It’s come to this
As I returned home from a meeting in central London today, I found that my local underground station of Sudbury Hill had something unusual positioned at the ticket barriers. There were several policemen selecting young men to go through a metal detector to see if knives were being carried.
I guess this is a sensible measure in view of the number of knife killings in the capital in recent months – but it is really sad that our society has reached this stage.
