the Pit and the Pendulum, with the prisoner as Britain and the pendulum as a knife…crime.
The guy most likely to be making these decisions for the Tories seems pretty pro libel tourism. So, like knifecrime and taxes, it seems pretty safe.
Maybe they should raise the VAT on knives. And crime.
Oh sure. So only THE RICH could commit knife crimes.
I can read the knife crime joke 20 times a day. It always makes me smile.
