    Oh no I’m not allowed a murderous weapon, what a restrictive country I live in I don’t know how I cope. The day I wasn’t able to randomly kill someone who cut me off in traffic. What an utterly appalling infringement on my freedoms.

      That person is wrong anyway. We can carry a knife but there are restrictions. Some knifes are completely banned though, zombies, etc.

      I carry a 3" non-locking knife with me often. Totally legal.

        I’ve never really looked into it because I’ve never particularly felt the need to carry one around

          You can also carry knives around for work, or various other reasons. It’s not like chef’s knives are illegal, and so long as you have a valid reason for moving it from A to B it shouldn’t be a problem. Unless you start brandishing it or something.

          I know what you mean. I only carry one because when I go for a long walk I might meet some mushrooms, I carry a knife made for mushroom cutting. Prior to this I never had a need to unless it was a Stanley knife for working on stuff.

      How do you stab another driver from a car?

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
