It appears bats are a hot ticket item in the UK...

LINK

Sales are up 6541%

From the comment section

quote:
Cuts looters off at the knees
This bat is perfectly weighted and will suit any UK shop-owner looking to protect their property.

Thanks to the ergonomic handle, one easy swing should be enough to shatter patellas, skulls or any other bone on your targeted looter. Personally, I would recommend also investing in some fingerless gloves for extra grip.

quote:
call upon amazon.co.uk to ban this item temporarily as it is obviously currently abused as a cheap, quick weapon to be used in the london riots. ban it now!

I believe the UK uses a comma instead of a decimal point, so 13,000% is 13%.

Cricket bats are better and at the local sports store.

Gun control —everyone knows the UK has that. Would you believe they also have KNIFE CONTROL..?

I’m serious! That sounds made-up, right..? It’s true.

Which is why riots like that will never happen here, especially in red states. Won’t need to be ordering any baseball bats off of Amazon.

Maybe.
But look at the jump in their sales rank, and you might changer your mind. For example, one bat went from Sales 7751 to sales rank 56.

Hell of a jump for 13%.
