They have had it for a while, and now plan to ban pointed knives in UK kitchens.

‘and now plan to ban pointed knives in UK kitchens.’

No, they dont. That story was a call from a tiny group of stupid doctors in 2005!. Their call was ignored by the public and by the then Labour govt. Yet this myth persists.

For some (imo shameful) reason, an internet ‘expert’ called Daniel J Mitchell decided to revive the story in December in an article of his, he deliberately made it sound as if it had already happened. IMO as a Brit, it was a shameful lie.

That is what we need in America, knife control! No knife should have a point that will penetrate anything harder than jelly with less than forty pounds of pressure applied. No knife should have an edge capable of cutting butter at less than 150 degrees Fahrenheit. People don’t need assault knives capable of penetrating cotton t-shirts.

And knives capable of slicing through cold marshmallows should be banned, confiscated and destroyed.
