One of the truly exciting things about living, and dying in multicult, diverse London is, that while guns are rare, or at least kept for the “higher” criminals, blades are common, and the cheaper and more readily disposable, the better. Knives used to be the thing, but the lads have moved to using machetes. Unlike swords, machetes are cheap, still available via any one who has some scrap spring steel and an angle grinder, and have a primitive feel to them; like being in your own The Walking Dead movie. I predict that in diverse London, machetes will become a fashion accessory among the thriving gangs and others who want to murder hard working people like me, who pay for everything. London is a great place to live in, while one lives.
