Every time I see the UK in the news, I feel so out of touch with reality. How could people have fallen so far and let their nanny state take over so fast?

This is a comment by a retiring judge, it's not reflected in law. Why are you getting so upset about someones opinion?

Wait... You mean people could just prepare and cook their own food?! Without years of expensive training, rigid licensing requirements and frequent random health inspections? That's insane!

It is becoming pretty clear that Brexit was just a momentary spasm of a people already given in to creeping totalitarianism.

Also no baseball bats over 6" in length. Cars can weigh no more than 300#s and cannot exceed 10 mph top speed.

Ahhh, but knife control will solve all ... just like the war on drugs.

Ha right..... News flash to the authorities. The drugs have won the war on drugs.

So how the fuck am I supposed to cut a melon now?

e: Wait what the fuck?!?!: He asked: “But why we do need eight-inch or ten-inch kitchen knives with points?

“Butchers and fishmongers do, but how often, if at all, does a domestic chef use the point of an eight-inch or ten-inch knife? Rarely, if at all."

Do people in Europe not fucking cook or something? I've literally used 9+ inch knives the last three days in a row while preparing food.

This just shows how much of a slippery slope banning guns is. They just move on to the next thing until the populace is utterly powerless to defend itself against assailants, or the government.

A sharp knife is a safe knife. I've cut myself on dull knives far more than I've ever cut myself with sharp ones.

This is dumb. It's a tool being used incorrectly, but it doesn't stop being an important tool when used for its intended purpose. If it's not guns, it's knives. If they ban knives, what will they use next? Cricket bats? Garden tools?

Argument in 30 years: Bats are too hard and using foam is the solution to soaring violent crime, judge says.
