Another day, another sunrise, another sunset, another mother who will never see her baby again.
The knife problem plaguing our streets is getting worse.
But why? Why in the space of two years has it become so easy?
So easy to push a knife into the chest of another human being, so easy to watch as their heart stops, so simple to watch their mum break down in tears on TV and know that you did that.
Where has the fear of consequences gone?
Until these predators feel fear, the kind of fear they inflict on their victims, this will not stop – but this has to stop.
