        Where did this policy come from? Who gave the Met this idea? Is there any evidence this works? Scotland, Police Scotland, Yes. But the BBC will be damned if it ever recognises successes in devolved policy making. Arseholes.

        Why do we have Homicides in London, and murders in Glasgow?

        Would this be the plan based on the highly acclaimed, and successful , one in Glasgow ? By the @theSNP ?

        How many more launches of policies to engage with potential gang members do we have before someone admits it just ain't working?

        Yeah a 100 dead in London from knife crime by 18th September is a great success 🤔

        Don't think it's been implemented there yet. The violence reduction approach described has worked in Scotland for knife crime, and in Delaware and elsewhere,

        When will this government ban the selling of these knives period. I was at Great Yarmouth and a sports and tackle shop we’re openly selling knives that should not be bought by anyone.
