A very unusual British killing at a school in Leeds. Despite the horror of this particular knife crime administered by a 15 year old child (in the eyes of the law) there is an immediate media panic about a tide of violence in our schools. In fact, as the statistics from the Department for Education show, happily violence inside schools has been in steep decline for some years. My hat tipped to amp33d from the Mirror for rescuing the evidence to show so.
