Walking downtown with a pocket knife or some other type of knife . . . is not necessarily a criminal offence
YET!

Next they'll ban hands. Those can be used as fists, you know.
And just think! All the idiot gun-grabbers want to reduce America to this kind of insanity!

To Londoners being wrapped in cotton and locked in their closets to prevent them from arguing?

Now now, they'll only ban the "assault knives", those knives capable of cutting more than one person, or penetrating flesh more than 1/8 inch deep. After all, no one uses knives to hunt with, so what are sportsmen so upset about?
Therefore, starting today, all knives can be turned in at the local constable's office in exchange for a nice, lovely plastic spork, still in its original wrapper.

I think they'll ban violent television and movies before they resort to banning hands. Teletubbies and Care Bears, 24x7.

Tongue's the fastest weapon known to mankind. Must be removed at all cost to keep anyone from being hurt.

"Latest police statistics show weapons offences, which aren't broken down by type, are on the rise, up 13 per cent last year over 2003."
Gotta wonder if they're not broken down by type because they would show how ineffective their gun bans are.
"About midnight Sunday, a Toronto man, 27, was arrested in Club Phoenix after a Waterloo man, 23, received a shoulder cut when he was stabbed with a broken bottle."
Hmmm...didn't know folks in England were carrying broken bottles in their pockets.

Well the answer is clear: cutlery must be banned.
But fear not, law-abiding citizens. The state will cut your meat FOR you.

One of the crime fighting techniques of the police in london was to put up a flyer at the site of a crime. The flyer describe the crime, victim, and assailant.
But crime so exploded in London that the city was soon wallpapered with these flyers and the police stopped posting them.

No kidding. In feudal Japan, each villiage had only one knife - chained to a large rock in the village center. Notice that Oriental food never needs a knife for eating.
Fast forward: With modern packaging, you could easily buy everything pre-cut and not need any knives, for cooking or consumption.

Yep!

"If you grow up bombarded by violence, it will have an impact," he said, referring to TV, movies and video games."
I'm not going to say that an inundation of violent scenes isn't having some sort of impact; however Television et al is the current scapegoat. It doesn't matter to some that violence pre-dates Television. A case could easily be made that violence was more rampant as well.
I wonder if the level of exposure we are currently experiencing might not be having the opposite effect as people are more aware of the results of violent behavior, and have outlets for their aggression.

They better ban grinders and all metal because with one and the other a fairly good knife can be made in about a hr.
A file and metal just takes a bit longer.
But then who needs metal some tape and glass will work just fine. Oh I forget you can make knifes out of the right kind of rock.
Damm I guess disarmament only hurts the honest people.
