British Knife Amnesty - Oh Come on!

I recall reading about the Brits making the carry of knives illegal, punishable by something along the lines of a four-year prison sentence. However, I have yet to understand how banning kitchen knives make the streets safer. Perhaps someone can enlighten me? If I am not mistaken, a rusty screwdriver can make fair amount of trouble---perhaps it looks less menacing than a serrated kitchen knife, but punture wounds and tetnus scare me much more than a Ron-Co never-dull blade!

I am mildly amused by the fact that during the period of the amnesty, the brits experienced a stabbing spree of almost 100 knife attacks! If I were British, I would feel safer already!

Look carefully into the photo - there are some steak knifes in it.

Scotland Yard is investigating a horrific apple peeling!
God Save the Queen!

I can envision a time when the almighty spork is banned as well, and a sad day that will be when they pry the ti-spork from my cold, dead hands....and I was only trying to eat some organic Wheetabix!
