At Least Rod Liddle Doesn't Post Here

See, what he says is not necessarily racist, merely fact. When was the last time a fatal stabbing or shooting was carried out by a white kid? That's why Trident was set up

The majority of noncecases are generally white, if a black fella told me that I wouldn't get all "Ooooh, that's racist", I'd agree with him as it's true

Some people need to get down off the PC horse

Not quite, G, Trident was set up to deal with black on black crime. At the time (I'm not sure if it's still the case) young, black males were most likely to be the victims of crime in London - so it was determined a different approach was required, in part, due to significant mistrust of the Met amongst London's black communities, especially young people.

If you look for it, you will find plenty of examples of fatal shootings and stabbings by white kids, but I doubt they get reported in the same way. I think it's about perception and I think it is irresponsible of Liddle or anyone else to make the statement without at least a basic grasp of the statistics and an appreciation of the reason for them.

Oh, and I blame the Gary Glitter effect.
