Dress up as a giant penguin and stab someone with a sharpened, frozen, haddock.
Let's see them get around that one.

I'm waiting for the ban on pen and pencils. Don't even get me started on how horrendous a paper cut can beTories desperate for votes. Stupid, draconian, laws look good to their base on the Daily Mail front page/Website.
"Ban gardening tools!" that will stop people stabbing each other.
"Ban kitchen knives!"
"Ban knitting needles!"
So every functional knife?Saw yesterday that they are updating the ‘zombie knife’ law like this:
“The new law will mean that blades without images or words will also be recognised as zombie knives if they have other key features, such as a cutting or serrated edge.“
Spot the problem…
No. Knifes that are ‘styled’ as zombie knifes but do not have the wording on them such a ‘zombie killer’ or ‘apocalypse defence’. They are quite unique in their look and most are not at all functional as we would think of them.So every functional knife?
It is easier, cheaper and higher profile to ban the shape and mechanisms of the tools than to do anything about those who misuse them. Effectiveness is irrelevant when you are trawling for votes or under the cosh to do “Something”.Quoting Matt from the video (don´t remember the exact words): "For 60 years UK have been banning all sorts of knives and still knife crimes have gone up in numbers, could it be that banning doesn´t work since kitchen knives are the mostly used in knife crimes".

There are no votes in sociological and educational remedies.
Anyone who will break the law by stabbing or wounding another will hardly regard a law about possessing the implement.
Sorry, it’s all been said before but it makes me angry. They could ban every edged implement on Earth and I could make a dagger in about ten minutes. A knife might take thirty.
Stupid!
Don´t remember where I read (might have been a comment in Matts video) that one of the preferred weapons for criminals are sharpened bicycle spokes.They could ban every edged implement on Earth and I could make a dagger in about ten minutes. A knife might take thirty.
Stupid!
