DANGEROUS: A man with “significant learning difficulties” was arrested and jailed after found in a Scottish street carrying a potato peeler “without reasonable excuse.”
The United Kingdom must be stopped.
Scott Walker, 39, was taken from custody to Dunfermline Sheriff Court where he admitted that he was carrying a potato peeler in a public place. Technically a potato peeler counts as an object that has a “blade” or is “sharply pointed.”
Potato peelers now join Nazi pugs on Scotland’s official “gulag” list. more here
Ya gotta be shittin me!
I thank God my ancestors left that benighted land centuries ago.
Where dafuk is William Wallace when you need him?

If you carry a potato peeler, always carry a potato. Just not in the back of your pants…..

my Scottish ancestors are rolling in their graves
It appears the blood lines of William Wallace, Robert the Bruce and Scottish King James IV no longer exists in Scotland.
It is a sad sight to see.
Thank the Lord for Scottish immigration to the US, it strengthened our blood lines for over 200 years.
Scotland hasn’t been itself since Sean Connery started “acting”.
our future,
ifwhen the progtards get in charge” … until you pry the nail clippers from my cold, dead hands!”
The UK has been irrevocably exposed to the viral contagion known as “Europe” ever since they decided to dig that damn Chunnel.
Even with Brexit I fear they too far gone.
“When all You have is Peeler…all problems look like a Potato”
(I’ll be in the iotw lounge…trying to shake loose that stuck
bag of Lays out of the Vending Machine…)
It was an assault peeler. No one needs one of those.
Heaven forbid, someone might break out and make Fish & Chips!
Oh, and Bcattin gets the “comment of the day” award. 😀
looked like an automatic peeler to me, maybe fully automatic. Wait I think it has a bump handle.
the hell with it I will eat my taters in the jacket.
Hey, I am patiently waiting for common sense to return….
No, I’m not holding my breath.
Like Mike and Pinko said last show. It sneaks up on you. It’s sneaking up on us now. If Hitlary had been elected they’d already be collecting our guns.
‘Potato Peeler’
Somehow, this story needs to dovetail with a story from a few days ago about ‘What should we call a manpuss?’.
Sent an e-mail on this one to Mr. Big and his response was,
“Just think if he had a cheese grater!”
Or some such reply… How many years in prison for one of those? Boggles the mind!
…arrested and jailed after found in a Scottish street carrying a potato peeler “without reasonable excuse.”
And a reasonable excuse would be…
Oh man, you can’t make this stuff up! And I’m sitting here cracking up at all your comments….funny stuff!!!
Can you open carry scissors and forks in England?
Had this poor guy been a mooslem, everyone would have looked the other way.
So just how soon are they going to try to ban can openers and then bottle openers and any other kind of kitchen tool that could cause mayhem not just to innocent vegetables but people as well? I also use my potato peeler to peel turnips. If this keeps up we’ll have to eat all our veggies raw since all the kitchen tools will be banned because of a single crazy guy with a supposed illegal potato peeler. And God forbid someone might use a plastic straw, someone could use it to shoot spitballs and shoot some dumbass lib turds eye out.
How about glass? Is glass banned?
How about “Buffalo Bill” in Silence of the Lambs…did he use a potato peeler in his despicable deeds?
Europe and the UK are so totally fucked, we should sever all ties with them until the clean up their mess THEMSELVES…not with our help!
As an Irishman, if someone took my potato peeler from me, I’d gouge his eye out with a spoon. And would have no regrets, ye know?
Good thing he didn’t have a salad shooter.
Just sayen, ” Brzezinski ” does not sound Irish.
As far as I’m concerned, they can all eat their potatoes with the skins on, if that’s what arresting this fellow with his potato peeler means?
I see why the Irish left the United Kingdom during the Great Famine, or what’s referred to also as the Irish Potato Famine, during which a million Irish died of famine and another emigrated, actually fled for the lives, many to America, but also to Canada, Australia and New Zealand. What is heart breaking is that the Irish peasants were working the land, raising crops which the English landlords took and exported out of Ireland, transporting shiploads of grain out of Ireland in front of the starving masses for their profits, often parents watching their children and families dying of starvation. The population of Ireland dropped by almost a fourth from 1845 to 1849. After this, the Irish never trusted the English again, and were willing to undergo any sacrifice in order to escape English domination. The English broke the understanding that the leaders of a country would look after the welfare of the populace. The Republic of Ireland achieved independence after the 5 year Irish War of Independence, in 1921.
It doesn’t appear there has been much change in attitude since then as far as the UK is concerned. Are they concerned for the welfare of the populace?
Oh the best part (or worst) is that one of the links leads to a local news article with this sentence: “”A man ended up behind bars after being found in a Dunfermline street with an offensive weapon, a potato peeler.”
Seriously, do these people listen to themselves? At all? Ever?
He got it through the ‘knife show loophole.’ Y’know, the Ron Popiel infomercials where you could order a full set of ginsu knives –that came with free kitchen gadgets if you ordered by midnight– with no background check.
The cops were afraid he was gonna skin some flute?
Whispers: “Hey – ya want yer potato peeled? I’ve got me contraband peeler, here!”
Potato Peelers were outlawed alongside the Dirk after Culloden.

Good thing it wasn’t Ireland….
Imagine if Mae West had seen him. She would have said “Is that a potato peeler in your pocket or are you just glad to see me”?
