>1900 knives off the street

Where would they be getting said knives? Oh, no bother
I am sure it takes the criminals a long time to forge a whole knoife, must be right difficult for a daft Ned to forge himself a due seax

Having talked to UK police officers, crime and murder in London was rising before 2020 pandemic and since then really fell down to fuck all during pandemic and after.

Really fucking benign reason. Every young person would have been a wannabe retard gangsta is just fucking on their phone all the time. He said young criminals are just pacified by smartphone and Internet addiction that just made them less social and less interested in joining a gang. Also the whole UK drill subculture in London really fucking fell off because all of them got arrested.

well now the "no internet for kids" thing makes perfect sense

They just stopped reporting it. They do the same thing here.

Yeah I mean smartphones and social media do make kids fucking retarded but they also pacify them. You want a bunch to teens to shut the fuck up and be quiet and not break shit then just hand them smart phones and let them mindlessly scroll through TikTok. Problem, is when you need them to try and listen and do work you have to take the phones away and they go fucking batshit insane and cannot focus. Like a fucking crackhead without crack

t. Used to work as a teacher

Throw out the unwanted immigrants and it would drop to nearly zero I'm sure.

pretty much
lol almost the entirety of every generation to grow up with one in their faces from toddlers on is lost

>>538693612
No, it's cause they are faggots and people here were planning on going to UK to kill those faggot ass rappers just to prove a point. Everybody wants to be gangster until their family is dead.

>>538693612
Doesn't the fact that the UK simply stopped reporting and recording crime statistics in the majority of cases have something to do with it too?

>>538694676
People say that but if you talk to Londoners they will say shit on the estates weirdly calmed down after Covid. Not in a happy flappy way. Just all the potentially dangerous youts turned into zombies or special needs kids.

If you look into it there's actually more stabbings than ever, there's just been so many for so long that hospitals have gotten more efficient at saving stabbing victims lives.

>>538693426
There is no such thing as "knife crime"
