Maybe this guy that flies is just sort of passing through, you know?



Think carrying a knife is normal, because it's just a cutting tool you can use to open boxes or clean your nails or whatever? In the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland you're wrong. DEAD WRONG. You imbecile. You ignorant Colonial.

What sorts of dangerous weapons do they confiscate?

Okay, yeah that's one some deranged rough-sleeper could do some damage with. What else?

Protecting your children from being strangled by their robert cop costume, AND getting rid of ritual lloth knives from dark elves. Nice. But that's not all.

These brave bobbies are even keeping us safe from those who would wield nature's most terrifying and dangerous weapon, venomous serpents.

the #operationspectre and #weaponsweep hashtags are full of plenty more examples of police protecting us from getting our mobile nicked at knife point outside the Tesco's. Share your favorite! Or don't live your own truth.

The one with the pinking shears is ridiculous. I refuse to believe it's real, and I hope some UK goon shows us it's a hoax. It has to be a hoax, right?

they need to ban petrol - to prevent people from arson, like in japan
they need to ban acid - to prevent your face from looking like ditto from pokemon when someone tosses it in your eyes

Looking at that post with the pinking shears and needle nose pliers makes me sad. I'm sorry to say England, if that is not infact some elaborate joke, any basement dwelling goon could roll your police force.

They should adopt US policy the cops all have knives, really thin and narrow ones that are extremely pointy like better quality shanks.

The whole deal is that they'll be really twitchy and paranoid like US cops but instead of gun they assume you have knives then stab you to death out of fear for their own lives.

The reason the knives are really pointy and narrow and thin is cuz it will feel more like being stabbed by a big pin which I feel would hurt more also it will probably take more stabs and time for you to die with these weapons.

They do occasionally kill actual terrorists.

Acid is already much harder to get there due to the attacks.

When are they going to start confiscating pointy sticks?

:staredog: I was making a joke, I didn't realise the UK gov was already that retarded.

I'd be embarassed to be posting on an official twitter account about how proud I was to be taking someone's small wooden stick away.


^^^ If I was a UK copper I'd drive around looking for any construction sites or building works going on, then arresting all the workers for possession of deadly weapons. Highest arrest quota on the force! Super cop!

if you're a police officer executing a search warrant on a house, you should be careful of the guy inside sticking a sword through the slightly open door.

I have a solution to this as well. You have to transport the blade to get it home in the first place right? Unless the house has an on-site forge and the owner made their own swords then clearly they've violated the law and carried a blade in public to get them home.

No further evidence needed, toss them into the clink.
