About 9.30, 10pm? I got diverted off the Tyne Bridge about then.Horrific that mind.
There was something on the Tyne Bridge too. Not sure if it's connected. It sounded like a suicide attempt.

10 years minimum for anyone carrying a blade
Sounds good until everyone starts carrying guns
Well that's not likely to happen as you can't buy one in this country like you can in the USA.
Ah shit, I'll remind everyone sniffing coke that it's not legal over here...
That's a totally different situation and you're being facetious
I think you're being a bit naive. One of the main reasons people carry knives is the almost complete lack of deterant in regards to jail time.
Impose lengthy sentences and a large portion of said criminals will find guns. It's not like they aren't here already, it's just that it's a much greater punishment.
I wouldn't say I'm being naive, I totally agree with you in fact on the lack of deterrent.
Same sentence for those who have guns as knives. The intent is there whether or not they're used.
Again, similar sentencing will just drive the use towards the more deadly of the two choices.
I'm not suggesting that people should be able to avoid jail, as they currently can, but I think its a bit more complex than just increasing the sentencing.
Also what I heard (trying to break up a fight between young kids). Apparently stabbed with a screwdriver! I'd imagine there should be plenty of witnesses and CCTV so here's hoping they catch the cowardly little shits that did it.
I heard he was stabbed in the head or neck so if it was a screwdriver that was the weapon, the damage must’ve been horrendous. I’ve seen two people stabbed with one dying and it’s not a pretty sight. What possesses these mindless idiots to carry out such horrific acts of violence over petty bollocks? I’m gutted for the bloke and his family.
If you're caught with a weapon, it should be an instant community service charge and/or fine. Constantly sticking people in and out of prison obviously isn't going to solve anything
And according to the media, Priti Patel was ridiculously out of touch when she previously expressed support for the death penalty.
This is despite support only dropping below 50% in polling about five years ago (having always previously been above 50% since abolition), and support still comfortably exceeding opposition (keeping in mind the 'don't knows').
Increase in chicken shopsWhat’s happening to the North East?
It’s turned into a right hell hole. A cesspit, even
not sure if serious.
Arm the police too, it's just getting daft.
Explain how putting someone in prison for carrying a weapon - so the intent is there even if not used - is going to solve the problem.
Actually getting to the root of why they're carrying a weapon in the first place may prevent or dissuade others from carrying one.
Sticking them in prison is expensive and probably doesn't solve the problem
