Stop knives being carried through ‘religious’ exemptions.

Stop knives being carried through ‘religious’ exemptions. — 13 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Recent tragic events have shown how wrong it is to allow religious exemptions on carrying knives in public.

Additional details

It is complete madness that we allow people to carry knives in public where they are exemplified but ones’s religion. Carrying a blade in public is against UK law. As we have tragically seen, this does not stop them being used to kill. People from religions that allow knife carrying should abide by UK law if they want to stay on the country - and that includes not carrying a knife in public. No exceptions!
