Having himself been stabbed in the back on an almost daily basis, these last few months, maybe Gordon Browns will finally get round to dealing with the pervasive knife crime problem plaguing Britain's streets?
In your face Ben Eltons.

What are you talking about? We have never had guns in large numbers until fairly recently now any gang can get them. It is obvious to me that you have never been out of the US or you wouldn't say such rubbish.

wth, we go from knife crimes to gay marriage..talk about changing the subject...
I just thought that complaining about a nanny state and then wanting the state to protect you would be seen as a little odd, no?
Come on keep up. Sometimes it may be required that you think about a whole concept.

the role of government is to protect it's citizens..
no, I'm not asking the Government for anything, except to get the hell out of our lives..they are too involved as it is..
I don't see why the small population of homosexuals should demand marriage and expect us to just role over....the majority of Americans are against homosexuals marrying, so your point was moot..but I understand why you would want to change the subject..

So you want the government to legislate to define marriage, preventing the gays from marrying, but don't see that as the government acting as a "nanny"?
Rather odd.
Anyway, you don't live here so you don't have to worry your pretty little head about a man inventing a stupid knife.

I think the small population of homosexuals should back off..
And I'm glad I don't live there, I don't take giving up my freedoms lightly.

Luckily you live in freedom central, where inventors would rather shoot themselves than invent some stupid product which would annoy freedom loving Americans.

No it hasn't called for a banning of "pointed knives". That starting point is maybe where you're going wrong.

Doctors' kitchen knives ban call
Doctors say knives are too pointed
A&E doctors are calling for a ban on long pointed kitchen knives to reduce deaths from stabbing.
A team from West Middlesex University Hospital said violent crime is on the increase - and kitchen knives are used in as many as half of all stabbings.
They argued many assaults are committed impulsively, prompted by alcohol and drugs, and a kitchen knife often makes an all too available weapon.
Snip:
The researchers say legislation to ban the sale of long pointed knives would be a key step in the fight against violent crime.
"The Home Office is looking for ways to reduce knife crime.
"We suggest that banning the sale of long pointed knives is a sensible and practical measure that would have this effect."
Government response
Home Office spokesperson said there were already extensive restrictions in place to control the sale and possession of knives.
"The law already prohibits the possession of offensive weapons in a public place, and the possession of knives in public without good reason or lawful authority, with the exception of a folding pocket knife with a blade not exceeding three inches.
"Offensive weapons are defined as any weapon designed or adapted to cause injury, or intended by the person possessing them to do so.
"An individual has to demonstrate that he had good reason to possess a knife, for example for fishing, other sporting purposes or as part of his profession (e.g. a chef) in a public place.
"The manufacture, sale and importation of 17 bladed, pointed and other offensive weapons have been banned, in addition to flick knives and gravity knives."

So where here are the government banning "pointed knives"?
From what i can see some doctors called for some impractical measures to be taken against some kitchen knives and the government's response was that the measures already on the statute book were adequate.
Since 2005, when the article was published, pointed kitchen knives are freely available to purchase in all good knife emporiums. You can stop worrying now.
