    “Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the incident was “shocking,” adding: “Such violence has no place on our streets.“

    A truly worthless statement from someone with actual power to make changes that would make people less inclined to commit public attacks. I’m presuming this guy lashed out from despair because of his surroundings, possibly economic pressures that Sunak and the Tory ghouls continue to make worse for everyone.

        In the US people like that use guns, because they’re so easily accessible. Elsewhere people use other weapons, notably a sword in this case. Banning the weapon is unlikely to stop the next rando attack.

        Opportunities like subsidized state mental health services and meeting someone’s basic human needs goes a long way in stopping someone from despairing so much that they attack randos on the street.

        Tories are groß capitalists who don’t care to have those needs met for anyone but themselves

          Banning the weapon is extremely likely to stop the next rando attack, and the next one and the next one and the next one…

          Then yes, someone will get a hold of a weapon and commit a crime, but dozens more were prevented

          GTFO with your excuses
