Britain has found an answer to their soaring knife crime! File down the pointy ends! Because, as the article goes on to say, regular citizens don't use the pointy ends of knives anyways. Only professional licensed butchers and fishmongers need pointy knives.

Just when you think the people in charge in the UK could not be any more stupid . . . .

Judge didn’t go far enough.
The only way to stop knife crime is to surgically remove everyone’s hands.

This isn’t satire?
Cause you could not write a better piece of satire IMO, but with the way this world is going..........

"Every kitchen contains lethal knives which are potential murder weapons."So does every tool box, sewing room, wood-working shop, garden shed, modelling kit, museum, basement and attic.

I’ve read that in old’n days before utensils were common, people used to use the knives they carried for defense during meals. Arguments would break out and people would get stabbed/killed at the supper table. To remedy this someone decided to provide knives with rounded tips when serving meals which made it much harder to stab someone. It apprently worked so well that it became common.

This could be decent satire.Britain today, in almost every respect, reads like a not-funny version of The Onion.

Why don't more people realize that the problem is not pointed knives - or any other target of the left - but pointy-headed PC judges, politicians and journalists?

One would think that it would be easy to connect the dots with the soaring knife deaths to the importation of thousands of Jihadi.
Knife attacks are a favorite tool of the Palestinian visitors to Israel.

A good example as to why our forefathers got the hell out of England and sought a new, safe, and free land. They still tried to reel us back in, and we had to whoop their asses.
And they are supposed to be the “brilliant, upper-class” ones.

“A few of the blades carried by youths are so called Rambo knives or samurai swords.”
Assault knife control is needed to stop the killing.
