Official figures show knife crime is at record high levels, with 40,147 cases since 2011.
Westmonster has reported these increased knife attacks, including the manslaughter of Reagan Asbury, whose killer was sentenced for just 14 years, and a triple stabbing in Camberwell on Wednesday.
These figures come as the public demand tougher sentences; a new YouGov poll found that 24% of the public think the main political parties are too soft when it comes to the justice system.
There has been an almost 60% increase in knife crime since 2014, when there was a record low of just 25,588 recorded cases.
London saw the highest rise in cases of any city in the country, with an increase of 2,643 cases since last year alone. From March 2017-8 in London, there has been equivalent to almost one murder every two days.
Our leaders need to wake up and end the soft justice system in UK courts, or more people will suffer the terrible consequences.
