I’ve said it before - earlier this month I was at Heathrow Airport in a very nice restaurant. The business end of the knife I got was rounded, almost like a flat spoon in size and shape. It failed at its main job - cutting food. (I understand about knives and airports.) How about those dangerous pointy forks?

I guess they haven't heard of sticks.

Maybe they will outlaw trees and any wood of large enough diameter to be sharpened to a usable unbending point. Then England will only be left with...

When sharp knives are outlawed, only outlaws will have sharp knives.

Every kitchen contains lethal knives which are potential murder weapons.

And every patch of dirt has lethal rocks which are potential murder weapons.

The judge needs to order the softening of all rocks - to reduce the threat to their soft english heads

I predict a huge surge in sale of files to resharpen those knives.

Sure. Violent criminals will be filing the points of their knives SHARPER, so as to slice up the innocent fools who have blunted their knives in silly obedience to a stupid law.

Remember the muzzy who chopped Lee Rigby’s head on a city street in broad daylight?

A woman allowed her toddler to fall out of the shopping cart at Home Depot. The woman had been repeatedly warned by HD staff that the child should sit and be strapped in. The child hit head first on the concrete floor and later died. The mother sued HD saying that "The concrete floor was too hard."

Steamer clam shucking knife.

As Crocodile Dundee would say, "That's not a knife!"

Their insanity knows no bounds and just keeps getting worse and worse.
IF the People there don’t rise up, it will be their death knell as the muzzies will kill them all once the time is right.

PERFECT nanny-state regulation! It’s difficult specify and measure sharpness and hardness of blades or sticks — so leave it to the judges’ fiat.

A judge has proposed a nationwide programme to file down the points of kitchen knives as a solution to the country’s soaring knife crime epidemic.

Judge has already apparently filed down his own mind to a blunt edge.

Please don’t let that judge watch Midsomer Murders! In that fictitious English county, EVERYTHING has been used as a murder weapon!

“Every kitchen contains lethal knives which are potential murder weapons.”

Every automobile or truck is a potential murder weapon.
Every baseball or cricket bat is a potential murder weapon.
Every battery powered drill is a potential murder weapon.
Every hammer is a potential murder weapon.
