Of course. the solution is to ban knives, not the people wielding them on trains. The UK government seems to believe that if everyone is dumbed down to the level of a small child, the entire country will be easier to control. Like all Liberal policies, this one appears to be backfiring spectacularly. The UK government has banned "zombie-style" knives and machetes and has other measures in place, such as stricter online sales regulations and increased penalties for selling knives to minors. There is no single, sweeping BBC ban on all knives, though discussions about potential bans on other types of knives or knife licensing are ongoing. Bans and laws Zombie knives and machetes: Possession of these weapons, defined as having a blade longer than eight inches (20cm), is illegal in England and Wales since September 2024. Offensive Weapons Act: The new legislation closed loopholes that allowed many of these weapons to be sold legally. Surrender program: Before the law took effect, a program allowed people to surrender banned weapons to police without prosecution. Other measures Online sales: The government is reviewing how knives are sold online, with plans for stronger age and identity verification checks for both online and in-person sales. Increased penalties: There are increased prison sentences for those convicted of selling knives to underage individuals. Possession with violent intent: A new offense has been created for illegally possessing a weapon with the intent to cause violence, regardless of the weapon's legality. Ongoing discussions Other knife types: Some groups, like the Church of England, judges, and doctors, have supported banning other types of knives, particularly pointed kitchen knives. Licensing: The possibility of a licensing scheme for certain knives has also been discussed.

UK: Muslim Security Minister Warns Against Speculating About Mass Train Stabber Nov 2, 2025 11:00 am By Daniel Greenfield 3 Comments The UK public has a choice between being stabbed by Muslim terrorists or being arrested by their own government. 10 people were stabbed on a train in the UK. 9 of them are in the hospital with life-threatening injuries. Two unnamed persons are reportedly under arrest. People fled the attackers, trampling each other and hiding in the toilets, while the terrorists roamed doing their bloody work. And the authorities have emphasized the importance of not discussing who might have done it. Shabana Mahmood, an Islamist politician who wanted to outlaw any discussion of Islamic violence as ‘Islamophobia’, was appointed to head security by the Starmer regime, has warned “I urge people to avoid comment and speculation at this early stage.” There’s no need to urge the public to “avoid comment and speculation” when the violence comes from the right-wing or a mentally ill man. Once the authorities urge us to “avoid comment and speculation”, we know what they don’t want us talking about. Mahmood’s warning isn’t just an empty threat. Those living in the UK who ‘commented’ or ‘speculated’ in the past had the police show up at their door and have been arrested. After a Muslim terrorist murdered 3 British girls, a 55-year-old woman was dragged out of her home, arrested and held for 36 hours for “posting inaccurate information” that he was Muslim. Allison Pearson, a journalist, had the police show up at her door after she tweeted a criticism of them for posing with members of an Islamist movement. Such incidents have become routine. One of the most infamous cases is Lucy Connolly, the mother of two children, who had lost her little boy after his hospitalization, and expressed her anger after the brutal Muslim terrorist murders of three little girls at a dance studio. Lucy was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison even while Islamists have been allowed to spout their support for terrorism and genocide. The UK public has a choice between being stabbed by Muslim terrorists or being arrested by their own government.
