LONDON - Two teenagers were killed in knife attacks in Britain over the weekend, bringing the number of people killed in stabbings this year to at least 24 and pushing the bloodshed to the forefront of national concern.
“There is no hiding from this issue ... serious violence is on the rise, communities are being torn apart and families are losing their children,” Javid said in parliament. At the same time, police have suffered big cuts in staffing and funding under austerity measures imposed by Prime Minister Theresa May’s government, particularly during her tenure as interior minister in the years before she took the top job.
“A Knife to the Heart of Britain”, the Daily Mail splashed across its front page on Monday along with a photograph of Chesney. Prime Minister May rejected claims that falling police numbers following funding cuts was fuelling the rise in knife crime.
