‘Zombie’ knives and machetes banned in England and Wales

Won't make a difference — a murderer can use any sharp object — like a screw driver or a bicycle spoke —- so knives can actually become obsolete

News that doesn't give you numbers and info.
Over 50,000 knife crimes per year. Or 140 a day.

A kitchen knife tied to a broomstick is just as lethal as a "zombie knife" 😂

Wish America only had a knife problem.

Simply bring back capital punishment ffs

If I lived in the UK I'd definitely would find a way to get an illegal gun to defend myself. The west is fucked

Killed by Ni[censored by UK government] and Pa[censored by UK government]. Overwhelming statistical likelihood.

SO VERY SAD

Boy! I sure feel safe now…

Oh wow we banned knifes after banning knifes

Its is amazing how think all the partys in our parliament. There is no such thing as a zombie knife as zombie dont exist. Knife crime will alway happen on the streets. Anybody tell the public gov will deal it is lying. Look at prison to know gov cannot stop knife as home made knive are use in prison and streets. Remember its better to be judged by 12 instead of being carried by 6. Its all you need to know. Also remember baning some knives only meaning using a knife which is not banned. A bread knive and craving knife were favorites in 60s scotland and london. In 5 year time look back and will find find labour failed to stop the knife crime in the same way all gov failed with gun crime. The only guns are with police and criminals now but you can pick up a gun in most citys if you know the people in crime. So labour will fail like the torys and the brown gov and blair gov. As mps are pure idiots when it come to crime.

well – to combat knife crime to that extent the Home Secretary will have to ban ALL knives. Good luck banning kitchen knives…….. Most of the knives used in crime in my area are kitchen knives.

Too little too late.

It's not the knife, its the fact that they're growing up in a miserable place. Cut immigration, reduce the size of the state, cut regulation and allow for business and opportunities.

Punishments need to be severe – at least 10 times worse than the current punishments.

Yoooo so if a real zombie out break happens the UK is dead in the first week 😁😆😂🤣🤭💀

Bhahahahaha I'm fucking dead bro🤣 so banning guns stops the violence oh wait they still use guns. Now banning knives. I have a question if I make the same knife but don't paint it black and leave the green rope off does that make it legal?

Another superfluous law that hurts the innocent. There are existing laws that cover possession and use of offensive weapons. The problem is they aren’t being enforced. The courts are too busy and the prisons too full for the police to be able to make a difference. This Zombie knife law is a distraction from the real problem, that only hurts the innocent. What are gardeners to use to clear overgrown vegetation efficiently now? because you've made the machete illegal? This just underlines the neglect in the schools, police, courts and prisons that successive governments are guilty of.

I have been carrying a knife for over 30 years, not for protection but for the very basic and undeniable fact its a tool, i have never stabbed anyone, in 30 years ive never even threatened anyone with it, when are people going to realize we don't have a knife problem we have a people problem, colour blindness is the root problem

So dumb. Iv seen friends almost beaten to death by a group of guys with sticks.

You gonna ban sticks? Ban trees next? What about hands and feet?

Banning these knives does not make a difference. Do you really think criminals will listen

What sort of idiot would ban a so-called zombie knife when 98% of the deaths in this country are from Kitchen knives? When are they going to ban zombie spoons and forks that make people obese and die?

Going to do very little I’m afraid

its not knifes its black youth
