Yes, I know guns aren't totally banned in the UK

Take the blades away, it will be bats and tire irons.

and the nuance to the situation that liberals tend to overlook are the demographics that are doing the knife crime.
Its the lowest of all classes. Ghetto blacks and social housing whites.. not middle class blacks or whites or upper class blacks or whites...its literally an issue of culture that plagues the lowest economic groups where behavior like this is glorified and now equally goes unpunished.

Also the super majority of said groups are coming from single parent households on welfare in social housing and publicly educated...but thats not exactly a surprise to anyone besides some liberals

Upvoted.

Gasp! It's almost as if our -- follow the Science -- liberals/progressives/leftists never learned that human beings are evolved PREDATORS and therefore violence and kill-or-be-killed is at the root core of all humans . . . no matter how spiritually advanced they seem to be. Almost all humans WANT to brutalize or kill other human beings when frustrated or frightened enough . . . it's just that most people have been conditioned by the cultures and traditions of their upbringing -- the traditions and culture that leftists WANT to do away with by the way -- not to do that . . . this time.

Remove guns and people revert to knives, remove knives and they revert to clubs and bricks, remove those and they revert to other things that ANY intelligent homo-sapien can figure out to substitute for these missing items . . . including hands and feet backed up by street level fighting skills. An elbow to the Adam's Apple works wonders in a pinch.

Humans can and always will find a way. Intelligent people know this; which is why no leftist can ever figure that out.

you left out acid attacks -- battery acid to the face is just part and parcel of living in a rich and vibrant city, such as London
