Why not just cut to the chase and declare that all of Britain must be constructed and furnished by Playskool and Little Tikes, with generous amounts of foam padding on everything.
Here ya go, Britain! Nothing here with which to harm anyone!

Doctors seek kitchen knife ban EDWARD BLACK
Key points • Doctors claim long kitchen knives serve no purpose except as weapons • 55 out of 108 homicide victims in Scotland were stabbed last year • Police superintendents say a ban would be difficult to enforce

I am pretty sure that the pee pee pants behind this don't eat meat at least in the traditional sense

CHEFS SEEK HOSPITAL KNIFE BAN
Wonder how he'll carve a turkey or slice a ham?
You need LONG SHARP KNIVES for THAT.
I guess these medics have never had to chop vegetables for a big meal.
Personally, I would be lost in the kitchen without a good, heavy, pointed chef's knife.

They can have my Ginsu knives when they pry them from my cold dead fingers!
But wait! There's more!
This is actually not new. Sometime between 6 months and a year ago the movement to ban kitchen knives started.
A few years ago in Massachusetts a man was killed by a crossbow arrow in a road rage incident and sure as the sun comes up in the morning some liberal tried to ban crossbows.
This also gives a whole new threat to "put a fork in it."
This is, amazingly, a completely true story. The once proud Scottish people have been reduced to socialist moron sheep.
Stick and stones can break.... I wonder how they'll ban rocks? Maybe we'll all move to outer space. No that won't do, the rock are even bigger. The desert?
Why not just make "alcohol or misuse of other drugs" illegal?
I mean, the knight himself carried a 5+ foot Claymore.
You're right. Take away every instrument capable of killing and a killer would use his hands to strangle. If this keeps up the whole world is going to end up in a strait
jacket.
These idiots have never cooked anything more complicated than a microwave dinner. Probably don't know what a whole onion looks like.
This proves liberalism is a mental disease.
Morons? Correct.
They're sniffing glue over there, aren't they?
