Listen here to some of what people have said. Use the comment button to leave your own comment. Click on the link to sign the online petition against cutting the funds for Camden’s UKonline centres.

This week’s bulletin re-visits the issue of knife crime. Ikaba Koyi locates the background to local knife crime in the high proportion of young people in Camden. She talks with Angus and Zephyn from the project ‘The Weapon of Choice’, which has produced ‘Panopticism’ – a thought provoking play that brings together 11 young people from the boroughs of Camden, Hackney, Southwark and Lambeth to tell a gripping story.

‘Panopticism’ is a definite watch. It will be performed at the Hackney Empire on the 8th and 9th of December at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £5. Click on the link for Hackney Empire or call to 020 8985 2424 to reserve a ticket. Don’t miss it!
