THIS IS REAL: UK Government Introduces ‘Knife Free’ Boxes of Fried Chicken to Reduce Violent Crime

snip>

The United Kingdom Home Office unveiled their new effort to crackdown on violent crime across England and Wales this week; introducing new ‘Knife Free’ boxes of Fried Chicken throughout the country.

“We are rolling out our #KnifeFree chicken boxes in over 210 chicken shops in England and Wales, including Morley’s, Dixy Chicken and Chicken Cottage. They use real life stories to show people how they can go #KnifeFree,” posted the official account of the Home Office UK.

The boxes are apparently normal fast-food containers with the words “#KnifeFree” included on the packaging.

A UK Member of Parliament demanded strict new policies to crackdown on violent crime throughout the United Kingdom earlier this year; calling for the implementation of a “GPS tracker” in every knife sold in the country.

“Every knife sold in the UK should have a gps tracker fitted in the handle. It’s time we had a national database like we do with guns. If you’re carrying it around you had better have a bloody good explanation, obvious exemptions for fishing etc,” tweeted MP Scott Mann.

Mann’s comments come as the UK struggles to clamp down on knife crime across London and beyond as homicide rates soar to record levels across the country.

1. It's almost like it's not the object that is the problem.

2. Apparently fishermen are the limeys version of FUDDS.

People often say that a civilized society has no need of weapons. However I say that a civilized society can be expected to keep them and know when not to use them.

The point to which you cannot trust your fellow man with a plastic knife is the point to which your society has broken beyond repair.

Simple solution really.

Just import some Americans with guns. Shoot the knife-bearing criminals when they present themselves. Problem staying solved.

In every society, no matter how civil, there will be dangerous outliers.

Being able to defend against those brigands is a natural right.

The bigger problem is that the UK is importing 3rd world savages.

Imagine how racist that would be deemed to be if they did that in the US?

Waiting until CA starts in on knives. An assisted opener is an EDC item for me and used so frequently that they typically last about a year or so.

I will not comply.

When you start importing different populations that have no interest in your own population except as victims.

There's a reason they're on fried chicken boxes, and no, I'm not kidding. That's the demographic they're after.

local to me....fatal killing last night in a city centre.
52 year old man - 7 teenage yoots
he was stabbed once, with a screwdriver

…too many UK politicians & public are too removed from reality & causality for the problem to EVER be fixed

They will ALWAYS seek to blame the tool, as it's easier on their conscience & voting demographics

ALSO IN UK NEWS TODAY
total drug deaths in the UK now at over 4300
Around 3000+ from illegal drugs, the rest from over-use or incorrect prescription of legally prescribed drugs
But, yeah, put fucking gps trackers in knives - add the annual battery change costs & record keeping admin to the rest of the taxes were swamped under

Genesis 4 -

Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. 3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. 4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.

6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”

8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.”[d] While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

You will never eliminate violence & murder from the hearts of men & women. Therefore all restrictions on guns, knives, or anything else do nothing to help those who do not commit these acts. In fact it will only remove from them that which they might use in their defense.

No idea = we've had a certain violent demographic being culturally enriching for a long time now
THEY added to the deaths by putting pressure on the effective "stop & search" powers - now it's more difficult to do this & the death toll is skyrocketing

One EASY FIX?
Close down the Fried Chicken shops - they attract fuckwits & crime like flies congregating around a pool of shit

Ne'er a fatal stabbing, of an evening, at Ye Olde Pie shoppe
Missouri Bucket O'Fried Fowl = can I get some body bags & a mop with that, to go....?
