[Asda has announced it will remove
single kitchen knives from sale by the end of April in response to concerns about knife crime. The supermarket chain confirmed the items would be removed from all stores following increased concerns about knife-related deaths across the UK. Asda's senior vice president, Nick Jones, said he believed the store had a "responsibility" to local communities.] All Supermarkets have been caught on undercover TV reports selling Knives to underage set ups. https://news.sky.com/story/asda-to-r...april-11659439 |

If they went to pay for it ! but so easy to hide if you want to pinch it, but every household has knives so I don't think Asda's idea will help stop knife crime

It says they were sold? so not nicked, no it wont stop knife crime, but we have to start somewhere and just adding an electronic tag to knives will stop theft from shops, online is another issue but like restricting the sale of acid it's a start

Nice gesture. Can't see it being very effective, but I guess every little helps.

It's a step in the right direction.
I'd also ramp up the prices of knife sets/bundles OR have them treated in the same way as cigarettes now, in a locked case behind a counter and make ID compulsory. I'm sure people wouldn't mind paying more or the faff of buying knives when it's to try and stop something so terrible like this. Last edited by LaLaLand; 09-03-2019 at 12:19 PM. |

This is so stupid. Gangs have multiple members. Are they going to get a special deal for their multiple knife purchase?

Glasgow used to have the highest knife crime in Europe, and they pretty much sorted the problem out. It requires police to search people to see if they are carrying weapons, but of course the Dianne Abbots of this world would be outraged by that prospect.

That's right, because a few tw@s can't behave themselves, everyone has to suffer.

I feel bad for looking at this from a “glass half empty” view, as all they’d have to do is walk to tesco around the corner or any other high street shop that sells kitchen knives

A noble move but I'm not sure how effective it could be.
We don't sell single knives at our place but people just steal the cutlery sets instead or they'll break open the packs just to get at the knives. I get called down from the office regularly to log stolen knives. I know about four police officers on a first name basis because of it. It's a pandemic and one that is not easily solved. |
