You were warned. Once Britain disarmed the citizens they lost political liberty and the ability to defend themselves... British government Labor and Tory have failed you...

So when do we all get issued with blender's so that we can drink our food ?

Oh! The UK is now banning kitchen knives. What's next forks? This is what happens when liberals refuse to disband the gangs. They consider such a policy racial profiling. Same is going on in the USA. A good 50% plus of all homicides and felony assaults are gang violence.

Wait until they discover guns 😥

The knives are attacking people? 🤔

Wait, is this all kitchen knives or just assault kitchen knives?

I cant even laugh at them anymore. The empty pit of laughter is being filled with pity.

Smugglers sentenced to prison for smuggling knives,😂

Almost as if more laws don't stop criminals. Almost as if the evil in a man's heart will always have him finding new and creative ways to kill.

Diversity

YOU CANNOT FIX CRAZY!!!!

Nice solution. Now what are they gonna do? Just wonderful 👏

Well, thev'e banned hurty words.

See?! It isn’t the guns that kill people it’s the person using the gun that kills people. Second Amendment: Don’t touch it.

Clown world.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Prison rules in effect. Everyone gets a plastic spoon and a plastic cup. They need a national knife association in the uk.

We'll have to watch the stats on bitings now.

Wait until they outlaw making fists.

KattyKayBBC That should sort it. I suppose we’re all expected to cut our onions with an egg slicer?

The UK is truly lost

I've never seen a single knife in that supermarket.

That'll stop it, blame the knives!
