Police in the United Kingdom want to public to know they’re working to combat violence on city streets, where ordinary kitchen utensils transform into deadly weapons – some more deadly than others. Regents Park Police Verified account @MPSRegentsPark Yesterday we conducted weapons sweeps,dealt with a person injured from a van reversing on them, reported a burglary and collected all these from @scope charity shop who diligently didn’t want them to get into the wrong hands & disposed of correctly & safely “Yesterday we conducted weapons sweeps, dealt with a person injured from a van reversing on them, reported a burglary and collected all these from @scope charity shop who diligently didn’t want them to get into the wrong hands & disposed of correctly & safely,” the Regents Park Police posted to Twitter, along with a picture of the haul. The cache of weapons consisted of several large butcher knives and other big blades, from a fencing sword and machete to serrated bread knives and meat skewers. But followers online noticed there were also some peculiar items included among the potential tools of death. “I count a letter opener, sharpening steel, several bread knives, a few serving forks, and a spatula among this cache of dangerous weapons,” Arthur Boreman wrote. “I literally cannot tell if this is a parody account or not.” “Police didn’t want this cache of weapons to fall into the wrong hands … Theres a fu**ing spoon and a butter knife in this photo … The UK has gone mad,” Tim Pool added. “They CHOSE to include the spoon. They could have just left it out. They really do think spoons are dangerous.” The absurd “weapons” confiscation stems from the UK’s rising rate of violent street crimes, from stabbings to drug crimes to gang violence. Politicians have attempted to crack down on the situation, mostly by preventing people from carrying anything that could be construed as a weapon. The result is providing a lot of entertainment for folks on Twitter, while the crime continues to climb to record rates. The rusty, dull spoon included among Tuesday’s haul is prompting particularly clever ridicule.

Tomorrow conduct a muzzie sweep and be done with the problem(s). “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
“I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.” - William S Burroughs
An unamusing thought occurred to me just the other day: if the UK police had decided to search my laptop computer when I traveled there on business last summer, I might still be locked away in their gaol for hate speech and thoughtcrimes.
Noticing is a crime in and of itself these days.

Just ask Tommy Robinson about that. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.

That is not a joke. A couple of years ago I read a post from a British lawyer making his way into London from the airport. He was stopped on a minor traffic infraction and as he was getting to his papers, the copper noticed a Swiss army knife sitting in his open brief case. The lawyer was busted and booked for it at the police station. He noted there was a fine to pay also. I don't fly a lot any more, but if I have to go to Europe, I'll avoid London at all costs.
