Knife Crime on the Agenda 24 April 2008
Posted by karenbuckmp in Uncategorized.trackback
Karen spoke out about knife crime in Parliament yesterday as took part in the debate on crime in London.
Opening her speech on the subject, Karen said,
Three children have died as a result of knife crime in my constituency in a little over a year—Kodjo Yenga, Jevon Henry and Amro Elbadawi. I have sat with the parents of the two children who were my constituents, as has Ken Livingstone, who made a private visit, not making political capital, unaccompanied by the media and cameras. I have listened to their grief and to what they had to say about young people and the culture and the problems that have led in some instances to gangs and in some instances to conflicts that have got out of hand.
