UK Law on gun/knife crime? What's your view on the following?

There are no pros as regards carrying a knife with the intent to cause injury ,and that includes carrying one for ''protection''. If you use knives in your occupation say a chef or a builder or woodcarver then your tools of the trade can be carried in a secure holder like a knife roll or toolbox preferably a lockable carrier. Carrying a knife gives a false sense of superiority and 99 times out of a hundred it will be the carrier of the blades who are injured.

The last government promised that carrying a knife would carry a mandatory five year jail term however the average sentence for carrying a knife is less than three months with the perpetrator usually out in less than a month.

There is no need to carry one in the city Thats asking for trouble, But this anti-knife law is annoying for people in the country who need knives or for camping when you may have to pass through a town carrying a knife. I think any one who needs a knife should have a knife licence or something.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
