Given the way England is now, maybe this dipshit is the perfect choice to play James Bond.

He is certainly innovative with this delusional suggestion. When this doesn’t work will he want steel banned? I mean, that would be so much easier than just deporting all of the third world terrorists who are committing all of these crimes.

The truth is that kitchen knives are perhaps 25% of the knives used in most of the terrible crimes.

Maybe the maths is simply too hard for Idris. Because what immediately caught my attention was the 75 PERCENT used in stabbings werent kitchen related

So eliminating that 25%, only makes room for the inevitable 100% non-kitchen related cutlery stabbings

People against weapons of any kind really need to understand that a bad person will do whatever with whatever they have to harm you. You can ban knives and somebitches will start carrying around rocks.

If the UK keeps importing a culture that practices stoning, they won't need knives.

What then, ban things like hammers, baseball bats, and sticks? Perhaps also ban rocks?



Put people in camps for their own safety


Then when everyone is running around naked because everything is banned, finally ban breathing because someone might just beat another with their bare hands.

According to IMDb, the documentary, “explores the reality of knife crime in the UK, meeting offenders, families, youth workers, and police to understand this crime and find solutions, including discussions with Keir Starmer and King Charles.”


I noticed that "victims" wasn't one of the groups he talked to.

These are not serious people and they deserve every bit of the mocking and derision that they receive.

Yes, Idris, the only common thread with all of these instances, and therefore the "cause" to be fixed...is knives. No need to look beyond that

The solution is already obvious to everyone but these nut jobs.

We all know this, but acknowledging that would force them to examine WHO is committing the crimes and WHY they're committing them. An inconvenient truth, of sorts.

They don't even want the natives to have knives to defend themselves when the big 'revolution' comes.

Brits need to revolt, but they won't. Over a century of erosive media opium is just too strong.

Give them all plastic sporks. Wait, plastic can be sharpened. Rubber sporks. Then you need to change out the toothbrush material because they can be sharpened.

OR, and hear me out, actually punish or jail people who commit the freaking crimes. And make the punishment such that it deters committing the crime.

I like Idris as an actor, but dog, if someone wants to stab someone else, they don't need a knife. Hasn't he played a prisoner before?
