Sad news from Knifecrime Island, where the new government has decided to get rid of ASBOs-orders aimed at preventing people from anti-social behaviors by banning them from engaging in those behaviors. Home Secretary Theresa May characterized the Anti-Social Behaviour Orders, created over a decade ago by a previous Labour government, as a "'top-down, bureaucratic, gimmick-laden approach' [which] had not worked and got in the way of police taking action against thugs. She also urged residents themselves to do more to stand up to thugs," which is code in Britain for "Stick it to them before they stick it to you." It, of course, is knives.
