*There is a clever genius to these programs

#2 There is a certain amount of silliness inherent in the Brits. Knives of useful size have been banned since the Knives Act of 1997

I think it stems from the Government's traditional fear of its own people dating back to the days when Edward I, the Hammer of the Scots, was building castles hither and yon to ensure the peace. A Brit's right to self defense is pretty much limited to yelling loudly. No guns, no crossbows, no knives, no chance.

#3 What Britain needs now is a prolific and uncatchable strangler. Maybe a garrotte artist. Somebody that terrifies every granny lady on the island.

Even better--a headhunter. Finding about a dozen bodies around London, sans head, would do wonders for their weapons control programs.
