In the meantime, the Prime Minister of the formerly great Britain;
A murder is a result of knives, ladies and gentlemen. A crackdown on knife sales online – but not in stores because those don’t exist – will make murders disappear. If only humanity figured out faster how to make this happen.
What can one possibly conclude from these events other than that the nation-state is dead and nobody can bring it back? Besides the fact that politicians hate the English language and will torture it mercilessly, of course.

Hercules Poirot and Miss Marple would have never found such an elegant solution to the mystery.

yeah, but we have a more nuanced take on guns:
If the perp was white, then it was terrorism, or at least a person was doing the shooting, and the criminal should be removed from society for the public good.
If the perp wasn’t white, then the gun did it. It was gun violence, and terribly important that we remove the guns from society for the public good.
Does UK do the same thing with knives?
(no word yet on how trucks should be punished for terrorist acts)

Let’s outlaw murder. I’m sure that will sole the problem!

What I’d like to know is who the person, (and I use that word very loosely,) who down-voted you everyone else starting from Methylethyl.
It seriously makes me wonder how some people can even manage breathing, much less going online.

If only it were that simple…. the problem is that knives don’t stab people on their own… they need to be held by a…. hand! Hands are the real problem…
Ban hands!

And it’s a flex. Someone who grew up under communism (or fighting it) knows what I mean.
Not unique to the pinko master-class, mind you. All the best wicked rulers do it.
