An installation of the ‘Knife Angel’ will remain at Rochester Cathedral until the end of September. So far, more than 5,000 visitors to the monument have signed a book, pledging not to carry knives.

Of course, the criminals will obey any knife ban. Sure they will.

Inevitably people would make spears, sharpen sticks, bows and arrows...

So, the only solution? Kill the people that you don’t like to keep the people you do like SAFE.

“’Historically we needed a point on the end of our knife to pick up food because forks weren’t invented. Now we only need the point to open packets when we can’t be bothered to find the scissors,’ the letter reads.”

Never actually prepared food in a kitchen, I guess. They are either so rich they have servants, so rich they only eat in restaurants, or so lazy they only eat fast food take-outs (take-aways in the UK I guess.)

Cowardly Brits.

Research demonstrates kitchen knives are used in a large percentage of homicides due to their availability and lethal nature.

I am astonished at how many things are chosen for homicide due to their lethal nature.

Ice picks are nasty. If you get stabbed by one,you’ve got minutes at most to get to a hospital or you bleed to death on the inside.

No big rocks. Or small rocks thrown at velocities higher than the forward airspeed of an African Swallow.

And no more lifting weight. Big muscles are dangerous.

Maybe ERPO knife laws would help, or a registry of knife owners.

Or let people keep their pointed knives if they get a license and take a safety course. Annually.

Nobody needs a pointy knife. In a restaurant where they serve fresh carved roast, the server uses a rounded end knife to slice the roast, proving that pointy knives are not needed.

.. bathtubs...?

People have murdered others by drowning them in bathtubs.

But we must let the crazy criminals roam free.
