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.

@Rancid-Schnitzel A pencil on its own is bad enough but realistically it will probably lose its stabbing effectiveness after maybe 4 or 5 stabbings therefore limiting its ability to be be used in mass stabbing occurances. The real issue comes when they are used with this little device which can easily turn a normal pencil into an 'assault pencil' upping its stabbing capacity by about 100x.

Gulp. My boys have several of those as well. They're armed to the teeth. Their pencil cases are storage devices of death.

I'll have you know my kids love my puns. Well, when I say love, they used to quit like them. Some years ago. Quite a few years ago come to think about it.

@Crucial For some though, me certainly, the ridicule is the self congratulatory tweet. So what, you've picked up some junk from a charity shop when they asked you to do it. Hardly medals all round.
That's just usual PR shit as done by some young communications grad and totally to be expected.
Obviously tasked to try and show any positive toward knife crime.
I doubt that kind of OTT 'look at us' post is restricted to the Police. Some of the tweets the company I work for are cringeworthy rather than newsworthy as well.It was the 'ooh look there are kitchen knives in there' comments I was taking aim at.
Actually i've been putting a bit more thought to this and I am reminded of a great cup run that my old rugby club had many years back. Our skipper was getting interviewed on local TV every other week and we had this game going whereby he had to get a certain word into the interview each time. Nothing filthy bt usually quite out of context and just for our own fun. Anyway, I'm wondering the the police have been told they have to put this sort of crap out there and they're just having a bit of fun and putting in the odd spoon or bicycle wheel for their own amusement.

@Catogrande reckon they follow @Rembrandt on TSF too just to see the fury? Plus betting on how long until they see the tweet appear...
