YOUNG KNIVES SHOULD BE BANNED, SAY FRANZ

Adding his name to a campaign to rid Glasgow of knives (from the streets, obviously, they'd still be in restaurants and licensed butchers) is Paul Thompson, drummer with Franz Ferdinand:

"I would have no hesitation in supporting an anti-knife campaign. I've been assaulted before and it's pretty terrifying. Somebody threw a brick in my face outside my house.

"That was a bit hairy, I was too terrified to leave the house.

It sounds to us a little bit like he should be campaigning against bricks, but we guess its a case of one weapon at a time.
