I am thinking they would not appreciate my collection of "steak knives" across the pond there...

A&E doctors are calling for a ban on long pointed kitchen knives to reduce deaths from stabbing. A team from West Middlesex University Hospital said violent crime is on the increase - and kitchen knives are used in as many as half of all stabbings.
They argued many assaults are committed impulsively, prompted by alcohol and drugs, and a kitchen knife often makes an all too available weapon.
The research is published in the British Medical Journal.
The researchers said there was no reason for long pointed knives to be publicly available at all.
They consulted 10 top chefs from around the UK, and found such knives have little practical value in the kitchen.

I would think twice before eating steak in UK.
I am thinking they would not appreciate my collection of "steak knives" across the pond there...
Or perhaps, citing biting incidents per capita, will they demand children's canine teeth be pulled?/s
So much for shovel ready...
This isn’t a spoof?????
Nope not satire, Leftist agenda
In the wrong hands that spork could be classified as a weapon of mass destruction...
My thoughts, too; kept waiting for the joke to be revealed. But no, serious as can be. Typical liberal/socialist approach: punish everybody.
Not much difference here or there between being a subject and a citizen these days.
Don’t forget about passionfruit, oranges, apples, grapefruit (whole and segmented), pomegranates, greengages, grapes, lemons, plums, mangoes in syrup, and cherries (red and black). Oh yes, and bananas.
But what if he comes at you with a pointed stick?
Exactly the radical leftwingers and their tyrannical progressivism it is a disease. You would think that the Republicans would get a clue and start instructing the people just how far leftwing wackooo these nuts want to change the country... This is Obama’s agenda and they are trying to make it mainstream by raising the bar on the right ever notice how even moderate republicans are now being called right wing radicals because they won’t cowtow to Obama’s socialist fiscal policy. You have to fight fire with fire... Every Republican at every event on every media outlet needs to start out by calling the left a radical ideological movement that wants to repeal the constitution. DEFINE THEM and we win.
They just don't work as well with that annoying guard on, do they.
Are you sure John Simmons isn’t behind this?
The guard was on. Doesn’t do much good when the tool flies out of your control.
Ungland... Right!!! Well then... henceforth, all things sharp will be banned, and all things pointy shall also be banned, and anything that is sharp AND pointy is right out!!!
Also, things that are blunt are banned, and things that are heavy are banned, and things that are blunt AND heavy are RIGHT OUT AS WELL!!!
Well, lets see... that about cover it then???
They didn’t consider the slashy part I think. They were more concerned about that stabby thing ...
“They consulted 10 top chefs from around the UK, and found such knives have little practical value in the kitchen.”
They don’t need them in the OR in the UK either. Most surgery is too expensive for the NHS budget nowadays.
