Default WTF ? Crazzy freekin brit's and their knives.

At the need of the article someone mentioned that it was a good thing that killers didn't have guns....LMAO !

Since knife crimes are apparently out of control in the UK what basic freedoms should the Labour party take away from the people next ? Time to ban ice picks ?

The UK is an extremely violent society. It's violent crime ratio is 7 times higher than, for example, in Germany...

Since people can't own guns they resorted to knives, but now knives have become a problem because it's the weapon choice.

In the end people will use whatever weapon is available to them, and unfortunately when you put a ban on something it always becomes more widely used, as people want to openly defy the authorities.

Sorry what's the source? The problem is that, living in UK, we're subject to all the shit-stirring propaganda, largely Labour's scaremongering and Daily Mail's bandwagonning in the name of circulation. Obviously then there's the backlash from those who resent the suggestion. It's very difficult to really come across unbiased figures, but I don't think the problem's as bad as our media makes out. I'd like to know what source you've got, see what the rest of the world is saying.
As for taking away basic freedoms, don't get me started. Give it 3 years and I'll be bidding this country a relieved farewell and packing for the Netherlands.

Tehe, I'd best be careful or the thought police will be round. Anywho, I'm cutting down on the meat, nothing veggie but the meat-guzzling west and biofuels are like double-teaming the third world. Aren't I good?!

Yeah. Meat is bad for you anyway.
