    Thanks for clarifying and sorry for speaking for you 😅

    To be fair, as far as I can tell the stats here are a bit misleading. Hospital visits from kinfe crime are down, but general knife crime was at its highest in 2025. I don’t know what the specifics are of that though.

      You’re good. I don’t mean to downplay the importance of tackling knife crime, but my view is just that it ultimately stems from economic inequality, rather than it being too easy to get knives or whatever. People in jail get stabbed too, after all.
