THE LAST SAMURAI: JAPANESE SWORDS TO BE BANNED Quote: Home Office Minister Hazel Blears told MPs this week she was "looking seriously" at outlawing the weapons. A Home Office spokesman said: "We are looking at this matter urgently. We expect to make an announcement shortly." They were made fashionable by films such as Kill Bill starring Uma Thurman. The story is from last month.

oh dear god. This a majorly touchy subject for me,bein a redneck an all whilest living in the uk. I haven't read all the articles yet,but I just had to point out the "scanning people on buses" garbage. Just a couple of weeks ago,they announced that they were putting metal detectors in the tube and bus stations....AGAIN. What they were actually doing was taking ONE walk thru metal detector on ONE ...

We are all castigating and bemoaning the idiocy of the British Parliment. And truly they deserve it, over this issue anyway. But here is an item closer to home. We have at least one candidate and one side of the isle who look very fondly at this sort of foolishness and wish to emulate it here. (Chicago, New York, and D.C. invented this sort of idiocy re: weapons) True, the other candidate and ...

Having just returned from Europe I thought I'd reply with a couple of observations about my experiences there. One issue that is probably pertinent is that I was travelling as an obvious middle-aged tourist with a large extended family (grandparents, uncles, aunts, kids, etc.) in upscale, "touristy" areas.

A number of the "innocent" kids have later been shown to be part of an opposing gang, dealing in drugs etc. Time and again the story has hit the news "innocent victim of knife crime", a couple of days later we get "innocent victim was part of/...

I train a few LEO's here in london and they all have said that the "sudden upsurge" of knife crime is actually bogus in terms of statistics. Knife has stayed the same for about 10 years now,the only difference is the age of the offenders. The media is playing it up like some kind of epidemic. Also,they refuse to admit that education is the key. Not the moronic view of "let's ban everything ...
