Ben Kinsella and "No knives!"

The video clip that is contained within this link, strikes me as very moving. I've watched it a couple of times and each time I'm struck by the lack of commentary; just the silence march punctured by the chant:


"Who are we here for?"
"Ben"
"Why are we here?"
"No knives!"

Hundreds of white topped relatives and friends marching for their dead kin. Peacefully making their way forward, powerfully making their point.

Moving stuff!

    As an aside: what would you do to combat knife crime in Manchester? Also, if you were a city councillor, what would you (try) to do?
