If this keeps up, I'm waiting on the ban on sticks and stones.

Within five years, this headline on the Beeb: "Crackdown targets club culture," talking about the rapidly increasing incidence of people using clubs, cudgels, table legs, hammers, and other large blunt objects to commit crimes (or more likely, to defend themselves).
Remember, when morningstars are outlawed, only outlaws will have morningstars!

When knives are outlawed, only outlaws will have knives.
What next, criminalizing big sticks of wood?

Note to First Minister Jack McConnell:
Mandate that all knives be made out of Nerf. Problem solved.

Not to mention, (by extension) the common pocket knives, nail files, steak knives...
Slippery slope.
Where does it end?

Does this mean those under 18 must have parental permission to eat at a resturant? I guess there is going to be a booming business in finger food. Fish and chips anyone?

The British will be back to getting their food by throwing rocks and eating with their fingers soon, that is, unless the criminals steal all their rocks and fingers.

Do these idiots know about grinders and pieces of steel?
To: CaptRon
I can show them how to kill with one finger. I guess they will start cutting off everyone's fingers.
