Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch and it seems the legislation of pointy things has been somewhat of a bust.
Calls for bleed kits to be installed in every major bus station and on bus routes in areas affected by serious violence have been backed by the London Assembly.
Assembly Members unanimously passed a motion requesting that Transport for London (TfL) to work with the London Ambulance Service (LAS) to ensure the kits will be made available across the network.
Bleed control kits help stem severe bleeding from deep wounds before emergency services arrive – a “potentially valuable method of saving lives”.[…]
Elly Baker, Labour’s transport spokesperson proposed the motion.
“I’ve heard too often from young people that they don’t always feel as safe as they should do travelling,” she said.
“Passing this motion will show that we are listening to young people and backing the investigation of a potentially valuable method of saving lives.”
Don’t miss: Why stopping knife crime needs to start in the kitchen
I have another potential solution. Allow concealed carry, and waste the knife wielders!
100%
And I have an even better one. Send all the fragging Pakis back to their shytehole country.
Some unidentified type (we know who) just car rammed a synagogue in Michigan and tried to burn the place down and go on a shooting rampage. Even Reform Jews are not that stupid. He was shot dead by armed security.
Best outcome.
There is no need for mercy. They would have none for you.
I recommend preventing the bleeding, not trying to stop the bleeding.

Everyone should be properly dressed
As with all politicians, these idiots cannot discern the difference between “cause” and “effect”.
LOL, Nothing says safe like , no worries about the moment a knife is forced threw your flesh violently ,not once but maybe multiple times . And some vegetable that let it get this bad , has to do trauma first aid as your blood is squirting out of your body, and where is the person with the knife ?
Wow , shades of what’s to come for this country.
Absolute lunacy disguised as responsibility and fixing a serious problem – yeah blow the guy away.
If there is any doubt anyone that points the obvious out as it gets worse isn’t going to be silenced In a society you’re fooling yourself.
Next all those bleed kits will be placed at every street corner.
Pointed knives, assault firearms, helmets on junior cyclists, child safety seats, .. is there an end to the absurd “be afraid; be vewwy afraid.” hoaxes and scams? What happened to common sense?
Agreed. And not even assault firearms. In Canada, it is “assault STYLED” firearms. In other words, all that matters is how it looks. Is it black and scary? Ban it, even if it is only useful for hunting.
Because appearances are all that matter. And the average Canadian voter will only see the word “assault” and not realize what the gov’t is actually banning.
Heh …. The Canadian mass media cartel absolutely love’s the definition, even though, its not so. From the lexicon of newspeak.
Sounds robust to them, it elevates their importance, legends in their own mind.
Bleed kits? Whatever happened to, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?”
How about “common-sense knife control”: background checks, knife registration, and a 3-day waiting period to buy one?
Or, you might address the real problem: the perpetrators and not the instrument.
Bleed kits:
Now THAT is SURRENDER.
The trouble with these nanny-staters is that they only think of solutions in relation to the immediate problem. I bet you that not one of them has thought ahead about the very real chance that an aspiring victim of Christian colonialism/racism could easily get his hands on files – or lord help us, angle-grinders – and quickly fashion a really pointy and sharp knife from a rounded dull one.
So, back to the drawing board!
New York City in about 5 years.
From afar, it does look like the governments on all levels in Yee Old Britin (sic) are taking the 1984 as a handbook on how to run a government.
They have these things they call councils.
If you’re old enough or read history, there was this place once called Soviet Union. Soviet is what in Britain call council. It was a council of local government. Of course, you can imagine who controlled the local government to the last person.
The British version is not there yet, though in due time it will get there, ever so slowly, ever so cleverly, ever so easy, they won’t even notice until it will be too late.
Britains are incapable of admitting they allow themselves to be ruled by morons.
Britain: a stupid little country. It’s what Canada wants to be when it grows up.
‘kits’. placed in public places in plain sight.
aka something else for the druggies to steal.
l know this because when l lived in Pt Dalhousie adjacent to st catharines ‘with an a’. the life preservers placed on the pier kept disappearing.
this was mid 80s. its just gotten worse everywhere.
He takes the stick.
He rubs it on a rock.
The stick becomes pointy.
He retains the rock in one hand as a club and the pointy stick in the other hand for stabbing.
Neither the rock nor the stick needs to be regulated.
What kind of man is he?
Sharpened pencils will be next.
GOAT humpers will resort to square ended execution swords.

Well, if you’re serious about stopping knife crime, I’ll back you to the hilt!
And we need these kits in restaurants! People will want dressings with their salad!
