Nice positive words, sadly very unlikely to practically prevent such attacks.
In the 12 months to March 2021 there are 44,285 police reports of knife/sharp object crime. 221 murders and 23 dead children (under 17).
Society needs to increase the deterrent to make carrying and using a knife life-changing for the perpetrators.
Until that happens words, however well-intended, will be ineffective.
Maybe stop and search method will help.
Can’t see anybody being against that. Oh. Hang on, isn’t that already massively against in London??
