Just ban violence!
Ministry of Justice figures show that some 21,484 knife and offensive weapon offences were recorded for 2018, the highest figure since 2009 — when the country was still in the wake of the financial crisis and unemployment was significantly higher.
Fully 4,430 of these offences, or 21 percent of the total figure, involved a criminal aged 10 to 17, highlighting the increasing propensity for violence as social cohesion breaks down in the British capital of London and other major urban centres.
Only 37 percent of convicts being given an immediate custodial sentence, with the average term lasting only 8.1 months. In most cases only half of these terms will actually be served in custody before the offender is released automatically to serve the remainder of their time “on licence in the community”.
Spiralling knife, drugs, and gang crime in London has been leading many concerned Somali parents to send their teenage offspring, who grew up in Britain, away to Africa for their own safety.
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/mar/09/british-somalis-send-sons-abroad-to-protect-against-knife-crimeWith 50 to 70 per cent of members of the Somali community in Islington, north London, “directly affected” by knife violence and ‘county lines’ drugs crime, mothers who arrived from the troubled African country during the 1990s told the Observer they felt they had “no choice” but to send their children away from an increasingly dangerous UK.
Sadia Ali, the treasurer of the Islington Somalia Forum and a mother of seven, said she sent her 15-year-old son away to live in the country she once fled as a result of the threat of local gang violence in London, telling the newspaper that many other families in the area have done likewise for their children’s safety.

It's also funny, looking at knife crime stats...
Knife murders in the U.S per population is actually still HIGHER than in the U.K.
Eg 2016/17 murders from knives...
U.S 4.96 per million
U.K 3.26 per million
But then you also have the gun homicide stats (completely ignoring other angles like suicides as well)...
U.S 34 per million
U.K 0.4 per million
Are guns really helping stop knife crime, as they are still higher ? Doesn't look like it, does it.
Facts are pesky.
More people massacred in Vegas on one day than killed by knifes in London during the past 18 months.

All this violence is puzzling
Maybe the law should intervene
Ban hate and violence
For our convenience
All this violence is threatening
Hate is in need of censoring
Ban hate and violence

I wonder how many people would listen to the first half of that song without ever thinking it might be satire.
U.K. Knife Crime Rises. Are Budget Cuts to Blame?
No, the reallocation of "police" into social justice arenas is more likely.
Recruiting "diversity", bureaucratic paperpushers, house calls to harrass law-abiding citizens, as Judges can "deem" whatever they want...
I’m just asking you to be mindful about what you’re putting on there, in case it’s deemed as inciting,” said the officer.

The craze is spreading through Snapchat and Instagram and is referenced in drill rap videos.

Drill rap is a Chicago product. Drill = shooting, though in the London version it is kniving of/c.
Why should Youtube intervene? Just let them all take each other out, like in USA.
