‘The government can rush through laws for those striking for a decent wage-but do nothing on knife crime.’

Last week Havering residents witnessed another horrendous knife crime incident. A gang of males were seen fighting each other with knives on South Street just after 5pm.

Some were shocked and others just crossed the road and accepted the fact that this is just another knife incident.

The police arrived within minutes and closed the area off-but this is not a situation that we can police our way of.

Hornchurch resident Mr Wyatt has hit out at those in authority for their repeated failure to do anything.

Mr Wyatt told the Havering Daily:

“I have heard of a 15 year old girl lose her life to knife crime. 15 years old!

“What I don’t understand is that the government can rush through laws for those striking for a decent wage, but do nothing on knife crime.

“Carry a knife and get five to life. Injure or kill with a knife, life without parole and no exception.

“Until these issues are seriously addressed, nothing will improve and this will continue everyday.”
