"If you carry a knife out of self-defence, you run the risk of having it turned on you. Carrying a knife is illegal and will not be tolerated. It could land you four years in prison"

Oh, yeah, same old useless arguments, same old BS. If you DON'T carry a knife or some other weapon then the criminals can beat you in the head with a brick or a rock, or simply use their knife or gun on you. What pukes socialists, progressives, communists are(all the same to me)!

Next will be carpenters having to turn in their sharp tools for safe keeping overnight at their local police precint .... or have a special permit to carry them to and from work ...

I guess this is what to expect from a country that caves in to Islamofacists who demanded they not fly their flag because some of the symbols on it offends their sensibilities ... several major companies hauled the English flag down .....

"That is 17,715 fewer weapons that can be used in a crime against ordinary, law-abiding citizens.

Did they give financial incentives to do this? I can see this large of a number if they were getting paid for it, every kid in town would be raiding mom's cutlery drawer for a few pounds for gas.

Actually, with the number of Mooselimbs in the U. K., this is probably a good idea.

From what I understand, this is a complete scam:

"Knives" are not banned in England, only certain knives.
IIRC, it's knives over 3" in length, very similar to what many US state laws restrict.

It sounds like the Brits are trying to con everybody into giving up their pocket knife or Swiss Army knife.

And this was the country that produced Churchill and Thatcher, legendary sailors and soldiers, Lord Nelson, all the rest. My God, this is not only silly, but just sad.

I knew Europe was on a path to self-destruction, but to watch England go down that path is just tragic.

As well as knives, Devon and Cornwall police also received an 8lb anti-tank rocket launcher, known as a "tankbuster", which has a range of up to 350 metres

Don't bring a knife to a anti-tank rocket launcher fight.
