I'm pretty sure Paul wrote it about himself. Check the "making of Six" blog for confirmation.

Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip – Great Britain Lyrics 15 years ago
CD arrived today. Booklet says

And our contexts aren't realistic

should be

And out of context aren't realistic

and

You don't solve knife crime by taking knives out of hand

should be

You don't solve knife crime by taking knives out their hands


Apart from that lyrics are as I posted above

Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip – Great Britain Lyrics 15 years ago
The words as I hear them:

I'm from a little place called Great Britain,
But I don’t know if I love or hate Britain,
These words upon my page, written
Are things that make and break Britain. [X2]

One inch
to the left to the left,
Could have been the difference between life and death,
A knife wound to the heart, to the side of the chest,
Could have been one statistic less.

See sometimes Great Britain ain't that great,
Kids getting stabbed at an alarming rate,
The press with a passion to exaggerate,
Increasingly clueless heads of state,

See knife crime knife crime it ain't about knifes,
It's about young Britain and their ways of life,
You don't solve knife crime by taking knives out of hand,
You solve it by instilling youth hopes and plans,

It's got positives though, I swear its true,
In the north, south, east, west and the midlands too,
We got diversity that shines on through
Who makes the best music in the world?
We Do!

I'm from a Little place called Great Britain,
But I don’t know if I love or hate Britain,
These words upon my page, written
Are things that make and break Britain. [X2]

In a 2008-2009 Government report,
Violent crime was not listed to increase or decrease,
it was instead listed as stable.

Now what I ask you is,
Is stable really acceptable?
See between 2003 and 2008,
the number of children admitted into NHS hospitals with knife wounds,
saw a rise of 120 percent.

So in my eyes,
2008 and 2009 stability,
Just marks our cards as desensitised.

But statistics can be twisted,
And our contexts aren't realistic,
And with while this might seem over simplistic,
We need to fight this and resist it!

I’m from a Little place called Great Britain,
But I don’t know if I love or hate Britain,
These words upon my page, written
Are things that make and break Britain. [X4]
