I believe this is one of your publications in the UK.  I assume its as reputable as most, if not more so.

“As for boys, the most popular name is Muhammad, with Oliver and Noah as runners up.”https://www.countryliving.com/uk/news/a22031548/most-popular-baby-names-in-2018/

“That means that, based on these statistics, you are more than twice as likely to be a victim of knife crime in the UK as you are to be a victim of gun crime in the US.” http://sob.apotheon.org/?p=1323.

According to the FBI, in 2016 there were 1,608 murders in the US from edged weapons.  The US population is well over 300,000,000.  https://dailycaller.com/2018/02/19/knives-gun-control-fbi-statistics/

“The total number of offences involving a knife or bladed instrument that have been recorded by cops in the year to March 2018 rose to 40,147, a seven-year-high. (Didn’t give a number for deaths)

There were 1,299 stabbings in London up to the end of April, according to official statistics from the Met Police.” https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5251268/london-stabbings-knife-crime-statistics-updates/

Population of the UK, what…. 68,000,000?  Just saying.
