new statistics so that knife crime in the UK is worse then talked about. The numbers show that up to a 1000 people a year are the victims of knife crimes ever month. So it seems the idea "that if people want to kill they will" holds true. what do you think of this?

Does "how awful" constitute "What do you think", or were you looking for something more specific?

You can breathe easy. Violent crime is higher in the UK than it is in (e.g.) contential Europe, but the UK is still on the low end of the scale for violent crime.

At least you aren't in the US. Then you'd be dealing with shootings instead of stabbings, and a violent crime rate that is averaged out to 4x more than the UK. sweatdrop

They should just ban hands in the UK, because anyone could go up and punch someone. No-one should be allowed to show fingers in public.

Yes.

As guns are so much harder to obtain, and far more regulated than knives, the theoretical gun crime in the UK at such levels of knife crime would warrant stronger words being said about the efficacy of out regulation laws and procedures.
