Yep! All I need is a crayon, paper and a pair of those blunt scissors. Maybe a small bottle of Elmer's.

"The Home Office is looking for ways to reduce knife crime. We suggest that banning the sale of long pointed knives is a sensible and practical measure that would have this effect. "

What huge intellects these British doctors have. Glad I am not over there in need of an emergency operation.

Now about cutting a steak.. what are they going to use? Sharp intellect? Razor edge sarcasm? Cutting wit?

Looks like they are going to go hungry

Just proves that 18-20 years of school, followed by completion of an internship nd residency does not teach an uneducated idiot how to think; it only turns him into an educated idiot.

And that is the worst kind.

Some of the worst proposals for "public safety" and "public health" come from activist ER doctors turned politician.

London Bobby: Sergeant, Cpl. Blimey, calling. We have a stabbing victim on the street.

Desk Sergeant: I thought pointy knives were banned.

LB: Well, yes, but he wasn't stabbed with knife. He has a rather large swordfish sticking out of him.

DS: Swordfish? Is it fresh?

LB: Let me check, sergeant...yes, there's a bit of twitching.

DS: The swordfish or the victim?

LB: Mostly the swordfish, sergeant.

DS: Oh, um....is there a fish and chips shop nearby?

LB: Let me check, sergeant....yes, right across the way.

DS: Well, see if it's missing a swordfish. If not, grab a few bags of chips.

LB: Right, sergeant. What about the victim?

DS: Pull the swordfish out. Must be bloody uncomfortable. And grab a liter of fish sauce when you pick up the chips.

LB: Yes, sergeant....Oh, I see another stabbing victim back in doorway. I believe....yes, he has a tusk in him.

DS: Is the elephant still attached?

LB: No, sergeant. It appears to be a walrus.

DS: Oh...let Cpl. Nanook take care of that one. Well, bring the weapon in for analysis. And buy a couple of bags of charcoal.

The Brits have lost their minds and resemble a totalitarian police state. It is one example we do not want to follow. The Brits make the French look good.

The only way to get the results the weapon confiscators seek, is to lock everyone in the UK into rubber rooms and throw the key away.

Madre de Dios! Don't give them any ideas

Knitting needles.

Or those thin hardwood dowels that some women put in their hair, maple works well. They can be sharpened on a rough brick or piece of concrete.

I wish that they would just completely childproof the country so we can see how pathetic a society that would make.

You don't "need" a steak, hamburger will do fine. But you'll have to eat it with a spoon, forks are too dangerous!

Someone could carve out your adams apple with a spoon. Better make it hands with close cut fingernails.

Literally, there is no limit, no barrier anywhere, around human idiocy.
