Their peace of mind and safety are not serious considerations , except in the lead up to a general election. We can always just moan about it and hope it goes away?

Wank governments yes, again which is why we need to rip up the sentencing guidelines and introduce harsher sentences for carrying knives. Of course that won't completely eradicate knife crime but it's better than moaning and saying nothing can be done. I used to carry a knife fishing, hunting, cutting plasterboards, laying a bit of lino…..I have one in the truck now for opening feed bags. What about hammers ?…….or rolling pins ? What about garden spades or shovels ? A brick ?………a cricket bat ? What about a garden or dinner fork ? Carving fork ? To my knowledge I’ve never harmed anyone with any of these and neither have 99.99% of other people……but now they should get 10 year behind the door just for having them maybe ? Absolute f***ing nonsense ! Let me tell everyone this, I bet British citizens wasn’t going round offing each other with machetes prior to 40 year ago and the birth and coming of age of the 2nd & 3rd generation…….do the f***ing maths !

Lol There's a big difference between carrying a knife to fit a carpet and carrying a knife to spill someone's guts all over the f***ing floor! And no, you don't send someone down for ten years for carrying a knife with no malicious intent, arresting bob the chef on his way to cutting up some steak is completely different to arresting a gangster on the street FFS. And if that's your major concern, how about a knife license, that would be too hard I take it? Ok, so if your only concern is the route cause then how about more effort in to tackling gang culture, there's a start? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have they started employing policemen who can read minds now then ?……..please, tell me, how exactly can you distinguish when a 12 year old (or any age) tells you he is carrying a machete to go and cut back a few branches in a fishing spot or sort out his granny’s over grown tree in the garden or when he is going to stick it in someone’s head outside the local fried chicken shop ?………how do you do that ? Just by looking or what ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But introducing a knife license would be a start, more effort in to school programs pointing out it's severity, tackling gang culture, all options, but let's not do anything yeah?

Lol You do realise that it would be some 45 year old white bloke with a penknife getting nicked don’t you ?……absolute f***ing ludicrous ! Lol I know you don’t actually believe it yourself but it’s an interesting conversation if for no other reason than to highlight the childlike proposition of you can legislate your way out of a genetic disease !

chartpolski 23,201 Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 The government will f**k this up as all governments do. They will bring in draconian laws about owning and carrying knives, maybe even licensing certain knives. The people who will suffer will be the bloke walking his dog and having a Swiss Army knife in his pocket or a bloke like me going to his allotment with an opinel pruning knife. Every prosecution for carrying a knife will be hailed as “winning the war on knife crime” but the wrong people will be targeted. The wrong’uns will still carry on no matter, but the everyday bloke going about his business will suffer. Theres a precedent for this, the banning of hand guns didn’t stop the criminals obtaining and using them ; it just made the British Olympic Shooting Team keep there guns in France and practice there !! In my mind , forget banning knives, make possession of one without good reason result in a minimum two year jail sentence. Having a Swiss Army knife in your pocket while walking your dog in the countryside is a good reason…. Having a machete inside your hoody on a Friday night in town isn’t ! Beig in possession of , threatening to use, or using a knife in the commission of a crime should carry a mandatory ten year jail sentence. Aggressive Stop & Search should be initiated immediately, irrespective of race or colour. Cheers, 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah because no white man has ever stabbed anyone have they, no white man has ever been involved in gang crime as well. So if you don't want to bring in knife restrictions, don't want to tackle gang culture, what do you suggest we do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It would never happen because police wouldn't stop & search a man walking to an allotment. Stop & search would be deployed in our cities which is desperately needed. I don't want a knife license introduction, as you say, it won't really stop gang members carrying knives, harsher sentences will deter some though and that is a net win.

Cheers, a mandatory sentence of 10 years in jail, theres no fcukin room in jail, they are kicking folks out to make room fer the rioters, and those that are being released warly are still commiting crime, harsher sentencies, wont deter the brain dead , im going to hide behind my curtains now, and hope it goes away Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Let me give you a first hand experience; Woodga, LDR and myself were walking between rabbiting permission’s and the police stopped us and searched us and issued us with notices”suspected of poaching “, even though they saw the permission letters and spoke to the farmers. The police simply wanted to report at the end of their shift that they had made a ‘collar’, they had nothing on us but still issued the notices. I walk to my allotments twice a day with my dogs over fields that have a public right of way but I have regular run ins with the keeper and the farmer. If the police were called I would be in the right, but I’ve no doubt the police would search me and if I was carrying a knife I’m sure it would depend on the policeman’s outlook what the result would be ! I know most of your replies are designed to provoke a response, that’s ok, that’s what forums are about, but just saying the opposite to everyone else isn really debate.

You are complaining about the inconvenience yet have just proposed stop & search on the streets, make your mind up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
