@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.

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.

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...

@jegga hmmm... I kinda lost interest in watching when he announced a reason for the USA becoming independent from GB was due to a trial of facial recognition software.
Hahaha fkn what?

@antipodean Rights and freedoms that people no longer have in the UK.
edit (apologies I got a response before my edit came through, thought it was best to explain some context)
That's what he was getting at. It's been a bit of a theme this year especially on the 1st amendment. -

The ~230 years between events is the issue.

I think he was relying on people having the brains to see it as an example, not the literal....
You have to be a special kind of retard to not understand his point. You dont have to agree with it, but to not understand is pretty special needs. Nobody actually thinks, including him, that facial recognition software was aorund during the revolution, and it is abundantly clear he wasnt saying it actually was, it was an exmple of UK govt control and intrusion of civil liberties.
But hey if some of you want to try and appear clever by being stupid... go ahead. -
@Baron-Silas-Greenback To be fair BSG, they've been heading down this path for a while now. Its difficult to credit how much and how quickly they embraced CCTV surveillance, starting with the "ring of steel", GCHQ Cheltenham's monitoring of pretty much all communications, police stop and search powers and any number of other initiatives. All met with complete indifference by the voters. Britain has the level of state interference they deserve, because nobody has said boo. Although it's not as if any political party ever offered an alternative.

No Party is going to offer an alternative while Oceania is at war with Eurasia .

But hey if some of you want to try and appear clever by being stupid... go ahead.It's an idiotic attempt at an example. It's not even an example. But hey go ahead with the insults, I'm sure you're allowed to carry on in that manner and if I was to laugh at you being allowed to defend his remark and to insult those that laughed at his idiotic example in doing so, well that would be out of line.
You'd have to be some kind of uppity moron to call others retards because they can see something is an idiotic example, that's pretty insecure.

Sargon attacked again, attacks on Tommy have escalated (see other thread) and Mr Brexit is getting a dose too (Police actually arrest his attacker presumably because he went to the right school or something). All the while media and politicians are championing more violence and for the most part police aren't providing a deterrent.
How long before this?
