A new ban on zombie-style knives and machetes will come into force in the coming week and a surrender scheme has been running in England and Wales encouraging people to hand them in and get them off the streets.

How about kitchen knives, steak knives etc?, so easy to buy and use in a wrong way.

Disarming everyone before the invasion…

Notice they only ever profile a certain demographic as the victim but never mention or question said demographic as the overwhelming majority responsible for the problem.
The govern me harder approach should be outbound flights and not letting them in.
@deanrose245
knife crime should be charged as attempted murder if the victim survives as this is the extent that could happen. To many just charged with assault with a deadly weapon only

Is this post also going to be deleted again. The parents and communities where these thugs are bred need to step up to their responsibilities. They don’t want the police doing their jobs. So the communities need to be the solution

First they banned guns due to gun violence… criminals still have them and not caring. Then more common criminals start using knives and as result knife violence came to a rise… now they are banning knives… results criminals won't care theyll use whatever they'll get there hands on…

Teach people kindness and responsible ownership of weapons.
My heart goes out to the loved ones of people affected by violence and hate. God bless!
@wildandbarefoot
We've had knives and swords for thousands of years. Why is it a problem since immigration? Don't blame the weapons. Blame the culture that thinks it's ok to use them in a fight.
