Knife crime is no laughing matter, but I was amused that when asked what to do about it on Monday's Newsnight, the Labour spokeswoman said that that was "the six million dollar question"! Is this the latest indication that inflation is rather higher than the government likes to admit? Or is the government, as part of what appears to be its "We love the 70s" season, planning a return for Lee Majors? Or perhaps she had been distracted by internal Labour discussions over whether Jacqui Smith was being treated as The Fall Guy?
