    Not as silly as arresting people for possessing a butter knife. What will they go after next, cheese spreaders? Flattened spoons?

     

    It just depends how much of a cock you are being with them, I guess?

     

    They've watched me wandering around with a woodaxe and not felt the need to say anything.....I guess all the chopped wood might have been a factor.

     

    So do me a favour and give it a rest, I'm happy to enter into discussions with you about life in the UK, but not if it's approached thorough the filter of tabloid headlines.

    All jokes aside, how has violent crime trended in the past ten to fifteen years in the UK?

     

    A quick look gives us this from the beeb:

    So, basically we're on a slight upward trend, reaching levels comparable with the not-even slightly violent as I recall, mid 2000s.  :mellow:

     

    The steep uptick of the 'Total Violence' curve I suspect is the result of the sort of drivel quoted in the first half of that Twitter(?) post being counted as violence.  :rolleyes:

    I believe the statement that he was trying to make is that some dickhead gets hold of an illegal knife, therefore you need stronger knife control laws. The same logic that drive NY and CA to keep introducing gun control measures, despite the fact that the already have the strictest in the country, and a fair amount of gun crime to go with it. People don't seem to realize that stronger XYZ control laws =/= less crime with XYZ.

     

    That's a silly comparison and you know it, so I ain't going there.  ;)

    We have one report of someone using one to threaten innocent people. This isn't the only case.

     

    The shock, the terror.....You should get a job for the Daily Mail mate!  :lol:

    It's been fascinating to watch.

     

    Horrifying would have been my choice of word, just because I live in the UK doesn't mean I like the rules and I sure as shit don't get any say in writing them!  :P

    Yes. Thank god glances at smudged notes written on hand in marker there was no one there with a gun to shoot the zombie knife attacker

     

    He was taken care of without the need to resort to firearms.....Now I know that's anathema to an American, but in the UK we prefer things that way.

    So what is the solution, @Sgt.Squarehead? Do they need to close the zombie knife loophole?

     

    I have to confess, I haven't got a clue what you are on about?   A dickhead gets hold of a knife, QED: we should legalise all guns?  Is that it?  How the fuck would that make sense?

     

     

     

  6. This one seems to have slipped below the radar:

    LSD & Warships.....What could possibly go wrong?  :P

    Ten other sailors from the carrier’s reactor department were administratively disciplined late last year for their alleged ties to the drug ring, 7th Fleet officials said at the time.

    For reference, I carried this exact knife (buck 110) all through high school. That's right, in PUBLIC SCHOOL.

     

    I had one similar, they were all the rage, probably still got it somewhere.

    I'm at a loss as to how someone accidentally cuts an old woman's head off.

     

    No disrespect intended, but did you actually read the article, or just toss it out there because it looks kind of spectacular?

     

    He was suffering from schizophrenic delusions (ie: he wasn't seeing an old lady, rather something from the depths of his subconscious).....Presumably the problem isn't going to go away unless he's permanently medicated to fuck, hence Broadmoor:

    Yo @Sgt.Squarehead you know anything about this case?

     

    The article & video cover it pretty thoroughly, he'd well & truly lost the plot and chopped a poor old lady's head off.....Consequently while he's not guilty of murder by reason of insanity, he'll be indefinitely detained under the Mental Health Act. 

     

    He won't be going anywhere in a long time and where he's going he'll fit right in.
