    The real public health crisis for the UK is who they have allowed into their country over the years.  They are the ones using the knives, mostly on the Brits themselves.  It amazes me how native Brits sit there silent as their irresponsible government shills fling the doors open to the barbarians.

    I would like to see actual reporting on exactly who is committing the violent acts.

    I know, it can be guessed as to who.  I want to see factual data.

    I am going to take the educated guess and say mentioning any identifying characteristics is not PC and cannot be allowed.

    Oh good grief! You guys really need to find more reputable news sources. LOL

    I live in England and yet again I find myself defending my country against narrow-minded bigots in the fringe press.

    Firstly, Mohammad IS NOT the No.1 boys name. Oliver is 🙂

    Secondly the Muslim population is little more than that in the USA and is a total of 4% of our entire population.

    Knife crime per million is higher in USA than UK. Ergo, you also have an epidemic.

    We do not have an open border policy, don’t confuse us with the EU, Germany in particular.

      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.

    I would add, that most of the UK agree, bans don’t work.

    My 2p: I have been to London on several occasions since 1999. I love the small island and intend to visit again.  I remember seeing knife drop off boxes at the tube stations for the first time in 2007.

    One of my daily news sources slightly less reputable: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-46095279

    From the liberal wiki: There were 607,083 Muslims reported in the 2001 census in the Greater London area.<sup id=”cite_ref-1″ class=”reference”>[1]</sup> In the 2011 census Office for National Statistics, the proportion of Muslims in London had risen to 12.4% of the population (21% of England’s Muslims). In the boroughs of Newham and Tower Hamlets, the percentages of Muslims were over 30%.
