More than half those are kitchen knives. Mass hysteria and panic, everywhere.
A kitchen knife is still a knife.
Good to see everyone missing the point in the rush to point the finger at perceived overkill and look clever.
The picture is NOT of confiscated weapons or even of items deemed illegal/dangerous by the police.
This is a collection of items that a charity shop doesn't want the responsibility selling (as they are staffed by volunteers) and the subsequent legalities around selling (age verification etc)To ridicule them for taking a sensible step and handing them to authorities for disposal is stupid.
If by “sensible” you mean “mass hysteria,” “fear,” “panic” and “paranoia,” then yes, I agree with you entirely, it’s simply “sensible.” We wouldn’t want anybody having liablitity for selling bread knifes and bbq forks.

I feel pretty bad for not taking spoon crime seriously now.
Actually I dont, this kind of silliness lends itself to pisstaking and it'll be a sad day on the fern when people get too precious to mock things like this.

Umm, sale of knives is restricted by law.
Damn spoon though. Maybe it’s for melting your horse before going on a knife rampage?

No, stupid is you even wasting a second of your time defending this.

Apparently you can bring a spoon to a knife fight.

Look maybe if this was a one-off of British police idiocy then I could forgive it as a massive oversight. But it isn't there are plenty of examples in this thread. (Remember the weapons sweep in a park where they found a screwdriver and a bike wheel!) Overlay that with escalating actual crime figures, members of the public being investigated and arrested for jokes, bad tweets and thought crimes and there is a pretty compelling narrative that something is seriously going wrong at the moment.

Is that a croquet mallet?
You mock but Croquet mallet bashings in Harrow are now at an all time low since this.
Toy gun pretend shootings unfortunately haven't declined but Sadiq's proposal to create a government register to track these vile weapons and their associated toxic masculinity influence should soon turn that around.

@Catogrande is dying to make a horrendous pun involving files and pedophiles from the last photo .

The truly disgusting thing here is large multinational corporations profiting in blatant weapons distribution throughout the UK even to the point of offering free delivery.
Shame on you Jeff Bezos!

Some more doozies
Please, for the love of God, tell me that the pencil was a joke. My boys have these thick, 30cm tourist pencils with pictures of Cologne on them. I never realised they were stashing deadly weapons. Holy shit. My entire house is one massive weapons cache. Better ditch the aloe vera plant. It has spikes on it!!! Thank christ I don't have a cactus.
