Let's crunch the numbers:

- In the year ending March 2021 there were 41,000 instances of recorded knife crime in the UK.

- 224 deaths as a result of a stabbing in the same period.

- Since 1970 there have been 3,395 deaths (total) from any form of terrorism in the UK.

In the US:

- 19,384 deaths as a result of a shooting. (2020)

Sure, we have violence, but it's on a whole different level.

Where did I say it was the same level? I just said the nature of the threat is different.
