As knife crime surges, Nigel Farage dismisses the government's latest announcement on a 'crackdown' on zombie style knives.

Speaking to his GB News viewers, Nigel fumed: "Do we really need more legislation? Do we need promises coming from both sides of the of the political divide that something will be done? Might it not be better to enforce the laws that we've actually currently got?

"Might not be better to go back to stop and search in the streets and in the areas where knife crime is prevalent? Wouldn't that make more sense than yet more promises of bans and tougher sentences? Frankly, whether it's a zombie knife or a knife you get from your kitchen drawer, it is not about the weapon, it's about the person that is using it. That's how I feel."
