I think there have been three school kids and a chap on a train at Oxenhome stabbed in the last couple of weeks. I suppose a lot of it is down to gang culture and that these fools think they need to carry knives as they are &#39;hard&#39;, &#39;kewl&#39; or need them as they need &#39;protection&#39; or that they need &#39;respect&#39;. Well none of that is true, especially the respect bit. These fools think that carrying a knife or being hard makes them deserve respect from others. WRONG!!! Being a person who does work for the community without banging on about it, being a great leader or being a great engineer or scientist, as examples, are people who deserve respect, not some jumped up little thugs. Trouble is, they are far too stupid to realise this!<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">As I was in the garden this afternoon, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.raf.mod.uk\/bbmf\/\" target=\"_blank\">Battle of Britain Memorial Flight<\/a>  came overhead. The Hurricane, Lancaster and Spitfire made an enormous sound as they flew quite low overhead. I can&#39;t imaging what a squadron of fighters or a bomber formation would have looked and sounded like. Quite impressive and scary really. It&#39;s good to see them still flying as my Grandpa (Ken Wood) worked on Hurricanes and Lancasters during the War (he was a mechanic). The chap who designed the Spitfire , Reginald Mitchell, was also born round here! <\/div>\n<p><span hidden class=\"__iawmlf-post-loop-links\" data-iawmlf-links=\"[{&quot;id&quot;:757,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/www.raf.mod.uk\\\/bbmf&quot;,&quot;archived_href&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;redirect_href&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.raf.mod.uk\\\/bbmf&quot;,&quot;checks&quot;:[],&quot;broken&quot;:false,&quot;last_checked&quot;:null,&quot;process&quot;:&quot;done&quot;}]\"><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why have there been so many stabbings recently?
