As an ex butcher and ex part time chef this pisses me off to no end.

You take away knives and people will just use blunt objects, hand crafted weapons, spears, use knives anyways. Why haven't they worked out yet that banning items will not reduce crime but just make life more inconvenient for the rest of us

Yep.

In France we have much more crimes (including incapacitating injuries) with blades than with guns... but ... surprisingly, the government does not want to "control" them yet. Blades are indeed more lethal than guns.

P.S.: some recent French people like blades for "rituals" where they are accustomed to blood.

They can't stop people in prison from stabbing each other with home-made knives. FFS.

The UK is fast becoming (or is) an authoritarian state. Making a Nazi joke can land you in jail. Refusing to be a witness in a court case can get you arrested. And now, banning pointed knives is suggested by an influential doctor. If you live in the UK like me, we're fucked.

Sounds about right, anything but dealing with the actual problem.

Ban gravity! Falls kill many people as well. The guy is a psychiatrist. Why is he even commenting on this?

If you ban guns, what's next, banning knives? Scottland: Hold my beer

I’ve been saying this for years, as in murders are carried out with cheap knives from Tesco, not ban them.

But they keep placing restrictions on specialist knives that are too expensive for common scum. Instead of banning them just stop selling them dirt cheap. It’s literally a disposable murder weapon. Make all knives under £x a sheep foot point (or whatever the hell it was called). Joe blogs at home has no need for a piercing blade and we have a ridiculous knife crime problem in the uk (which isn’t being carried out using those £100+ knives they keep making t difficult to buy).

Once the excuses of: protection for women and children are used, the ban will go into effect.

Next they'll be banning sharp edges knives, then knife sharpeners, then bansaws and grinded that can be used to make knives sharper. Ill be more concerned when they come for the sharpening stones.
