Britain's Prime Minister Promises To Axe Ninja Swords, And X Is Having A Field
Day

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's latest promised effort to combat violent
crime has so far only resulted in him taking a virtual beating on social media.

Starmer announced via X that he was going to make good on his promise to ban
ninja swords, and critics were far from impressed.

"Knife crime is at epidemic levels and is ruining lives across Britain. As Prime
Minister, I'll crack down on sales of these lethal weapons once and for all.
When I announce a ban, you'll get a ban," Starmer posted in late January of
2024, along with an article from The Sun stating that ninja swords would be
included in such a ban.

we take it," Starmer posted on Thursday.

"This is beyond stupid. Will you ban cricket bats, sharp sticks and sharpened
hunks of metal? You need to lock up the criminals and allow the decent folks to
arm themselves against such attackers," Chris Loesch said.

Musician Zuby went straight to the heart of the matter, saying, "Maybe one day,
they will address fatherless homes, masculinity crisis, loss of faith, soft on
crime policies, unchecked mass immigration, abandoned communities, and other
pertinent stuff. But until then ."

  This is the UK version of the way the USA skirts around the gun violence
issue.

  Always targeting the individual TOOLS instead of having a serious conversation
about the state of society, and why there are so many lost, violent young men.

  Those conversations could offend people.
