It's targeting people who eat chicken with knives obviously, mostly upper class white people, the rest of us plebs use our fingers
knives don't even need to be sharp to stab someone though...
you could stab someone with a screw driver really easily.
is this guy a moron? how do people get elected to be judges
maybe he could ban shoes because shoelaces can cause injuries or even death

Qft.
Very common tool outside of London. Became so after the first knife crackdown.

Maybe it’s cambridge analytica’s fault they might have targeted a specific set of people to commit these crimes with knives only 
On one hand he has a very good point (though it's not his idea, anti knife crime groups have been campaigning for this for years) and it should have been done years ago.
On the other hand because it should have been done years ago there are millions of knives out there already that would still have a pointed tip even if this was made law.
Having said that this should still be made law as over time the dangerous knives would leave circulation and eventually in the (distant) future the overly dangerous ones would become harder and harder for criminals to source.

I know you're joking (well that or didn't read the article properly) but for reference, if you only have one hand it is actually easier to cut things with a spoon than a knife as you can't hold the food with a fork to saw it and for brute force slicing spoons are better than knives.

You guys seem to miss the point that knifes are now being carried by lots of others who previously were warned off them by older campaigns. The reason behind it is a status symbol, not protection. Unfortunately we know what path that mindset takes us down, so I'm more than proud of our gvt for trying this type of marketing attempted change.
Joke and laugh all you can, end of the day these poor kids are being influenced so anything we can to push them the other way is a good thing.
Nutters will still carry anything, but let's put the stigma back on it!

I see Lammy and Abbott have stuck their racist card in already. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...randing-in-chicken-shops-called-stupid-by-mps
The thing is, the only way to suggest this campaign is racist - is to enforce another stereotype that only black people like fried chicken. Them trying to play the race card here is absolutely hilarious.

Indeed.I simply acknowledged the stereotype exists!
I also pointed out it is mostly an African American stereotype.
