Dangerous: Gun-related crime in England may be on the wane, but criminals are making up for the shortfall with deadly machete attacks, which occur every 90 minutes, according to newly available data.
Police are how contending with rising numbers of machete-based murders, rapes, robberies, and burglaries.
A Mail Online report published on Thursday details how criminals are “using machetes more and more to instill terror in their victims.” New police data shows that in the last two months of 2017, police handled 928 crimes involving machetes—an average of 15 attacks a day.
In just those two months, London saw 425 machete-based attacks. As the Mail Online reports, the statistics show a dramatic rise from 2014, when machetes were only involved in 100 crimes a month.
The weapon came to prominence after British soldier Lee Rigby was hacked to death in broad daylight in May 2013. MORE
Is it wrong my first reaction is….hahahaha.?
If only politicians would ban the people responsible for the attacks. No gun, knife or any object can act on it’s own.
London can now reap what it sowed. As for me, I will continue to carry concealed and England will not be in any of my travel plans. Of course that includes no visits to New Jersey or New York, been to both and have no desire to go back.
“England, Can kiss My Ass!”
Britain outlawed sheep dogs and replaced them with lambs.
The powerful islamic wolves are eating the disarmed, well conditioned, weak sheep of the Not-So-Great Britain.
Well, you can’t just take away the machetes from migrants. The crops of…something or other…potatoes?…can’t be harvested and will rot on the fields.
If the people only had some kind of tool to protect themselves with.
Hmmmmmm.
Machetes need to be banned. Along with cricket bats, tire irons, baseball bats, forks and other instruments of death.
I’d rather be shot than hacked up by a machete. Not going to England, I’ll defend myself as I see fit here.
Spork Ackbar!
Oh snap! Machetes weren’t on the list!
It’s high time to be more worried about being judged by 12 than carried by 6 doncha think Brits? Or does that make too much sense and offend yer delicate sensibilities…
BAN FULL AUTO MACHETES
Conceal Carry a small chainsaw
How’s that knife ban workin’ for ya, Mayor Mohammed of Londonistan?
As was once said: “The man with one eye is King in the land of the Blind.”
Well, the man with a machete is King in the land of the unarmed.
England – following in the footsteps of the Irretrievably Lost.
Tiptoe Through the Tulips, indeed.

Jihad-enabling muzzie mayor.
Brits disarmed.
Muzzies immune to prosecution.
Crimes whitewashed.
Press suborned.
Freedom of speech curtailed.
Victims persecuted.
All part of the plan…
Machete attacks became more prevalent in Florida as waves of Haitians and Jamaicans started arriving in significant numbers. But I’m sure the attacks in GB must be “home grown” in nature, right?
England is lost. Destroyed from within.
Vietvet,
Thank you. He always seemed so … British.
