Thank god I don't live in East London.

Thankfully the guy seems to be okay which is a good thing, that will scar him for life though sadly.

Yes many youngsters carry strong kitchen knifes (all over England)
you can buy them in Poundland.
Age check on it.

The Mayor is blaming police cuts, but stop and search was cut due to racial profiling now alot of people who spoke out against stop and search are arguing for its return, the Mayor has been very silent in the issue and hasn’t been to any of the areas where many of the crimes are taking place, and I haven’t seen him on any local news programme for weeks

The mayor is really quite conspicuously absent and it's really bad form I think. He should be speaking up, it's part of his job.

It's an area fraught with PC landmines. The majority of these stabbings are black on black crime and everyone's frightened to be the first to stick their head above the parapet. Something's got to be done, but all communities need to stand with the police on this, and I'm sure the black community want an end to the madness. I think the only way to tackle this kind of thing is more police, particularly black police, and much better schools in poorer areas. That means much more money into the Police and education than the Prime Minister is willing to give.

I don't think blaming Sadiq Khan is entirely accurate. I don't think that either the Mayor or the Government could've stopped these events although the actions of both the Mayor and the Government are not helping knife crime.

He must set a new Plan
no good using Politics first

The London Police chief has a new plan
for example
she went on every news yesterday and today

[bots]

knife crime has been common place for decades. Stop and search would help. Not sure what extra police would do if they can't stop and search people

yeah but remember stop and search is evil and horrid and racist, so we can't possibly have that

Weren't there complaints because black people were getting stopped and searched more than white or Asian people?

Catch 22.

The areas of london this is happening are predominantly black or asian areas.

They mustnt have brought it in up in scotland or the numbers would have been better.

I don't have much an opinion on it tbh as I don't really have much knowledge on the subject.

But I'll take your word for it.

I think two dads or two moms would fit the bill fine, and evidently a mom and a grandmother can be perfect in some cases

Talk about stereotypes - and you were just trying to undermine another member for allegedly stereotyping Jewish men. Single ‘girls’ indeed - totally sexist remarks.

Chill yer beans. Should I have thrown in a HASHTAG NOT ALL to make it clear that it doesn't refer to every single case? The "single girls" thing was just repeating what the member I quoted had said, using their own example.

Sure there were complaints, but if knife crime has risen since stop and search was ended, then perhaps the complaints should have been filed under B for Bin.
