when I read that, I said to myself, "My GOD, what bizzaro world did I wake up in this morning?!"
Next it will be baseball bats, cricket bats, tire irons, butcher knives, then the Australians will pass a law saying everyone has to stay in their homes because the world is just too scary.
Give me a break!

I've seen that axe before, but I can't quite place it. I like the spike on the backside.

The British can't be too far behind.
Then, Feinstein will introduce the same bill in the Senate.

"everyone is gonna have to buy their food pre-cut by licensed butchers/chefs."
If you did that, you'd have to give the whole population pairs of little wooden sticks to eat with.

I thought most swords you can buy are dulled and not an effective weapon.

Pretty soon, it will be anything carried by hand. In England, or at least parts of it, it's anything which could be used as a weapon. I guess that means they have to write with crayons, since either a sharpened pencil, or a ball point pen, makes a dandy weapon.

Also all people will have to use dummy scisors to cut, and I have no clue what cooks will have to use in replacement for knives.

A look at your tagline got me to thinking of the robes writing their decisions with crayons. Seems appropriate considering some of their recent decisions.

Wonder at what point does a sword becomes a knife?
And if I carry a pocket "sword", uh I mean pocket knife, am I carrying a concealed weapon?

Soon to be taught in the Australian Police Academies...
"...Tonight I shall be carrying on from where we got to last week when I was showing you how to defend yourselves against anyone who attacks you armed with a piece of fresh fruit..."
That is, after they have outlawed pointed sticks.
