"The UK's Assault Knife Crisis".
Some of the policy suggestions in the UK have included:
- Blunting the Points on All Knives: every kitchen knife in the UK must be rounded off at the tip to prevent stabbings. Yes, that was a real policy discussed in a BBC documentary on knife crime.

I would like to see who handed these in and am betting not many tall skinny Sudanese teenagers but more likely pasty-faced Labor party staffers having their first experience in handling any type of tool.
