Another Victim

Blood on the pavement

Wailing voices

Angry moods

Lamenting ladies

Blood-stained kitchen knife

Heavy police presence

Cordoned off crime scene

Silent witnesses

Speechless passersby

A sign of another victim

He is gone

The 70th

Stabbed brutally to death

Aged 17 and 7 months

Slaughtered at the prime of his youth

By 7 vicious, ferocious and thuggish gangsters

A sign of broken Britain

And operationless Operation Trident

Another opportunity for the MPs to recite their usual rehearsed speeches

Ample opportunity for the Lords to fiddle while London burns

And for the CofE to proclaim that the end of the world is near
