It's... amazing. From where Great Britain used to be,

As Uncle puts it, 'Where Great Britain used to be',
And he has come up with an idea for a scheme that could be rolled out across the UK where members of the public could take their kitchen knives to be 'modified' and the points ground down into rounded ends. 
... 
'I would urge all those with any role in relation to knives - manufacturers, shops, the police, local authorities, the government - to consider preventing the sale of long pointed knives, except in rare, defined, circumstances, and replacing such knives with rounded ends,' he said.
Etc. Because those commoners can't be trusted with sharp objects, and  none of them- assuming this idiot policy came to be- would possibly think of using a grinder to put a point back on.

I suppose the ban on archery and skewers with sharp points is soon to come.
