Tougher action to tackle knife crime
Make it mandatory that any person carrying a knife is made to do public service for a 12 month min period regardless of age. Give automatic Long prison sentences to those who commit a crime using a knife and put more metal detectors in public places as mandatory.
Children have the right to feel safe when out in public without fear of being stabbed. We see it happen in shopping centres, nightclubs,walking to school, celebrating new year the list is endless but the government have done nothing to stop this from happening and it’s on the news every single day! The government acted fast ban xxl dogs and bringing in laws but have done very little to protect our children. Give them a right to be safe on our streets and enjoy a childhood where they do not need to worry about being stabbed.
