Dave the Gnome BS: Brexit & other UK political topics - 3 (993* d) RE: BS: Brexit & other UK political topics - 3 21 Feb 25

Dick, the very first paragraph of you first link

"In the year ending March 2023, there were 590 homicides recorded in England and Wales, representing a 14% decrease from the previous year. This figure marks the lowest number of homicides since March 2016"

Your second link was about an individual stabbing which was very sad but also contained the line

"This area, which includes Birmingham, Coventry and Wolverhampton, previously had the highest rate but reported knife crime fell in the latest figures"

So, if you thought they did anything to prove that violence was increasing, they didn't!

You did pose the question "Is the uk becoming more like USA?, Substitute   guns for knives"

To which the answer is no as the articles you linked indicate that knife crime is reducing. If you are trying to compare knife crime in the UK with gun crime in the USA then you are barking up the wrong tree entirely. Much like the MAGA gun nuts.
