In a few years hence, discussing the banning for pointy knives, probably

Hummm, I'm in the UK, more correctly B Liars "Ban'd-It" ****ry.
Shopping malls have started banning anyone wearing baseball caps,
hoodies and the like.
Yoofs now carry golf clubs (and a ball in their pocket) when out and
about, baseball bats being a direct incitement to get arrested by the
police....
Handguns, or more correctly E.U. defined "small firearms" are now banned
except for a very few exceptions, even though the rest of europe still
has them though now licenced and the Republic of Ireland has started to
allow them for target shooting again!

On the way home after work tonight, the BBC was running a story about
attempts to ban comedians from making religious jokes, to prevent them
from inciting riots. What are you brits doing over there? Pretty
soon you'll all be sitting around wrapped in bubble wrap and drinking
cold tea!
