Knife related crime seems to be on the rise in the UK, with over 20 people killed in London this year. To try and help combat this, the government has enlisted Alfred Hitchcock to come up with a solution.
Yep — I did a double-take too, but this is Manchester born policeman, 49 year old Alf(red) Hitchcock.
I’m sure Hitch, who filmed some of his most memorable murders with knives, would have raised an eyebrow.
I noticed that when the Sec of State referred to her new appointment ,she very carefully called him Al Hitchcock . Perhaps she was afraid of the sound of screaching violins greeting his every appearance.
