Stop the madness !

[BipolarBob]

The old knife show loophole madness.

[EnderWiggin1970]

They better require it for hammers and screwdrivers too. /s And don’t even get me started about any sort of motor vehicle with more mass than a scooter. Not sure how this will prevent any attacks, but at least this will provide the authorities with video on file of the perpetrators.

[Bob434]

but criminals don’t need to obey no steenking laws though right UK?

What about the sharp stick loophole? What will the authorities do to prevent people from picking up sharp sticks or even....gasp!...sharpening a stick?

[The Louiswu]

Soon forging and blacksmithing will be outlaw activities.

Under plans being considered by the Home Office, buyers would need to submit an ID document to online retailers and record a live video or selfie to prove their age.

Is this a joke?!?!

[roving]

There are plenty of knives in your silverware drawer.

[rlmorel]

Gee. How about if I buy a steak knife?

Chipping away at freedom because a certain demographic has exhibited a propensity for violence

[marktwain]

Knives are easy to make. I guess they ban sticks next.

Will they ban bananas?

[Leaning Right]

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

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

[PAR35]

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”!

[BenLurkin]

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 ...

[LegendHasIt]

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