This was done to keep the ruling class in place. (By this, I mean Parliament, not the Crown) Now, for all intents and purposes, the only people that have guns in Jolly Old England, are the government and criminals. However, this hasn\u2019t stopped many people from looking for other implements of mayhem. They have fallen back on a weapon that has been around since people learned how to chip stone and make it sharp. In other words, knives and other bladed items.<\/p>\n<p>Now that the British have returned to hacking each other up, the government, in the case the Mayor of London, has decided the next step is to ban knives.

Knives as \u201cWeapons of War?\u201d While knives are issued to the military, modern soldiers prefer not to use them in combat. It means they literally have nothing left to fight the enemy with. Granted, knives are occasionally used, mostly by special forces, but in general, issued knives are used as tools. Of course, the Mayor of London can\u2019t admit the actual truth. His policies and the policies of the Government with regards to dealing with violence have been a dismal failure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>The &#8220;tough, immediate&#8221; measures involve an incredible police crackdown, a ban on home deliveries of knives and acid, and expanding law enforcement stop-and-search powers so that police may stop anyone they believe to be a threat, or planning a knife or acid attack. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>So, they are going to go full totalitarian then?
