Okay ... the Brits have now officially jumped off the edge of the cliff into the bottomless pit of insanity. You stupid f**king wankers ... you don't have a knife problem ... YOU HAVE A MOOSLIM DEATH CULT PROBLEM, YOU STUPID F**KING MORONS!!! Grow a pair of balls between your legs, call a spade a spade, and remove the uncivilized mooslims in your midst before the entire British Empire crumbles into dust.
This editor really respects Idris Elba as an actor. He was fantastic in "Luther" and would make a fine James Bond. James Bond, though, carries and gun and is licensed to kill. Though the United Kingdom likes to rub America's gun crime statistics in our faces, Britain has a terrible scourge of knife crime. Police have raided charity shops, confiscating knives (and rusty spoons) and set up "knife amnesty bins" around London so people can rid themselves of sharp objects.
In 2018, London Mayor Sadiq Khan imposed a knife ban in the capital:
Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan (@MayorofLondon) ~ No excuses: there is never a reason to carry a knife. Anyone who does will be caught, and they will feel the full force of the law.

In 2019, Conservative Member of Parliament Scott Mann suggested that a GPS tracking device be fitted in every knife handle. "It’s time we had a national database like we do with guns," he said.
Just this year, Prime Minister Kier Starmer promised a crackdown on knives. The BBC reported that England and Wales would be required to report any bulk or suspicious knife purchases to police, the jail term for selling weapons to under-18s would increase from six months to two years, and a new policing unit backed with £1m of funding to monitor for weapons being sold illegally on social media would also be created.
But back to Elba. He was asked by BBC Radio 4 about knife crime, and while he's for a sword registry so that you can get a license for your grandpa's sword from World War II, he wonders if kitchen knives really needed a pointy end.
Defiant L’s (@DefiantLs) ~ Idris Elba on how to stop knife attacks in the UK.
Not gonna lie I thought this was parody at first cause what? 😆

He should know that Starmer promised that ninja swords would be banned by this summer.
Joe Moutard (@IamtheJoeMo) ~ I'll keep my beautiful kitchen knives, along with any other knives I want, and I'll carry a gun in case someone tries to stab me.
OJ (@ojenabosi) ~ Idris is spot on here. Removing all pointy objects from society would be a simpler and more effective way to reduce crime. Surely, criminals would never dream of picking up a heavy, blunt object to cause harm instead.
Andrea E (@AAC0519) ~ Next up: Surgeons can learn how to operate with butter knives.
Name cannot be blank (@GoBlue369) ~ Gotta trade out regular scissors for safety scissors too! Great ideas! 💡😁
Claudia Walker (@RagsDaisyRemy) ~ Yes, let's keep banning things instead of facing what is really the cause.
Brandon (@Bishop0051) ~ I hate getting to know my favorite actors.
Bacon Overlord (@OGBaconOverlord) ~ UK makes fun of the USA's shootings, but they have just as many stabbings a year as we have shootings. 50K. Kinda makes you think it's not really about the guns.
Vic (@blackirishblack) ~ This is why Americans won’t budge on guns. Next thing you know, they want your cutlery because “people don’t kill people, forks kill people.”
Old Bearded Man (@1OldBeardedMan) ~ A society that needs to have this type of discussion about kitchen knives is finished since the actual problem will never be addressed.
