something needs to be done,my son john fletcher was stabbed in october 2006 and almost died,it was a nightmare for me and my family,i still have nightmares over it,something needs to be done about knife crime

i think the government need to do something about these knife crimes before another innocent persons life is lost and there family is torn by heartbreak. Its not enough setting out proposals, lifes are being lost today not tomorrow. Ihope they don't let all these innocent lifes that have been sadly taken away go in vain. Not only have the government got responibilty for the safety of out nation, parents and society also must hold some of the blame. These few who think its trendy to carry knifes and use them are nothing but scum and cowards. They spread fear to all good decent people. They also give all the youths a bad name. This needs to be addressed by the government. Those that know of them that carry knifes should do the best thing for them and innocent people who they take there anger on, phone the police. I would if it was my children, my neighbour or my friend.

so bailing these thugs means it is alright to go out and carry a knife and kill someone now because you wont get sent down, the law is backwards
