Knives now... forks next!
Hizzonner must not get out very often. And maybe his mommy cuts the crusts off his bread while she is still in the kitchen...
I have carried a knife every day of my life since I was about 12... and can't think of a day when I haven't used it for some mundane tasks, and a few times that it was necessary for dire tasks.
Local butcher shops are offering specials on whole sides of beef...
a) that the police only have powers to arrest somebody for carrying a knife if they have reasonable grounds for suspecting intent to use it as a weapon, or it's one of the categories of knife which are banned. Thus the ordinary citizen carrying a knife for trade, sport craft or domestic use etc can't be arrested.
b) that the Mayor has no power to issue operational instructions to the police, which can only come from the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, who reports to the Home Secretary, not the Mayor
c) that the Mayor of London has no power to change or introduce law.
The powers of the Mayor of London are very much less than those of the Mayor of a large U.S. city.
A Ginsu Knife is the AR-15 of knives.
“Nobody needs a knife capable of cutting through a tennis shoe.”
Ever seen a Marine repurpose a Coke can? Do they have aluminum cans in Londonistan?
geez, must suck to be a Brut these days . ..
“...in other news, every restaurant in London has been shut down...”
“Good point. He did say that recently. “
Well, he said it a year a half ago but he DID say it.
What if its a Muslim guy with a knife who’s buying 10-year-old female slaves?
Poorly written headline, probably mean out in the street with a knife.
Tell a few jokes on Free Republic, and THIS is what happens! Reality finds a way to imitate humor. Is anyone safe at their supper tables in London?
Licensed, registered meat cleavers and paring knives.
Yes. They have to change the knife-obsessed culture that dominates from school-age on up. One day the lads are engaged in a “harmless” game of mumbly-peg, and the next they go on a stabbing and slashing rampage in between periods. Then there are garrots, which can be made from the commonest objects. Ban all shoe-laces and from now on even high-school seniors and hard hats working up on the I beams will have to fasten their footwear with Velcro strips. And this includes the Royal Family!
Ban all Cutco assault cutlery products. They never need sharpening, and can cut a coin to shreds.
“Deport anyone who won’t eat bacon.”
Well, that will take care of the Jewish problem.
(How about an extended-length - and sharpened! - recoil spring guide rod? ;^)
Knitting Needles, metal ones. I will never forget after 9.11 how they banned nail clippers but they allowed 9” metal knitting needles on a plane.
Have they banned gardening tools yet?
My hunch is that the Faithful in London don’t believe this rule applies to them.
