The Mylene Klass knife crime affair sounds like some kind of strange publicity stunt - for police and Klass.
When a gang of hoodlums threaten you at your house, are you likely to provoke them by waving a knife? Possibly most unwise in the extreme when you'd rather not have violent thugs bursting in, trying to take you out.
I'm sure the police were right to warn her about brandishing a knife. Klass said she did it because it was something any mother would do. I'm not sure they would... would you, Mum? Better to call 999 maybe - but then what would you do waiting for the emergency services to turn up?
Publicity for celebrities around knife crime is a difficult issue. They can seem to benefit from some association with it but haven't really stepped up to the plate and worked to solve it, have they?
That said, it's a dangerous platform to put your name too - it could make you an assassination target.
In Mylene's case, no-one should have to put up with any kind of gang wandering about their private property. Very scary indeed.
Overall, curious. Interesting that it prompted this article on the BBC website. Free publicity for lawyers.
