Seriously, why no tags? They practically write themselves.
KNIVES, KNIFE-CRIME, BRITAIN TO BE THE NEW PRISON ISLAND

Totally. Since any Brit beyond nursery school can fashion pretty much anything into a stabbing implement within seconds, I'm curious to see how they will define 'knife' in this context. Ah, it's "any weapon carried to the scene" for the purpose of inflicting injury.
So wait until your victim goes into a knife and fork shop, or a restaurant even, before making your move.
