‘British Doctors Call for Ban on Long Kitchen Knives to End Stabbings
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 consulted 10 top chefs from around the UK, and found such knives have little practical value in the kitchen.
None of the chefs felt such knives were essential, since the point of a short blade was just as useful when a sharp end was needed….’ source
Thanks to Pascal for the heads-up.
So one assumes that these -no doubt carefully chosen – tame research chefs never need to slice and dice? Wabbit wonders what the fuck they cook….also, my training taught me that slashing moves with a heavy blade were sometimes more effective than stabbing, since they cut tendons, (thus immobilising the opposition) and cause massive blood loss, all at a greater distance than stabbing.
Leftists/”progressives”/socialists are not welcome here. Pay for your own soapbox.

Jeez they,ll be banning long finger nails next,fucking idiots.
Yep. All on the way the the leftard’s Perfect World, where humans are indistinguishable from battery hens.
“Of course our people are free..they’re free to do anything that isn’t expressly forbidden.”
Erich Honeker, East Germany, speaking to John Kennedy.
What is a joke is that Doctors think banning knives will end stabbings.
How about this:
—–
“British public call for banning of Doctors to prevent medical misadventure.
For too long people have died in hospitals through medical misadventure. Some people might naturally call for the banning of hospitals, but the more thoughtful have recognised that a Doctor was involved in every single medical misadventure, and have therefore proposed to cut to the heart of the matter, so to speak”
——
Quite so. “researchers have found that hospitals don’t actually need highly trained doctors, since five doctors interviewed in Outer Mongolia stated that 99.9% of ailments could be treated using epsom salts and bandages”.
good joke …and maybe someone should remind these so called academic morons about MRSA in their own hospital..[2 cases this year..low but still present]…imagine going there for a low key surgery and ending up with that…
really puts their long knife argument into perspective:…
like …”well Mr Smith; our tireless campaigning has meant your knife wound is only shallow; but the bad news the bacteria in our filthy hospital will stuff you anyway..gee bad luck, but have a nice day”
And yet four commercial airliners were taken over by guys with box cutters.
You and I know how to deal with a knife attacker,even with out the .357
Everybody else will either get slashed and bleed out,or run the otherway.

These fuckwits won’t be happy until everyone is stripped naked ,wrapped in bubble wrap and fed baby food.
My very favourite movie scene!
I have one of those Webleys!
Lucky bastard!
In mint condition and I have dies and brass
Never bring a knife to a gun fight.
Be funny if scalpels were the first thing banned.
Can you imagine a Doctor preparing to make the incision and the police turning up and arresting them? “Put that down mate, or some-one is likely to get hurt” Perfect.
And forget that anaesthetic, mate–we’ve seen what happens when drunk yoofs huff gas.
Darin, there was something DEEPLY satisfying about that video clip. Thanks.
So, these fuckers expect me to carve my Christmas roast lamb, or smoked ham, with what … A paring knife?
Let’s be honest, there are many far more dangerous implements in my kitchen for close-quarters combat than a carving knife. My cast iron frypan upside someone’s head will cause some serious damage, for one!
Riddle me this. Is there any end of stupid tards in the world whose mission is to never miss an excuse to ban something?
My sister-in-law can kill with a lamb chop. So deadly that she is banned from cooking one.
They must have interviewed vegan chefs. Ever filet a fish? You need a long blade. Ever debone a roast? I use my long, thick chef’s knife. BTW, you can cut a throat with a very sharp razor blade or a sharp swiss army knife too.
Screwdriver?
Hedge clippers?
Sheep shears?
Tin snips?
Ice pick?
Lawn dart?
Soldering Iron?

You forgot knitting needles.
The Country Women’s Association will never be the same.
You want to see what I can do with a weed sprayer
I particularly like cook & galloways attachment for sprayers ..great crowd control..:mrgreen:
Crowd control? I though that’s what phosphorous grenades were for?
What’s this cook and galloways attachment thingy? Is it fun?
http://www.cookandgalloway.co.nz…check their products…umm ; it is not their water pressure tanks!..
I see…..
Never mind about mace and pepper spray.
If one really is Home Alone and facing a life-threatening goblin-on-the-wire problem; three words:
Aerosol Oven Cleaner.
In the words of Ralph Kramden: “Pow! Right in the kisser.”
If I had nothing but bare hands to protect my family from attack, I would use them. But why should I? Guns are more reliable and effective. Do not come to my house with trouble in mind. Simple, just come in peace and we can have a beer and a chat. If you want to kill me, for whatever reason, I reserve the right to kill you first. What is hard about that?
this is a spoof –Right!

How is it that these otherwise intelligent men can be so utterly stupid. This may surprise the pair, but mankind figured out how to make pointy weapons out of otherwise dull objects probably right about the time they discovered fire. It is breathtaking to think that this pair actually believes that selling only dull knives would somehow cut down on “knife crime.” This really is the left in their full throated, wholly unrealistic glory. Just pass enough new laws and society can be perfected.
Exactly, GW. For leftards, Utopia is always just one step further, just one or two more tweaks on the controls and man will magically become the compliant creature they dream of.
And when a particular law or regulation or prohibition doesn’t work, the problem is never with the regulation, so their solution is to do the same thing, but harder.
Dimwits are of course necessary for socialism to succeed. The problem is that the dimwits are now the majority and in charge.
But that’s just it, KG, all of this comes from people that aren’t dimwits. They are the intelligentsia, just like the two doctors. Hell, Marx and Engles were geniuses. It’s that these people think that they are so intelligent, they can reinvent, or otherwise perfect, humanity, while they have no trust in humanity itself. Want to cut down on knife crime – make sure that every possible target has the right to effective defense. But that would require trust in the populace and a loss of control – and thus, the thought never enters their totalitarian minds.
At any rate, you’re “do it harder” observation couldn’t be more spot on. To the left, perfection is but one or two new regulations away.
” But that would require trust in the populace and a loss of control – and thus, the thought never enters their totalitarian minds.”
Just so.
I take your point about those pulling the strings not being dimwits, GW. But there’s a vast army of uninformed, indoctrinated enforcers below that level.
And an otherwise intelligent person who nonetheless acts entirely in accordance with his indoctrination is in my view a dimwit.
Guns and knives don’t kill people,crazy people who push others infront of subway trains do-

some quotes from the link:
“They argued many assaults are committed impulsively, prompted by alcohol and drugs, and a kitchen knife often makes an all too available weapon.”
they will continue banning until people are living with no tools whatsoever. they’ll go after baseball bats, hockey sticks, crowbars (no changing your own tires when you get a flat tire in a bad area late at night, nope, you’ll get to sit there and wait for someone with approved equipment to come and save you), chain saws, manual saws. the question is, where do they stop???
the left wants us all living like primitives in caves but without any implements. let them show the way first, i say.
“They consulted 10 top chefs from around the UK, and found such knives have little practical value in the kitchen.”
Findalis already pointed out the flaws in this idiocy.
“None of the chefs felt such knives were essential, since the point of a short blade was just as useful when a sharp end was needed.”
i bet what they were really saying is that all the little people don’t need those sharp knives.
you notice the BBC article linked by frontpagemag doesn’t give a single name of any of the alleged doctors or chefs? let’s tie this all up with the UKs moslem problem in wondering just who the hell is wanting to further disarm what’s left of the British people?
This insanity comes from pommyland.
Where the so-called government does not officially condone the use of the word “Citizen”. The correct and approved term is “client”.
Clear now?
I remember how the left celebrated, many years ago, at the stripping of the UK police ability to stop and search. The government of the day turned the streets over to the immigrant gangs who are at the forefront of this mindless violence.The courts refuse to “punish” ,the police are all “racists” and the upshot is young people die in the ditch.
Socialist utopia.Be careful what you wish for.
