All of the 129 edged weapons taken were antiques and perfectly legal to own. Thousands of British pounds worth of antiques. The police cited a law that did not apply.

Did they take the butter knives too? Next they will be seizing the bricks a house is made from because bricks are heavy if you throw them at a bobbie. A constable.

“...face up to 4 years in prison, an unlimited fine or both...”

4 years in prison for having a knife. Let that sink in. And they can place an UNLIMITED fine! $Million and million for possessing a knife. These people are truly insane. A small women has no means of protecting herself, none. Do the Brits allow a slingshot? How about Nerf guns? /spit

The average Texas Grandma probably has a more impressive arsenal than that.

Cannot see the UK as a relevant and meaningful contributor to defending western civilization. The character, moral conviction, courage, and capacity is not there. If NATO is anything more than a social club, they should be preparing for the UK to be an unreliable partner.

Next up in the UK: take on the national security threat of homeowners and their toolboxes. Outlaw and confiscate flat head screwdrivers, chisels, saws of any kind, crowbars, hammers, pickaxes, shovels, drill bits, clamps, and all power tools. It’s for your safety!

In related news everyone in the UK will now be required to eat with plastic spoons.

You can’t have knives because of all the Muslim knifing. Of course, Muslims will be exempt from the anti-knife laws because Islamophobia. /s

Brits can feel safer. Put the old man in a dungeon. Operation Scimitar.

[SharpenedEdge]

I’m starting to feel a severe dislike for these people.

The UK is a pathetic shell of a once great nation. Let their mistakes never happen here, and let the policies that have been enacted be ripped out root and branch. MAGA!

[The Great RJ]

Wasn’t one bloke in the UK arrested for a picture of him. posted online holding a gun while on vacation in the US?

UK is now all tyrannical all the time. How and why are we calling this UK government our allies?

I am not knocking any of the abused by their government UK citizens.
