"Idris Elba Advocates for Stricter Measures Against Knife Crime in the UK"
Actor Idris Elba is urging the UK government to expedite the ban on "zombie" knives and machetes to address the rising issue of knife crime, emphasizing the need for immediate action to prevent further loss of young lives. The Home Office has stated that work is underway to extend the ban to include zombie-style machetes, but campaigners argue that the legislation process is moving too slowly. Elba's campaign, Don't Stop Your Future, aims to tackle serious violence and raise awareness of the human cost of knife crime, with support from families affected by such tragedies.
