There were 285 knife murders in England and Wales in 2017/18 — the highest number since the Second World War — and 34 in Scotland, giving a combined British rate of 0.48 per 100,000. In the US, the number for 2017 was 1,591, giving an almost identical rate of 0.49.

You lose over a hundred a day to gun crime which never even make the news, yet a killing spree which is modest by US standards is headline news over here.
