Here’s what I want to know...

How did the UK’s Deep State get the perp to plead guilty when a good defense lawyer could have tried an insanity defense.

That pic right there shows the demon within....the eyes...evil.
Around these parts, that is what’s called a “target-rich environment”.

[Leaning Right]

If you think that’s a crazy idea, get this. The Church of England wants to ban pointy knives.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

That horrible subhuman murderous thing belongs in a cage at the gorilla house in the zoo.

[SpaceBar]

The British have perfected the use of mismanagement as a form of societal control.

> How about if I buy a steak knife? <

Just asking that question will get you put on a UK terrorist watch list. So if you were planning on hanging out with the Royal Family later this year, make other plans.

Maybe instead of banning knives they should legalize guns (for non-Muslims).

[Drago]

So over age 18 stabbing is OK? (”Stabbing Age Check”)

UK is so screwed...as mentioned previously “Screwdriver age check”!

Dear people living in the UK. THIS is YOUR future:

[RetiredTexasVet]

Make them use plastic sporks. No metal silverware for the Brits or Irish or any European.

[bunkerhill7]

UK to raid all beauty salons and confiscate all pointy nail files including fingernail clippers ...

Hehehehehe...

“But...but...I was only going to give them a set of steak knives as a castle-warming present!”

Thanks for the word Anarcho-tyranny. I have always just said “Whenever some SOB abuses something, government takes it out on me.”

[E. Pluribus Unum]

AKA “Punish the innocent, reward the guilty.”

[LegendHasIt]

How about taking a video of the buyer eating bacon to prove he (or she) isn’t a Muslim?

[Vendome]

Outlaw envelopes to ensure no one suffers a paper cut, ever again...

[Seruzawa]

All you need is a saw blade and a grinding wheel and you can make knives to your hearts content.

[ArcadeQuarters]

It used to be sarcasm. It’s becoming reality.
