Mr Smith reads that the cops have decided that the best way to clampdown on Scotland's appalling record on knife crime to to ... send out 150,000 post cards asking people not to carry knives.
"POLICE are sending postcards to 150,000 homes in the latest bid to combat Scotland's lethal blade culture. Strathclyde Police are using the tactic to warn people who carry knives they face up to four years in jail if they are caught. Chief Inspector Andy McKay said: "The card sends a clear message to those who are carrying knives that we are coming to get them.""
Mr Smith thinks the idea is nothing more than a gimmick which if it wasn't such an important issue would be laughable. Perhaps the cops should put more effort into actually catching the criminals rather than wasting paper and money.
