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

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.
