Johnny Rambleton: "if there'd been a campaign recently that publicised the sentences the perpetrators have received, middle class voters would have been reassured and future knife wielding youth made to think twice."
There was, in fact there's been a few. Kids don't stop carrying knives because an ad tells them they'll banged up for it or get killed. Plus, there's a credit crunch happening and the beginnings of an economic downturn, the last thing people want to see is their hard-earned tax money spent on advertising, when they'd prefer to have that cash themselves. Ken spent a lot of money on advertising, most of it advertising himself with his Mayor of London logo on everything... except, funnily enough, theTransport for London-backed St Georges Day festival. And good riddance to Pravda, sorry The Londoner. Too much money was frittered away on Ken's ego-boosting rag.
