TONY Blair wants tougher penalties for knife crime - well, I have the answer.
Take a step backwards and bring corporal punishment and the birch back. It will stop the young thugs from becoming gangsters.
While we are at it, why don't we bring back capital punishment as well. That will stop these senseless murders from happening on a seemingly daily basis.
The only punishment served out at the moment is a few years at a holiday camp, full board, and all expenses paid.
Forget Brussels, and bring law and order back to this country.
