What the petition asks
It is evident that Knife crime around the UK has become an increasing worry with nearly 40 deaths due to Knife crime this year so far.
There is a clear link between Theresa May’s cut in police funding and the increase in knife violence. Everyday people are losing their loved ones over the government not ensuring that there is a sufficient amount of policing. The government absolutely needs to fix this issue by asserting their authority through the police force and making sure the law is being obeyed, after all it is their job! Let’s get to the root of the problem and solve this crisis before it gets any worse.
