  Woo Hoo! London celebrates its stabbiest year yet. 'Talented footballers' and 'aspiring rappers' dropping like flies.
  
  'The death of the schoolboy brings the total number of teenagers stabbed to death in London in 2017 to 19. That’s seven more than the total killed in 2016.'

  There's people in Iran right now putting their lives on the line as they somehow don't find wearing a bin-liner with a slit for the eyes as 'liberating' as apparently the sisterhood do over here, and the Mayor of London is worried about transgender bogs!
  
  Ha bloody ha. This is what happens when the left ignore the concept of 'class struggle' (which at least has some intellectual structure) and go for intersectionality.
