This actually offers some insight, unlike 99% of the shite written about knife crime, because a decent section is given over to the actual kids

One lass says “Her life would be totally different “if I was middle class” and her family had more rooms, and could eat, sleep and work better, she reasons.” Innit. Nail on head.

But the journo fails to answer the question that the reason there’s mad overcrowing is because of gentrification

Living in London is fucking expensive, all the local councils are rooting up council estatss forcing people out of their ends and boosting the property value. Displacing poorer people so they can construct high value property and businesses in impoverished areas. Gentrification is class war. We are under attack, we are in an estate of war.
