amazon doesn't sell anything, the merchants on it did, the title is sensationalist.

Well, it's a nanny state, so you pray that a passing police officer intervenes, or you use your fists. Although knowing the UK you might get charged with assaulting the knife wielding assailant. (because he's the real victim you know.)

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

I wonder why all EU governments are so dedicated to disarming their population

 

I guess they're really afraid of a (rightful) revolution

 

Liberals tend to assume their population (probably a correct assumption) is functionally the equivalent of 5 year olds.  Take away all pointy objects etc etc.  Surprised they haven't banned scissors yet.

By saying "Stop".

 

And if that doesn't work...

Say "stop" again.

They have on planes. And anywhere where one of their important cronies lurks.

Well at least there is one weapon they can never take away

How SJW-like... (much like how cops here get charged with various cases for making a warranted arrest... or shooting an armed person who had already shot several civilians... or pretty much carrying out their duties...)

(no offense to you intended)

Swiper, no swiping

 

All Britbongs have to do is say stop and criminals who are knowingly breaking the law will.

The UK is so progressive, i sure wish i lived there where the criminals listen and obey commands.

More like their fists. As much as I make fun of the UK for being a nanny state, you do NOT want to screw with their police force. They are badasses, and they will not hesitate to beat some ass.

 

To be fair, UK criminals are apparently pansy asses.

That's true. Although they'd probably be tried themselves, knowing the UK...
