But They Mostly Seem To Be Aspiring Footballers And Rappers, Mayor...?

We need to get the message across to young Londoners that their lives are too valuable to risk by carrying a knife. They are our future musicians, artists, sportsmen and women, comedians, scientists, politicians, entrepreneurs and role models. Our city and our society need them alive.
Do we? I'm not too sure.
We need Londoners to hear this message from the people they most look up to, so I am delighted that some powerful voices are speaking out today. From leading grime artists, like Yungen, to the blogger The Slumflower, these are the people young Londoners listen to and look up to. They have used their talent to achieve great things and to realise their potential.
Now, far be it from me to rubbish blogging, but...'great things'?

And grime music? What the hell has that ever done to be described in those terms?

Gun+Crime= "Grime" ? Or is it just cRappers with Water Intolerance Syndrome?

No we don't, our cities and our society need them dead or jailed and removed from gene pool.

To all aspiring rappers & Grimers, tool up and keep killing your "bros"

Pcar has the right idea, but it should be expanded to include their apologists, too.

Beats me!

"To all aspiring rappers & Grimers, tool up and keep killing your "bros""

So long as there's no collateral damage.

"...but it should be expanded to include their apologists, too."
