good luck with your knife ban douche bags.
Hey, c*ck-muppet - just FYI - knives have been mostly banned in the UK for decades. It's fine.

Good reasons for carrying a knife or weapon
Examples of good reasons to carry a knife or weapon in public can include:A court will decide if you’ve got a good reason to carry a knife or a weapon if you’re charged with carrying it illegally.
- taking knives you use at work to and from work
- taking it to a gallery or museum to be exhibited
- if it’ll be used for theatre, film, television, historical reenactment or religious purposes, for example the kirpan some Sikhs carry
- if it’ll be used in a demonstration or to teach someone how to use it
Go peddle your smug, scare-mongering, self-serving bullsh*t in your own country, where kids get mowed down with machine guns in schools on regular basis. Conservative government in UK has been making cuts to the police force, because that's what conservative c*nts do. Reality Check: What has happened to police numbers? But the chances of getting stabbed in the street in UK are smaller than the chances of being killed in a school, or a place of worship in US. So stick that in your orange pipe and smoke it...
