			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From the you-got-to-be-kidding-me-department. The BBC <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/the_p_word/newsid_7852000/7852248.stm">reports</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We&#8217;re looking for anyone who is brandishing offensive weapons or blades,&#8221; Holly told Newsbeat.</p>
<p>&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Even when pictures are taken in private, though, which isn&#8217;t technically breaking the law, he says the weapons are so dangerous his officers pay a visit to the people involved</strong>.</p>
<p>&#8220;We show the parents their pictures,&#8221; he explained, &#8220;recover the weapons and make sure they know that behaviour is unacceptable.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have large <strong>kitchen knives</strong>, axes, samurai swords, <strong>baseball bats</strong>, a huge number and different type of weapons &#8211; in simple terms weapons that can kill.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>I am speechless. If you take a photo of yourself holding a knife in Glasgow and post it on the internet the police will hunt you down and explain to you that knives are dangerous.</p>

<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000FH4N0G/kitchenmage-20">$3 Plastic knife</a>: Guaranteed not to offend.</p>
<p>If William Wallace has been forced to cook food with a plastic kitchen knife he would never have had to heart to take on the British. I think it is safe to say that the Queen does not have to worry about the Scots seceding from the Kingdom.</p>
