Breitbart: Small businesses have warned against “knee-jerk” legislation as the latest government figures reveal knife crime at its highest level since 2010.
British courts dealt with more than 21,100 knife crime cases in the year to June, according to Ministry of Justice figures. The 36 percent of offences which resulted in a custodial sentence was the highest proportion on record.
“Custodial sentences are now at the highest level they have been,” said the ministry, in its latest report on knife and offensive weapon sentencing statistics for England and Wales.
“In the year ending June 2018 over a third (36 percent or 7,649 offences) of all knife and offensive weapon offences resulted in immediate custody compared with just 6,212 offences or 23 percent in the year ending June 2009.”more
He had better lock down ” Stonehenge ” before the Rocks start flying !
If knives are outlawed only outlaws will have knives.
Cricket bats. I have one. I’m prepared for the Crickpocalypse.
Nobody has knives in their kitchen?
Next will be sharp sticks.
Knife assaults. So they were assault knives then. No wonder the Colonists wanted to break away from Mother England.
Next thing you know, we wont be able to run with scissors.
Rambo, Crocodile Dundee, and Mack have since been banned in Britain…

I love Pat Condell’s rants.
Definitely cutting edge public policy.
Easier than banning Mudslims.
And after the knife ban doesn’t work they will next ban short pieces of splintered lumber.
This is lunacy!
What about #2 pencils? Or pens? The only safe thing to do is have the UK go totally to using crayons.
I’m eating steak right now along with mashed potatoes and gravy, if they ban knives how can I cut my steak. IDIOTS! Next they’ll try to ban forks because you can still jab some one with a fork and then spoons because they cause you to eat too much, and then finally teeth and then we’ll have to puree all our food (YUCK!) but food processors have sharp blades as well. Why don’t we just ban all liberal idiots and their dumbass ideas instead or quit paying attention to their idiotic ideas.
Liberal Paradise: “Sorry Mrs. Woods, but we’ll need to do a background check before I can sell you that new 5 iron to replace the on you lost.”
That shit would stop in a hurry if they allowed concealed carry guns.
@mrhanoverfist nailed it.
Cue the legislative report banning forks.
There’s your problem right there, they don’t seem to have defensive weapons.
“If you don’t eat yer meat, you can’t have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat yer meat?”
“I can eat my meat, I just can’t cut it anymore!!”
When they ban letter openers and putty knives, the Moslems will have to resort to cheese graters and pedicure rasps.
Ship’em all back to Mecca… one-way.
