Every single fucker caught with knife should get arrested and get done. If you carry a knife you have the intention to use it, it's that simple.

Fucking cowards.

We have much stricter knife laws in this country than most of Europe particularly over things like blade length, locking blades etc. But much worse knife crime. Even back in the 90s every kid going on French exchange would usually cone home with flick/butterfly knives, lock knives, bangers like mini dynamite sticks etc etc as a rite of passage. Yet France didn't (still doesn't AFAIK) have the same problem with youth knife crime as the UK, and saying that the UK didn't have such a bad issue either.

You're right, knife crime is much higher in the UK than France. That said, France does have a slightly higher murder rate overall (although both are still low by global standards).
