Amazon helps out in the stabbing crisis

Funny thing is I could go to my local tesco and get a knife better than these ones, I could even go to my local camping store and get something better, hell I could even go downstairs and have enough knives for the rest of my life.

Probably **** all to be honest.

If knives were made illegal at great inconvenience to the majority of the population, then these teenagers would get knives illegally or just use something else (e.g. scissors, glass, bricks).

Hunting, like the filter suggests.

Which is how many people in the UK?

think again ....

Apart from members of gangs and people intent on violence, how big is the market for these weapons?

That must be some Tesco, offering a range of hundreds of obviously aimed-at-people 'hunting' knives.

In the grip of a national crisis of murder by stabbing, it's good to see the major online players doing their bit. Here for example is Amazon offering an attractive range of designer lethal weapons for every taste in a range of appealing colours and styles.

With such reasonably priced lethality, perhaps the next step is to offer body bags, funerals and condolence cards under Customers Who Bought these Also Liked.

And why would normal people want training knives and guns?

And come to that, what is the legitimate use of these knives in the UK?

You have to laugh that Amazon demand a signature to prove that you are over 18 to collect one of these.

How long I wonder would it take the government to rush through a ban on selling these things online and what difference would that make to the crisis almost immediately? It's almost as if our government had some kind of weak, toadying relationship to the online giants.

Because the only purpose of a knife is to stab someone...

Self-defence instructors/practitioners who want to fool others/themselves into thinking there's any realistic way of defending against a knife attack that doesn't involve running very fast in the opposite direction.

there isnt a stabbing crisis in london, please stop with this middle age white wineo hysteria

"There were 39,818 knife crime offences in the 12 months ending September 2018.

This is a two-thirds increase from the low-point in the year ending March 2014... and is the highest number since comparable data was compiled."

funny how none of these graphs go past like 2010. places like peckham in the early 2000s were a warzone, far worse than today, anyone and everyone would be killed. bare in mind, most of these aren't random attacks the people getting stabbed are affiliated.

now stop crying smh
