Britain Planning To Outlaw All Knives
BY Herschel Smith

The Sun:

Home Secretary Amber Rudd will today propose to make possessing them illegal everywhere, whether in public or at home.

A long list of dangerous weapons that glamorise violence will also be included in the total ban, putting them on the same legal footing as unlicensed firearms.

They include sword sticks, butterfly knives and blowpipes, as well as a range of martial arts weapons such as deathstars and handclaws.

Well, if they can pull me back onto the ice, I'd be happy with that, but pulling pork would work in the summertime.
