Chicken takeaway boxes warn of knife crime danger

Chicken boxes featuring warnings about the dangers of carrying a knife have been sent to takeaways in England and Wales as part of a government campaign.

Real life stories of young people who chose positive activities over carrying a weapon are printed inside the boxes.'Thousands' of 14-year-olds carry knives Both independent and branch-owned chicken shops will carry the new boxes, and many will also house digital screens highlighting the campaign. "The public need to be made aware not all knife crime is carried out by young people, black people and gangs," the founder of Binning Knives Saves Lives said.The special boxes feature real life stories of young people

Could they turn up the racial profiling anymore? What next? Obesity warnings on Irn Bru? Alcohol warnings on bags of potatoes?

Is this because all knife criminals first have a chicken takeaway before stabbing someone?

Unsurprisingly patronising! This Conservatives government is completely out of touch with the realities in our communities. Parents out of work, schools exclusions, inadequate youth provisions, food banks, poor housing conditions with zero life chances. A bleak future! Get it?

For dianeabbott_mp to suggest this is a racist initiative is ludicrous. knifecrime is rife among young people in particular. Young people from all cultural and ethnic backgrounds, frequent fast food establishments (inc Chicken Shops). McDonalds next I hope.

Maybe they can also add a warning about obesity on the boxes while they are at it diabetes

FFS 🤨

Let’s go all the way & close down every take away shop! After all someone might get killed with a greasy fish & chips box ! Ban everything . Oh & restaurants, they have knives! Wait , AND the chef! All the butchers!! Let’s shut down the country & feel safe!! KnifeFree

Shame they can't read.

It’s almost as if commentators are more concerned about the optics of this campaign than they are about the record number of young people murdered on our streets.

should put them on mcdonalds packaging instead..seen the kids that sit around them recently?

What about running with scissors?

and they say our government is out of touch, can't think why. I don't know even where to start with this but there is soooo much wrong with it.

Knife warning in fried chicken? That’s subtle 😂

Forks up, Knives down. (Bikes up, Knives down)

Poor vegetarian. No warning.

need to up the prison sentence to 10 years for carrying a knife

The only way to stop bad guys with knives are good guys with knives.

Why chicken?

What bout maccy ds ? Or an indian ? Why chicken....hmmmm stereotypical bullshit from the uk goverment

Those chicken boxes have done more to prevent knife crime in London than SadiqKhan

Have we really reached the point where chicken takeaway boxes have armed themselves and are threatening our feral youth?

When your target audience profile is made by racists?

Most of the idiots butchering each other cannot feking read If it’s in mandinka that might work

you can’t be serious?! to tackle knife cream they print stories on grease cardboard?!?! 🤦‍♀️

That will make streets safer ...

Plastic knives?

Are you guys over there shanking each other for chicken? 🤔

Ofcom this isn’t a good way to present issue; IMO it should be pulled because it creates a toxic, potentially divisive and discriminatory campaign. HackneyAbbott jonsnowC4 ChukaUmunna joswinson DavidLammy SadiqKhan MayorofLondon Channel4News guardian SharLovegrove

They don't know what else to do because it's out of control. And all Diane Abbott does is condemn anything that may help when she should be doing everything possible to stop it but she doesn't.

What the cluck?

Christ. All. Mighty.

Cheaper than youth clubs, jobs, decent housing, etc. etc.

noracism ?

God sakes . msm at its best. Put khan in a takeaway box.

Knife crime no more
