Knife attacks in the UK are so low that when it does happen, it makes national news, which paradoxically leads to the impression of knife crime being very high.
You’re now spinning the UK having the lowest knife violence rate as a bad thing somehow, and that it’s a part of a UK conspiracy to make the UK look good lol.
“UK people” are called Brits, btw, and I’m not one of them.
All major cities have a lot of cameras. London is one of those hundreds of cities that do. Shops having CCTV is not “muh literally 1984”.
Japan does. See the swords and firearms act. Is it perfect? Absolutely not. Do I think some of it is dumb? Yep. Does it give a framework for handling people carrying types and/or lengths of blades in a way that punishes them more harshly and discourages people? It sure seems like it.

The UK has the joint lowest levels of knife homicide in the world.
(Tied with Monaco at 0.08 per 100k people)

It doesn’t work except it does, as the UK has low levels of violent crime, and very low levels of knife crime.
Cameras at every street corner? What are you on about? I think you’ve been watching too many conspiracy theorist YouTubers.
Germany has a higher rate of the police CCTV requests than the UK does. So if the UK is literally 1984, then Germany is even worse, no?
Again, people from the UK are called Brits. And I am not British. Do you call Germans “Germany people”?
Having the lowest knife attack rate on the planet is “seriously dangerous behaviour”? Ok then lol.
Chill the xenophobia.

Yup. Japan has a knife homicide rates pretty much as low as the UK and Monaco. Clearly they’re doing something right.
