Ban knives and increase minimum sentences for certain offences

The answer is simple, ban knives & increase minimum sentences to 10 years for possession with intent and 20 years for using a knife, and a whole life sentence for taking a life.

So far nothing has really had any significant impact on deterring people from carrying or using a knife and we have to adopt a zero tolerance approach so anyone even considering carrying a knife knows they risk an automatic 10 years in prison just for possession with intent, 20 years for using a knife and a whole life sentence for taking a life. We see knife crime almost everyday, lives are taken too soon all the time and something has to be done. No more half measures or token gestures, Zero Tolerance.
