UK map of knife crimes between April and June of 2007
I'd be interested in learning what they consider a "knife crime." In
the UK, mere possession of most knives is a crime. They recently passed
legislation requiring all kitchen (chef, butcher, steak) knives to have
blunt tips so they couldn't be used for stabbing. Municipal buses sport
messages extolling citizens to turn in their knives to the authorities.
It's gotten truly crazy.
I no longer ship my knives to any part of the UK for this reason.

It should be noted that the Sun newspaper is held in somewhat less regard
in
the UK than Fox news is in the US. It is known more for the mammaries of
the
young ladies on page three than the quality of its journalism.

Sounds like a paper for conservatives.
