They will never admit the real reasons...

Nothing makes Britain look more childish than their political sloganeering.

If you think the push for "Assault style rifle" is dumb, look at how hard they're pushing to call them "zombie knives" in all their legacy media and all the retarded boomers just eat it up.

A country of mostly mental 5-year olds, ruled by a cabal of mental 13-year olds who think they're the adults in the room by comparison. I guess they probably should be kept away from sharp things when I think about it like that...

Knives? The UK Gestapo, I mean police, confiscates potato peelers... and lacks the self-awareness to realize they shouldn't brag about that on social media.

Here’s them boasting of seizing some mother’s cutlery drawer:

One wonders why knives suddenly became a problem as the UK imported half the third world.

They've been going after knives there for a while. UK has been fucked in the head for a hot minute.

The left works like a ratchet. When they reach any goal, they are still not happy and will then push it even farther. Brits thought they would stop at guns? Please. It won't stop until the plebs are in chains.

We tried to warn them, and they just laughed at us and lectured us about how they are so much more civilized than us cowboy Americans. Hopefully they are still happy with their sanctimony, since it only cost them everything.

Weird how giving up guns did fuck all to prevent criminal attacks. Must have been knives that were the real problem. This will surely be fixed in a way that allows pensioners to be arrested over table cutlery.

Breaking news, "assault chopsticks"! As long as there's savages trying to harm one-another or the innocent, it doesn't matter how much they're restricted. Soon it will be "British gardens are filled with 'attack rocks', stones larger than 3 inches across!".

Man arrested for splitting chopsticks recklessly, thus creating what the police are calling an improvised stabbing device.

A general ban on sticks longer than 3 inches is in effect. Being in posession of a sharpened stick, known as a "backyard poker," is a jailable offense.

Residents were heard calling for bans on backyard pokers following the successful bans of zombie knives, ninja swords, and Roman salutes.

Uhh there are tons of laws preventing people from owning and using these weapons, but why does knife violence continue to increase?!?!

failing to curb

As it happens, curb-stomping "content" may also get banned from the British internet soon.

I saw a video from the uk where in the midst of an argument a guy slashed with an ordinary kitchen knife and it cut off several of the other person's fingers. It might even have been one of those non-pointy bongland knives.

The thought that mandating kitchen knives have blunt tips is laughably counterintuitive. Prisoners can make deadly stabbing implements by scraping any hard object against an abrasive surface like a concrete wall. And one thing Europeans like to brag about is how their homes have stone walls instead of wood and drywall like ours.

Flat stones will now be banned. Special licenses will be needed to posses high-grit sandpaper as well.

Someone needs to tell the bedwetters in the UK government about spears. You know, Tree branches sharpened on the sidewalk.

It'll blow their minds.

"Backyard pokers" you mean. I hear they are next on the banning list after zombie knives, ninja swords, and space lasers.

It's totally the knives that cause the problem. Please remember that noticing is strictly illegal.
