SIX people a week are stabbed to death on the streets of Broken Britain.
Latest figures show a shocking 332 fatalities in a year — the worst toll since records began.
London saw 86 killings in the 12 months to last March, up by a QUARTER on the previous year.
The latest figures show knife deaths have almost doubled in the last 30 years.
Shadow Home Affairs minister James Brokenshire urged automatic jail for knife possession. He said: “It may be harsh, but it is necessary.
“Lives are being lost and others ruined by Labour’s failure to deal with knife crime.”

As with everything else: Simply taking away the "tools" they use will not stop them. We have to find out WHY they feel the need to stab people..

In the UK, hasn't it been growing increasingly more and more difficult not only to acquire a gun permit, but also to maintain that permit?

So what has happened in the past 30 years that could be related to this "highest ever" number of stabbings?

I.E. comfy prison for several years after murdering someone does not deter [color=FFE0A1]these people.
Now if the punishment was more severe then yes it probably would make a difference.

I dont know what sort of motivations [color=FFE0A1]these people have for stabbing folks in the UK but over here murder is rarely about money or anything material or tangible.

It's always about some abstract nonsense such as "reputation" or "street cred".
Even the very well off act out violently and stupidly for these abstract values.
How does any system affect such a nonsensical and intangible quality?
