"But no matter how many times you read about it, it strikes you with total shock, the lack of human beings. Or like I say in (record album track) 'Ice Cream Van' 'pure community, freedom of faith, act of citizenship'.
"You recognize, there's no-one's actually expression, 'Grow a heart, man'. How could you actually harm another person? What's happening to us man?"

He told The Guardian: "It's been in the news a lot in London, merely in Glasgow it's always been like that. If you uprise up in Glasgow, you've been chased with something. I've been chased with a five iron!"
Between April 2007 and March 2008 up to 7,409 knife crime attacks were reported in London alone.
