It’s not just about stopping the virtue signalling. It’s about cracking down on shocking gang violence
As the appalling spate of gun murders in Liverpool has tragically shown, there is a sub-culture of violent crime in too many communities in towns and cities across the UK.

Often drawn from dysfunctional homes, they are induced or coerced into the gangs, where they run drugs and weapons for the leadership.
