00:00If you look at the online sales and look at, there is some work that's gone on around what
00:06makes knives attractive, affordable, accessible. And yes, there are people who go to a kitchen knife.
00:12So if we park the domestic element, because that is different, the knives that we see in the street
00:19tend to be the more, I would call, status knives, some of whom are prohibited or are now prohibited.
00:26Swords, you know, there's this consultation going on now about banning ninja swords. These are the
00:31things that they're using in the streets. So, and I try to come back to my point, there is no one
00:38single element that will reduce knife crime. It has to be a collection of things. Your first and
00:45most important thing is understanding why they pick up a knife and use it in the first place.
00:48That's the fundamental thing which needs to be fixed. Bizarrely, it's harder to buy paracetamol
00:54in some respects than it is to buy a knife and that can't be right.
