"Knife Crime" in Britain

It IS possible to make a bow and arrow (not pretty but effective) using only plants- without a blade, flint, bone or any metals -but you'd need a fire

Even if I could use stuff out of rubbish bins, like tin cans, and if I had some rawhide or string handy, I know damn well I couldn't do it in an hour.

In my experience - finding the right piece of wood initially could take a while. (Especially in a city).

I made a pretty good bow (nearly 5ft) out of (seasoned) cedar when I was eighteen - with birch arrows (burnt heads). It took me a whole day and a half - and i had everything i needed from the start including the wood.
(AND i was being supervised)

The best 'weapon' I ever made was a boomerang

I made it in woodwork at school

First time I tried it out in a field I was so shocked to see it curve around and start flipping back towards me, it was almost funny.

So will GB ban sticks next?

Some conservatives have, indeed, suggested such.
But generally, in a democracy, it' depends how the parliaments decide.
Here: the Parliament in Westminster for the English and Welsh [and Northern Ireland] and the Scottish Pairlament for Scotland.

You have conservatism backwards. In fact, everything about GB is backwards, even the cars.

ooh i have one just like it. in my backpack at all times ready to cut, slice,dice,mutilate, poke, hack and annihilate any string or cardboard boxes that get in my way.

Exactly, It's a tool. I use if for everthing from opening boxes to cutting off a hangnail.

take the knives away, people are going to carry sharp pointy sticks.


true story.

the future is going to suck. seriously

haha. no guns? stabbings go up. no knives? what next? bombs? molotov cocktails? glass bottles? crowbars?

the problem isnt the knives, its the people.
