In Response To Growing Number Of Fistfights, London Mayor Bans Hands

LONDON—In response to a recent outbreak in fistfights, London mayor Sadiq Khan announced Monday a sweeping ban of hands in the city, effective immediately.

 

“No excuses: there is never a reason to have hands in a modern, civil society. Anyone who does will be caught, and they will feel the full force of the law,” Khan said at a press conference announcing the new policy during which he revealed that he has had his own hands surgically removed as a good-faith move to jump-start the new regulations.

The number of children aged 16 and under treated for stab wounds in hospitals has soared more than 60 per cent in the last five years, highlighting a “disturbing” trend towards younger victims, The Independent can reveal. 

NHS figures show the number of stab victims in England aged 10 to 16 rose by 63 per cent between 2011-12 and 2016-17 – four times the rate of increase in the population as a whole.

It comes amid a spate of violence in London involving young people, which has seen 10 teenagers killed since the start of the year alone, seven of them with knives.

It's interesting how you quote percentages, and not actual numbers.

Yes odd indeed maybe you missed this part, or since it was not calling Trump some absurd juvenile  name with orange in it, you could not follow it 

An analysis of the most recent data available shows 285 youngsters below 17 were treated for “assaults with a sharp object” in 2016-17, compared with 175 in 2012-13.

The biggest increase was among 15-year-olds, with the number of children this age seen by consultants for knife wounds up by 85 per cent since 2012, from 52 to 96.

Well you could have quoted the actual figures listed in the article, but instead you went with percentages.
