Oh my god. I just realised these weren't taken from individuals..but a charity shop.
I wonder if the police are aware of the true scope of the weapons problem in the UK, I've heard rumours that every single UK resident has at least one if not multiple weapons of this magnitude. -

The replies to that tweet are solid gold.

More than half those are kitchen knives. Mass hysteria and panic, everywhere.

Just outstanding stuff.
It's funny as all hell..but consider this.
You write something 'edgy' on social media, like 'Islam is bad' or 'Women don't have a penis' etc. Enough to have the police to come around but not enough to have you charged, you get a little lippy at the ridiculousness of it all and they use that as just cause to do a weapons search of the house.
They find your massive weapons stash in the top kitchen drawer.
The Guardian/Mirror/Independent/Buzzfeed then release simultaneous articles on a white supremacist transphobe arrested with a weapons stash in central London.
Politicians then use this as evidence to further restrict freedoms and access to cutlery!

@jegga I'm guessing BBQ's are out of the question this summer too.
Also how much damage can an Epée do? If a bloke in a dark alley came at me with one of those I might actually laugh.I’d imagine @Bones being from Eastbourne sees an epee as a fighting knife .

This is bloody annoying.. turns out everytime I call @Hooroo a spoon, I am actually calling him a weapon? FFS.

How very dare you. I think you'll find sir that in my trusty hands, that's a wmd.

@Baron-Silas-Greenback but did you call him a big spoon or a little spoon!?
-
There is like 64 'weapons' there. Of those only 2 you could even class as weapons and that's assuming they are sharp/made of a firm material..and considering this police farce are literally trying to palm off multiple bread knives as a weapons haul then I'd say there is a better than decent chance these aren't weapons either.
What the he'll is going on for them to think this was a good idea?

And steady on where you're waving that knife sheath. Especially if you're trying to sharpen the mini carving fork on the knife sharpener!

Searches brain ... searches internet ... searches soul.
Nup, nothing I can do to defend Britain from TSF onslaught this time!
Thats because all your knives have been confiscated. And some of the forks too. And at least one spoon.
First they came for the knives and I did nothing because I was not a knife. Then they came for the forks and ...........

Again you see this massive disconnect between the establishment and normal people. Only someone completely removed from the world outside would think that this was a good idea
