The play's the thing

Wherein they'll catch, uh... retardation:

The director of a production of Romeo and Juliet at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre consulted a police chief on Wednesday over fears free shows for 10,000 teenagers may unwittingly glamorise knife crime.


Judging from recent events in Jolly Old England, I'd say it's more likely that Monty Python skits have glamorised stupidity. You'd be hard-pressed to find a Shakespearean tragedy or history which doesn't have stabby bits in it.

Last year, 28 teenagers were killed in violent incidents in the capital, most in stabbings, fuelling a national debate over youth crime, gangs and the state of British society.


28? For a whole year? That's all ya got? Piffle. Detroit gets that on an off night. America wins!

As for the state of British society... Well, the less said the better. Unfortunately we're not far behind them, with President Off-White and the Seven Tax-Dodging Dwarves prancing around the country promising free durable goods and extra helpin's of chitlins on every third Tuesday.
