The number of acid attacks taking place in Britain is soaring, with school children as young as 13 using corrosive substances as weapons.Acid throwing is more prevalent in South East Asia, particularly Bangladesh, but apparently is growing in popularity in England. This practice needs to be eliminated as harshly and as quickly as possible.
Crime statistics show that there was more than 450 acid attacks in London alone last year, with the number of attacks in the capital more than doubling since 2014.
But experts say the real figure is much higher, with the true scale of the problem hidden because people are afraid to come forward.
Knife-wielding teenagers driving a Peugeot Partner ploughed into revellers queuing for a pub and 'knocked them over like dominoes' in a horrifying attack in Islington.
Two men and one woman were injured on the lively Essex Road in north London before the driver and passenger sped off then got out and fled on foot.
Police who found one knife on the pavement and one knife in the car arrested four males, aged between 17 and 19, on suspicion of GBH with intent and of possession of points and blades.
With tensions high after four innocent people were killed in a terror attack on Westminster Bridge on Wednesday, police insist last night's incident was not terror related.
Public opinion is a compound of folly, weakness, prejudice, wrong feeling, right feeling, obstinacy, and newspaper paragraphs.

Britain scolded U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry for describing the Israeli government as the most right-wing in Israeli history, a move that aligns Prime Minister Theresa May more closely with President-elect Donald Trump.But that's nothing out of the ordinary; England has been screwing Israel even before it was a nation. The Brits allowed only 1500 Jews per month to enter Palestine after the end of WWII and violated the terms of their own Palestinian Mandate wherein Great Britain ruled Palestine. The Brits blockaded almost all Jewish refugee ships trying to deliver desperate Jews to Palestine and also turned over fortified positions and munitions to the Arab League when they exited Palestine in 1948 so the Arabs could end the Jewish Question by slaughtering them.
After U.S. President Barack Obama enraged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by refusing to veto a UN Security Council resolution demanding an end to Israeli settlement building, Kerry's public rebuke of Israel has unsettled some allies such as Britain.
[...]While Britain voted for the UN resolution that so angered Netanyahu and says that settlements in the occupied territories are illegal, a spokesman for May said that it was clear that the settlements were far from the only problem in the conflict.
Women having sex changes on the NHS are being given free fertility treatment so they can have babies after they become men.
At least three British men who were born female are ‘on the brink’ of becoming parents using IVF techniques, according to a top doctor.
And dozens more are now having their eggs frozen at NHS clinics before undergoing surgery or hormone therapy to switch sex.
British spies intercepted intelligence suggesting the Sinai air disaster was caused by an Islamic State bomb, it emerged last night.Story here.
It prompted the Government to immediately ground flights to the resort, and they could be suspended for weeks – leaving 130,000 Britons who have booked winter sun trips in limbo.
[...]Such a development would be a political disaster for Moscow, which would face allegations it failed to protect its own citizens.
Burglary victims should expect a ‘slow’ response from police, while those who report a stolen mobile phone may find ‘very little’ action is taken, the new head of one of Britain’s largest forces has said."Slow time" - translation: they take their sweet time or it doesn't get investigated at all. No search for latent fingerprints, no looking for boot tracks; interviewing neighbors/possible witnesses ... nope, we'll have none of that.
Ian Hopkins, who takes over as chief constable of Greater Manchester on Monday, said officers would be dispatched to a break-in if the suspects were still at the scene.
But if someone returns from a weekend away to find their home ransacked, they will not be treated as a priority, he said.
‘If you’re someone like me or yourself who’s perfectly capable of phoning your insurance company, getting the locks sorted or the window boarded up, then I don’t see the necessity for us to turn up at that stage,’ Mr Hopkins told BBC Radio 4’s PM programme. ‘We can investigate that slow time.’
It is the latest example of how police forces are downgrading burglaries and comes after the Daily Mail revealed how one police force would investigate burglaries only at properties with an even number.Officials would rather spend public funds on supporting Muslim
A YES vote in September’s referendum on independence for Scotland could reawaken centuries old claims to the Scottish crown from members of the House of Stuart.And it apparently landed right in the lap of this dame ... or Franz, the Duck of Bavaria.
And an 87-year-old billionaire from Spain might argue she has the strongest claim.
For the Duchess of Alba is said to be one of two main contenders from the Stuart dynasty, whose Scottish monarchs transformed the country during their time in power.
While First Minister Alex Salmond insists Queen Elizabeth II would remain as head of state after a Yes vote, others are not so sure.
Some Scots look back fondly in the history books to their Stuart kings, the first of whom was Robert II in 1371.
By the 17th century, they ruled all of England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland.
[..]The last Stuart monarch was Queen Anne, who died childless in 1714.
The Crown passed to the House of Hanover, but the Stuart line continued abroad.
The entire criminal justice system was infiltrated by organised crime gangs, according to a secret Scotland Yard report leaked to The Independent.If you will, consider the disarming of the British population in light of the above.
In 2003 Operation Tiberius found that men suspected of being Britain’s most notorious criminals had compromised multiple agencies, including HM Revenue & Customs, the Crown Prosecution Service, the City of London Police and the Prison Service, as well as pillars of the criminal justice system including juries and the legal profession.
The strategic intelligence scoping exercise – “ratified by the most senior management” at the Met – uncovered jurors being bought off or threatened to return not-guilty verdicts; corrupt individuals working for HMRC, both in the UK and overseas; and “get out of jail free cards” being bought for £50,000.
The report states that the infiltration made it almost impossible for police and prosecutors to successfully pursue the organised gangs that police suspected controlled much of the criminal underworld.
The author of Tiberius, which was compiled from intelligence sources including covert police informants, live telephone intercepts, briefings from the security services and thousands of historical files, came to the desperate conclusion: “Quite how much more damage could be done is difficult to imagine.”
The fresh revelations come a day after The Independent revealed that Tiberius had concluded the Metropolitan Police suffered “endemic police corruption” at the time, and that some of Britain’s most dangerous organised crime syndicates were able to infiltrate New Scotland Yard “at will”.
