Honestly. 10 years for carrying a knife. Over time this would simply stop happening.
Bring back heavy stop and search and put an end to this surge in knife crime.
Parents should now be held accountable. What is all this.??
It’s just never ending and it’s horrendous. I have 2 nephews and it’s terrifying to me that knife crime will probably be more rife by the time they’re teenagers
The worst part is, it’ll only push for gun ownership in the UK. Then it’ll be daily shootings, guarantee it
If my son was stabbed to death. I want the criminal put away for the rest of his life. i.e. he will die in prison.
If he gets stabbed and lives, the perpetrator needs to be put away for a long long time, with no parole or sentence reduction. 20 years min , more if there is permanent damage or disfiguration. If you stab someone you don’t deserve to be in society.
This is irrespective of age.
Justice must be done.
Jesus Christ, that’s less than 4 miles down the road.
Should read. 15 y/o gang member and aspiring professional football player was stabbed to death by a rival 15 y/o aspiring football player gang member. Their all “aspiring” professional something when in court.
Vote Tory for 15 years and as everybody politically informed predicted, the country is on its knees. It’s useless having a facade of being tough if you deliberately dismantle the nation’s police services and allow prison capacity to become full.
We need a government who is willing to actually expand our police forces, pay for quality training, pay for gear, and one that is also prepared to increase sentences for such crimes.
We need tough ideology AND actually sensible funding & strategy behind it.
I fucking hate the stupid fucking knife crime in this damn country.
Build more prisons and actually keep people in them.
And the breaking news is about a murder suicide from an ex husband to his wife with six kids… Jesus Christ britain’s
I knew it was going to B’ham even before reading the article. Fucking hell.
Our justice system needs a rehaul.. i mean 10 years? come on now..

ship these criminals to work in mines in Siberia or Africa for 10 years.
Stopping stop and search is going swimmingly, let’s keep it up!
Paramedic here for the ambulance service, this last month I’ve been to two stabbings both where the victims were under 18. I can’t say much more for patient confidentiality but knife crime is a real problem in this country.
Strict mandatory minimum sentencing is desperately needed for serious crimes like knife attacks, robbery and burglary. 10 year minimums for knife attacks would do the trick.
The current leftwing approach of super-soft sentencing has been a complete disaster.
500 lashes over 5 weeks, good old fashioned beating
I don’t care what age you are. If you are carrying a knife it’s cause you understand why.
No CCTV or witnesses ? No description of the perpetrator ?
looking forward to reading some nuanced, well thought through comments on this.
Crimes like this seem to have been rampant over the Easter holidays or am I imagining it?
