More wisdom from the land of hooliganism.
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!

aha but the market for pointy sticks will increase dramatically.
What next, criminalizing big sticks of wood?
Cricket bats are next; followed by rolling pins, cast iron pans, hammers, scissors, hedge trimmers,etc.
ban criminals
This is what happens when gun control finally goes far enough.
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.
ban politicians with sub 70 IQ's. (80%?)
Do these idiots know about grinders and pieces of steel?
hahahahahhah... outlaw steak knives and make them use plastic sporks. What a land of pu$$ies
When I was in elementary school there was a time when team "kill the guy with the ball" became popular. The teams were the fifth grade against the sixth grade, so everyone knew what team they were on.
The teachers told us not to play, because they thought someone would get seriously hurt -- a legitimate concern, but we enjoyed the game immensly. Their solution was to take away the balls, except under teacher supervision.
Well, we began playing the game with a football instead of a round ball. So, they took away all the footballs, too.
After that, we used someone's hat. They couldn't take all those away.
Eventually the fad sort of died out, but not because the teachers removed the sports equipment.
I guess this proves that golf will drive you crazy.
Waaaiiiiit a second. The Scottish banning pointy things?!? That's just not right!
I know why they're doing it. The smoking ban has gotten the Scottish so riled up, the government is scared that they're going to march on Parliament with pitchforks and hoes...so they ban and register all sharp objects in self-preservation.
Unbelievable. Where is modern Scotland's William Wallace?

A logical result from banning firearms and denying law-abiding citizens the right to self-defense. Somewhere, the framers of the Magna Carta are cussing and kicking the dog.
