"Knife-wielding youths are not what this town is about"

[seepage]

In a article in my local newspaper about 'knife-wielding youths', a local councillor is quoted saying: "this is not what [this town] is about". Which implies they think there are some other towns where knife-wielding youths are what they are about!

Which implies they think there are some other towns where knife-wielding youths are what they are about!

That'll be Croydon then.

Sheffield, surely. Even one of the football teams acquired a nickname cos of the city's knife-wielding thugs.

Is the town about knife wielding pensioners?

With fewer than 100,000 residents, Limerick, which straddles the mouth of the River Shannon, has been trying for years to live down its reputation as "Stab City", a nickname acquired a decade ago because of a spate of fatal knife attacks in a time of high unemployment.

The latest violence involves youths wearing bullet-proof vests and equipped with machine guns and hand grenades. Six people were murdered there last year, at least four in gang-related feuds. The homicide rate, per head of population, is equivalent to that of Glasgow, the murder capital of western Europe.

There was a young fella from Malahide
Who hid from a double homicide
They called him a prick
Down in fair Limerick
Now they're using his hoop as a fun slide

That'll be Croydon then.

Enter pancreas, with a sheaf of dill.

Sheffield, surely. Even one of the football teams acquired a nickname cos of the city's knife-wielding thugs.

However, the ice hockey team never stole anything.

[Johnny Yesno]

There once was a kind of rhapsody
Named after Ireland's 'stab city'
I forget what it's called
The narrative has stalled
And the rhyming's a total catastrophe

Every cloud.

My "Knife-wielding youths are not what this town is about" t-shirt is raising many questions already answered by my t-shirt.
