Told you so!

Knife amnesties 'have no effect'

Damn it feels good to be right. 

-- "... an analysis of the concurrent but longer eight-week amnesty by the Metropolitan Police - between May and July - appears to question the effectiveness of the operation. The report said "no changing trends" had been visible during the first five weeks of the operation from 15 May.
For the final three weeks of the operation and in the following weeks "a small downward trend appeared"."

Of course they are still fooling themselves with the last sentence, but other than that I applaud their telling the truth.
