Because real change is just carried out by the appropriate authorities. It's never achieved by civil unrest. Genuine civil unrest involves large communities of determined citizens applying pressure and producing cogent arguements in a variety of ways. There are clear alternative and attainable objectives. Protests are usually peaceful. What we have seen is mindless rioting by drunken louts. Not remotely similar.

The scourge of knife crime is a very real problem. How to solve it an even bigger one. It’s a subject that could occupy a book. Not a comment on a web forum. The only comfort is it isn’t as bad as the gun crime and gun accidents we see in the USA. Introducing this into the subject of meaningless rioting is a diversion though. They are both unacceptable. How exactly is the rioting meaningless? Nothing happened. I guess there was no straw that broke the camel's back. Can somebody please tell me what happened? I didn't notice anything at all. Just more of the same. Feed me some more sh1t and I'll just gobble it up and say thankyou sir and doff my cap. My rulers have my back. Obviously the protection of its population is its highest concern.

Maintaining self control at all times is a mark of maturity. Losing it is an excuse. As anyone charged as a consequence of the rioting will probably find out. Men in their twenties don't tend to have the same thought process as those in their seventies. Maybe Jacob Rees-Mogg did.

How many examples would you require before accepting it? Countless I should imagine.

Any initiative to take these weapons off the street is worth trying but that could be a dodgy period when anyone carrying a knife possession of which carries a potential four year sentence can claim they were on their way to hand it in. 100% agree. Maybe i'm being a bit pedantic here, it says 'Zombie Type' not swords, machetes, sheaf knives, flick knives, lock knives nor even Kitchen knives( i have a lovely set of Japanese Santoku knives). Obviously, i would of hoped that ALL knives are handed in, we know that's not going to happen & as AS said, they'll just nick some & hand those in instead.
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

Obviously the protection of its population is its highest concern. Injuring police officers, destroying property and disturbing a peaceful community has some meaning? I don’t think so. Dealing with it is indeed protecting the population. Well 99% of them.

If a worldwide protest grew out of any of these riots I would gladly walk the coast path of Cornwall on my hands and knees in shame. It’s not a small beginning. It’s opportunistic trouble making by a bunch of bone heads. Rebels without a cause.

Those that don’t aren’t real men. They are the out of control hooligans we saw chucking bricks at the police. And all those who think that’s ok.

It is a good idea. Anything that removes even a few must be welcome. How the police manage it is something we don’t know, but I expect them to be more sware of the potential tricks than any of us.
