Britain is at a “boiling point” over knife crime, the actor Idris Elba warned on Monday as he and campaigners staged a protest at Parliament calling for a ban on zombie knives and other action to stop blade killings.
The London born star said he was speaking out after meeting bereaved families because not enough was being done to halt the bloodshed despite a succession of tragedies including the New Year’s Eve blade killing of 16-year-old Harry Pitman on Primrose Hill.
