So, about six years ago, I called for a ban on knives. It’s a ridiculous position to take, but it’s OK because I was trolling Chef Mojo.
Fast forward to present day.
Doctors’ kitchen knives ban call
“We suggest that banning the sale of long pointed knives is a sensible and practical measure that would have this effect [of reducing knife crime].”
Well, I guess that makes sense. Get rid of knives and you get rid of knife crime. Just like getting rid of guns reduced gun crime and increased … knife crime.
I suggest Brits next get rid of sticks longer than six inches and stones heavier than one ounce. They don’t need to worry about words hurting, as Brits haven’t had freedom of speech since forever.
And while you’re clicking links, check out the top photo here. What a testosterone-challenged bunch of gormless knobs. (That would be the slang term knob, not the slang term nob.)
Any sensible person knows you can’t ban all knives. But those vicious assault knives definitely need to be banned. No reasonable person needs to be able to cut up vegetables that fast.
Living proof of my contention that the Brits left the best part of the DNA on the battlefields of Europe over the past 100 years.

That and they left the king/commie shithole and came here.
As evidence:
british blades – the law
police arrest disabled man for having a pocketknife in glovebox
It’s not just the Brits — check out the knife laws in your state:
US Knife Laws
The two I checked (NE & IA), knives with blades over 3-1/2″ or 5″ are illegal to carry in public (with some exceptions), and concealed carry of any knife is generally illegal.
I had no idea state laws were so restrictive. NC seems OK, no problem unless you want to carry into a courthouse or funeral procession, among others. Doesn’t allow you to carry your Bowie knife concealed…
Looks like some bad brit DNA has slipped through here.
SteveF, I assume you know that BBC story’s from 2005.
!(*@#)(*# Nope, didn’t notice. The Downtrend page (the one with the picture of the dickless wonders) was from today, and I didn’t notice the source article was old. Thanks.
Np, happens to us all from time to time.
