Has anyone thought of inviting Khan up from Londonistab to ask his advice? He’s very good at sorting out issues similar to the ones in BirmingHAM. He’ll probably be the best one to tell you which meetings to have to chat about making the toilets unisex and where to get a balloon

Saddening! Life is precious ❤

But they all look ethnics.

part and parcel?

Cut and paste response is all.

Pity the Police don’t have the power to stop and then search people ! Oh but they do have but didn’t they get slagged off for doing so and then got called racist by leftie politicians and media bbcskyetc

Not a mention of police cuts, this epidemic is most definitely linked to ConHome ukhomeoffice theresa_may sajidjavid cuts and austerity. They were warned by PFEW_HQ at conference and we were told we were cryingwolf !

Do any white people stab anymore ?

whats the common denominator here.

Yeah but stop and search is racist

So what?

Britain falling on its own sword.

It’s a choice, where the mandatory sentences for carrying?

Its not a crisis, if anything its a miracle the murder rate is as low as it is.

Knife crime is overwhelmingly perpetrated by a particular demographic. It's a cultural problem created by Labour's mass immigration in their attempt to 'Rub the Right's nose in diversity'.

No sh*t Sherlock..

Cultural enrichment!

The big let-off comes less than a year after ministers announced to… The MayorofLondon will probably give them a job handing out 'Welcome to London - Stab capital of Europe' t-shirts Ok give them a year This is a moral conundrum. If I was prime minister I would ban ALL metal knives and only allow plastic ones. But this would damage the environment with more plastic. It’s a tough one!

Sound like they need common sense knife legislation in London. Let’s start registering knives, this is getting out of control. Only deterrent to stop this is the return of the public hangman. I wonder how many would apply for the job?
