  1. UK is 198th out of 203 countries for deaths by sharp object. Were almost the safest in the world.

    Data comes from 2019

    Monaco is the safest for knife crime although you are more than 10 times more likely to be shot in Monaco than you are in the UK using deaths per 100k population as a measure.

    The UK and London are very safe even with the media using terms like Gun Chester or Knife Capital.

  2. My heart breaks for the family of that young lad who was just going to school 😢😢😢😢 and that maniac murdered him …😡😡 life is so meaningless to so many these days….

  3. You must be insane to stab a 13 year old. My condolences to the parents of the boy ❤ (I live near Bancrofts and I seriously can’t believe this happened) so vile honestly

  4. We need a first amendment law in the UK. The police having to defend themselves against armed criminals with a bat and a fly zapper, and ordinary citizens left completely helpless…… Ridiculous state of affairs.

  5. We finally have his name and surprise surprise it’s another foreign 🐀, which we already knew because if an attack is ever done by someone British you get their name pretty much straight away

    I have absolutely no doubt this will be yet another‘diminished responsibility’ BS case

  6. That little girl all alone. Tazers don't always work.What bravery. Heartbreaking that these youngsters put their lives at risk for us. Care in the community actually means death in the community.

  7. I heard about that on Channel 4 in my home country Ireland 🇮🇪 yesterday afternoon. That man must have gone completely mad. Everything has caused the MADNESS!
