Quote Of The Day

Gary Hopkins, Liberal Democrat councillor for Knowle, Bristol, on the latest stabbing.

"Knowle has its problems with drugs and some types of crime, but this will come as a big surprise to the community.

"People don't feel unsafe walking the streets of Knowle, at least in the day time - which makes this so out of character and shocking."

On the plus side, we have a great control group should we ever want to experiment with zero tolerance: 'Knowle, where mayhem's OK providing the Sun has gone down'

It's fairly safe during the day because few of the locals are out of bed before 2pm after a hard night's mugging, burglary and car theft. I know, because I used to live in Bristol before emigrating four years ago. My brother's house was just half a block from the hotel in the photograph.
