Knife crime must be treated like an infectious disease killing our children, Theresa May and Sajid Javid say today. Unveiling a radical shift in policy, the Prime Minister and Home Secretary will hand hospitals, schools and social services a legal duty to protect youngsters. Casualty staff and GPs will be obliged to flag up knife wounds or other suspicious injuries so children can be referred to ‘violence reduction units’.(Snip) The move comes amid intense public concern over knife crime. Ten separate stabbing incidents have been reported in the past few days, including one in which a hooded attacker knifed four victims

So distressing that the knife wielder wouldn´t pause to at least disinfect the blade between stabbings! /s
Western Civ? When every man is eager for what he can get, and anxious to keep what he has, this makes men dangerous to one another. from 2nd Timothy.

Our liberals, of course, have tried to do the same here with gun crime, trying to get the CDC to call it a public health issue. Liberals lie and will do anything, repeat ANYTHING, to advance their agenda and gain power. It is LIBERALS who are a public health threat, and an existential threat to the American experiment in self government and individual liberty.

Then they cry out that we must do something about those evil screwdrivers, ban them, and there is an outbreak of butter knives being used to cut infidels. They never learn...

Here´s a thought Brits--allow private citizens to arm themselves with pistols and revolvers and issue concealed carry permits. I predict the problem will quickly resolve itself.

They need to limit knives to those at least 21.

Gee, Ms. May. What do you think happens when you let invaders into your country to kill? And of course, if I said this out loud in England, I would be imprisoned for a hate crime.

As it is now over there the young and strong take advantage of the somewhat slower old folks. Not here, not ever.

I just don’t get that Brit mentality.
One time, I started to watch “Cops,” when the show was in some city in England. It was highly aggravating to see these English cops going about without side-arms to confront all manner of dangerous situations, while dressed like school crossing guards. I turned shortly to another program. I don’t know any other country that requires its police to go without guns; not even the French,
I just don’t get that Brit mentality.

How about putting the perps to death instead of giving them a few years in jail, then deporting the rest of them.

I know you were just being sarcastic #8 but what there really need is some common sense politicians. They ban guns, now they have the citizenry unable to protect themselves. They had the same problem during WWII. American citizens had to volunteer to send their private firearms over to England for them to protect themselves if the Germans invaded. Humans never seem to learn.

Poor Winston Churchill, he must be spinning like a cooling fan seeing what his beloved Great Britain has turned into. Sorry Sir, it´s not so great anymore.

The real disease is not knifers. It is liberalism. It is Islam. I got into a huge argument, actual shouting, with my very liberal vegan friend (who is American!), who insisted all the London knife and acid attacks were due to drug dealers protecting their turf. I was so flabbergasted by his comment, I actually said, "Are you really that naive that you believe that bull S? He took offense to that and the party was on. But, he never backed down from his belief in that bald-faced liberal lie.
BTW- he is so desperate for a friend, he later apologized to me. Said, It is refreshing that two friends can debate such issues and still remain friends these days." How dumb is that? What is strange- He is really a very nice person at heart. He just bought into that Global Warming BS and that lets him swallow all the rest of the left´s total crap.

If not knives, then acid.
If citizens were armed, like they can be here, a knife wielder or acid thrower would find out that he couldn´t outrun a bullet...
...but, of course, we´re talking Britain where you can´t defend yourself.

What good would it do to arm British subjects when the very act of defending one´s life, regardless of the means, is patently illegal.
Ones duty, by British law, when under lethal attack, is, quite simply, to die.

The cure for "knife crime" is a .38 or a .45 in your holster, legal and ready to put the knife wielding bad guy in the morgue.

#21, do your vegan friend a favor and point him to the falsified data used to justify the global warming computer model. Then point to the latest news that the Greenland glacier that was supposed to be shrinking, is growing. It is fine to care for the Earth, it is Christian and a responsible thing to do, but being pious about it based on lies, that is wrong in many ways.

They don´t let you brings guns to a knife fight in London. That would put an end to this. \s
