MP has solution for knife crime!!!

"There's been a stabbing"
"Quick, get me the GPS tracking for every knife in a 3 mile radius"
"OK, it says there are 120,000 of them, mostly in kitchens"
"*******s, thought we had them then"
"Could ask those young lads with the machete"
"Nah, they've got a mackerel, been fishing"

You’re not the sharpest gps tagged knife are are you?

These Bozos are meant to be amongst our brightest and best.

Says who?

The people who vote for them...?

Isn't that how we almost ended up with a research vessel called Boaty Mcboatface? (Rather than just a remote sub)

The people who vote for them...?

Scott Mann, Conservative MP for North Cornwall, has announced a guaranteed solution to knife crime:

"Every knife sold in the UK should have a gps tracker fitted in the handle. It’s time we had a national database like we do with guns. If you’re carrying it around you had better have a bloody good explanation, obvious exemptions for fishing etc."

I like the idea.

Well it may not be the most cutting-edge solution, but at least he had a stab at trying.

What if people just start stabbing each other using forks instead?
