reminds me of the time when germany banned swords. Ah ja the Kriegsmesser...worked like a charm. If they ban knives people will be stabbed with screwdrivers. Fantastic

He wasn't referring to the U.S. military doling out collective punishment to civilian populations, i.e. burning down an entire village because one dumb bastard shot an American soldier from an attic window. _That_ is against the Geneva Convention (there's no 'Goneva' convention, last time I checked), under the general concept of not directly targetting civilians.

Wrap a 50 pound fishing line around your head and hide it in your hair. Now you have a garrot or noose anytime all the time. Works better with longer hair. Figured this out when i was watching an episode on ncis when the serial killer commited suicide with a plastic bag he had in his pocket. I was like oh there are weapons you would not expect and cant really catch.
After watching this video i've thought about it for a bit and came up with a solution. It'd be great if someone with ties to the goverment could relay this idea to someone in charge Make murder illegal. This should solve not only the knife violence, but even other weapons. Also, it's a very cheap and efficient solution.
The only place I would respect such a sign is where they have a safe to store the weapons. Otherwise it's negligence, according to law. The sign is not binding, the law is.
You bring up a very good point, always follow the money, especially when its something absurd like this. Honestly does he have stock in a tech/satellite/GPS company?
Let's be realistic. The surge in knife crime is a result of stricter firearms laws. If stricter knife laws are passed, then some other weapon will gain popularity. It's like playing whack-a-mole. As mentioned in the video, the weapon isn't the source of the problem. The will to commit violence against another human is the problem. That said, putting GPS trackers in knives is ridiculous on many levels. It reminds me of something an 8-year-old would think up.
Very true, the key issue is the cuts in communities, with nothing to do and all amenities taken away then what else are kids going to do? A non present police force and 0 feeling of community is just inviting gang violence
a fairly effective game of whack a mole, as the moles become weaker and weaker every strike. i have no issue when people will be left nothing but fruits to assault me with.
Knife attacks are generally quicker and less predictable than gun attacks. Knives are much easier to conceal and draw than guns. If you watch any video of a knife attacks it's very quick. Also gun crime is increasing in the UK along with knife crime. Also most criminals who face armed resistance run away because they do not want to get caught/killed. If you watch active self protection you can see how events go down it's not like a movie at all.
@@MetalheadMitch762 Very true, and death by knife is terrible, I would prefer I die quicker by Gun. These people don't know what they wish for! You can defend your self with a gun.
The immediate problems of this: - Data processing; who and how is this barrage of 99% harmless data going to do what now? - There are just thousands of knives already out there, and you can sharpen a knife, you don't just buy a new one each week. Circulation of monitored knives, adn the fact you cannot be sure if they are properly disposed of... well, good luck. - What about screwdrivers, hammers, etc? Where does the definition begin and end? - What is the durability and life expectance of the trackers? - Okay, so... HOW would the tracker know if it's been disconnected? Say you buy a knife and throw it into the trash. This action is indistinguishable from discarding JUST THE TRACKER unless the UK gov is checking all the garbage and receipts. - What's the coverage? Can it be jammed? Are you responsible if the tracker breaks because of a faulty handle allowing fluids to damage it? Are you legally allowed to own an knife with a broken tracker, or is this like car insurance? Can the cops enter your house on suspicion of untracked knives? Are you allowed to carry a knife into an area where the devices cannot broadcast? There's... so many flaws, and nothing is actually SOLVED. At best, you end up with a "This knife is linked to this person" like with verified gun purchases, but you can't pre-crime a stabbing by tracking them. If only because the delay between figuring out the anomaly and sending over the cops is MASSIVE compared to how long it takes for a stabbing to do its damage. At best, this can tell the gov where and how knives 'flow', but what useful information can really be gathered from it? Or possibly just easy scanning. "Hey, beeper says he got a knife." or something cops can use? Basically, it's stopping a flood by putting water detectors all over the valley. Good job. We now know we have water. What else is new?
It's like gun control, it's to say "look we did a thing because we care" 🙄 sadly almost half of most populations are okay with this because it "feels good" and never actually think it through.
Sapphire Crook Your last example of using large numbers of water detectors to fight floods is actually how tsunami warning systems work. They detect the water levels in the ocean (not at the shore), then a computer detects specifically problematic movement patterns and raises evacuation alarms at likely points of impact. Maybe knife trackers (useless against stabbings) can be used to detect amassing of knives for "undesired" purposes (unlawful food production?, making banned musical instruments? Tree hugging protests?).
@@TengrioftheCrimsonSky Oh yes indeed. And now we are seeing professionally produced black market firearms. I don't think it will be long before we start seeing automatic rifles being produced.

Making a functional firearm is possible and requires nothing more than a lot of conviction to do so and knowledge of how one works. Making a functional knife out of pressed aluminum foil takes about an hour.
Sadly the same thing is happening in the USA with guns my poor American eyes are tearing up because of people that are anti-gun wanting to take away a fundamental right and it's the same thing I've been saying for years we don't have a gun / knife problem we have a people problem sadly we don't have any politicians working on that
It's much easier to place laws on non-sentient objects than deal with the very real issues causing this problem. I think we can strike off "poverty" as the cause of these problems. It's an excuse for crime, not a cause of it. Young men need purpose. If they are smart enough, they need education, more than young women do, if not, they need a start in the workforce developing a hands on skills and they need stable families, with real fathers and the ability to make stable families of their own. Basically, the way you fix crime is you give young men something they value, that they can loose. Laws only matter to people with something to loose.
Jesus Christ Denton and make the law to wear that gear every time you are not home and alone. And declare those who don’t wear protective gear to be the problem. Boom! Problem is solved, victims are now criminals, no need to do anything else.
Dds214 not anymore. It was a practice in the Middle Ages to not only decapitate a commoner who assaulted a noble, but also to punish the weapon itself by braking it.
"This just in: UK politician says in addition to fitting knives with GPS tracker, a mandatory tiny camera will also be fitted into every knife. 'Well, at least we will know exactly where the knife is at all times, and also who is holding it.

Politicians aren't stupid, they know what they're doing. They've come up with this "solution" it's far cheaper than replacing the experienced police officers that have been let go during the Tories' austerity program. I'm certain that they know that it won't do anything; but it is a faaaar easier way to maintain appearance than implementing any meaningful policy.
Also, I think that it is rather counterintuitive to mock these false distractions rather than to address problems regarding the austerity program, as they draw attention from the true cause; as lacklustre as it may be. As a long term viewer, I'm disappointed that people in the comments have not taken their due diligence in at least researching and including the causes of the knife crime rise (such as cuts to policing, education and youth services). Yes mockery can entertain, but it is taking the bait of distraction right from the politicians' hands.
It is stupid the GPS thing but I do agree that Brexit is a good thing. Also down with big government, also it is completely illogical to blame the object for the killing.
When you said GPS TRACKER in handles..my brain seized up... They do realize all you have to do is take a small piece of metal sharpen it and put a point on it?? Its not rocket science!!..but then again the idea came from a politician...
Politicians are generally experts in getting elected. Once they get there they've moved beyond their area of expertise into leadership. I do understand the desire for the government to do something about a problem. Unfortunately people fixate on objects and what look like simple solutions on the surface. The big problem is that people are complicated beasts. No simple solution exists, and any lasting solution is going to require understanding the people involved. Even more difficult is coming up with something that doesn't severely limit individual liberty of people who would never cause harm.
Assuming your magic Thanos snap; yes, knife crime might genuinely decrease as a direct result of the traceability. You know what else'll happen? People who carry a knife on the regular will, instead, carry a screwdriver. Or a bradawl. Or anything else that is no more illegal to carry than a kitchen knife, and just as stabby.
They should put trackers in people, not knives. You can even have it run off body heat and motion, located in a spot determined randomly so people have a harder time finding and puling it out. Utopia, achieved. pft.
Unfortunately for your plan you seem to forget you would have to do this without them resisting and then find a way to hide obvious scar tissue. we need to implant the tracker in the fetus itself obviously random location and unnoticeable.
We've already started doing that in some jurisdictions. Along with in-home surveillance cameras and frequent contraband searches to homes and vehicles.
I feel free stab vests is much more cost effective than embedding a chip in a dozen knives per household in the UK alongside the satelite tracking needed. And would generally be more effective.
Ye, I forget my history but I think your conservatives came about from our radicals at the time, so I guess it makes sense that our conservatives would behave differently to yours.

GPS tracker in every knife? Do scissors count as 2 knives? Also, this would be a huge boon for battery manufacturers. I would expect an AA battery to last less than a day of constant usage for transmitting coordinates. The device would have to be very small to fit into any knife handle (I have seen some small knives.), so that means very small batteries. And the criminal could just refuse to change his batteries.
but wait for the gps tracker to work the knife would have to be re-charged so the thing could transmit it's tracking signal or whatever, so just, not charging it up would defeat this measure, and furthermore, you can just remove the blade from the handle, tang and all, and fit it into like, some sanded down wood pieces or whatever... there's a guy on youtube who makes knives out of anything and they're sharp enough to do damage, and he's made some really stupid ones made from like milk or cheese or whatever. it's like holy fuck, this politician should NOT be allowed to have any input into the way laws are passed after making this kind of statement.
This is where "reasonable gun control" ends up. One good thing about the UK being so loony is that we can always point to them when someone says the fear of a slippery slope is exaggerated.
I kinda of like to see Skall rant openly about these kind of problems. It feels like you're down at the bar talking with one of your friends about something you saw on the newspaper and said friend start going about it while you just sit there and sip your beverage thinking about it.

The invention of the Kriegsmesser had most likely nothing to do with banned sowrds at all (since there were about 2 instances in medieval Germany of swords being banned; in a lot german cities, people were required by the law to be armed with a sword).

Just came into my mind. If this politician has some connections with tracking equipment business then I can see the point ;)
You bring up a very good point, always follow the money, especially when its something absurd like this. Honestly does he have stock in a tech/satellite/GPS company?
Let's be realistic. The surge in knife crime is a result of stricter firearms laws. If stricter knife laws are passed, then some other weapon will gain popularity. It's like playing whack-a-mole. As mentioned in the video, the weapon isn't the source of the problem. The will to commit violence against another human is the problem.
That said, putting GPS trackers in knives is ridiculous on many levels. It reminds me of something an 8-year-old would think up.
Very true, the key issue is the cuts in communities, with nothing to do and all amenities taken away then what else are kids going to do? A non present police force and 0 feeling of community is just inviting gang violence

Knife attacks are generally quicker and less predictable than gun attacks. Knives are much easier to conceal and draw than guns. If you watch any video of a knife attacks it's very quick.

There problems will be shared
The immediate problems of this:
- Data processing; who and how is this barrage of 99% harmless data going to do what now?
- There are just thousands of knives already out there, and you can sharpen a knife, you don't just buy a new one each week. Circulation of monitored knives, adn the fact you cannot be sure if they are properly disposed of... well, good luck.
- What about screwdrivers, hammers, etc? Where does the definition begin and end?
- What is the durability and life expectance of the trackers?
- Okay, so... HOW would the tracker know if it's been disconnected? Say you buy a knife and throw it into the trash. This action is indistinguishable from discarding JUST THE TRACKER unless the UK gov is checking all the garbage and receipts.
- What's the coverage? Can it be jammed? Are you responsible if the tracker breaks because of a faulty handle allowing fluids to damage it? Are you legally allowed to own an knife with a broken tracker, or is this like car insurance? Can the cops enter your house on suspicion of untracked knives? Are you allowed to carry a knife into an area where the devices cannot broadcast?
There's... so many flaws, and nothing is actually SOLVED. At best, you end up with a "This knife is linked to this person" like with verified gun purchases, but you can't pre-crime a stabbing by tracking them. If only because the delay between figuring out the anomaly and sending over the cops is MASSIVE compared to how long it takes for a stabbing to do its damage.
At best, this can tell the gov where and how knives 'flow', but what useful information can really be gathered from it?
Or possibly just easy scanning. "Hey, beeper says he got a knife." or something cops can use?
Basically, it's stopping a flood by putting water detectors all over the valley. Good job. We now know we have water.

It's like gun control, it's to say "look we did a thing because we care" 🙄 sadly almost half of most populations are okay with this because it "feels good" and never actually think it through.
Sapphire Crook Your last example of using large numbers of water detectors to fight floods is actually how tsunami warning systems work. They detect the water levels in the ocean (not at the shore), then a computer detects specifically problematic movement patterns and raises evacuation alarms at likely points of impact. Maybe knife trackers (useless against stabbings) can be used to detect amassing of knives for "undesired" purposes (unlawful food production?, making banned musical instruments? Tree hugging protests?).

Missouri is unbanning a lot of federal bans on guns
It's much easier to place laws on non-sentient objects than deal with the very real issues causing this problem.
I think we can strike off "poverty" as the cause of these problems. It's an excuse for crime, not a cause of it. Young men need purpose. If they are smart enough, they need education, more than young women do, if not, they need a start in the workforce developing a hands on skills and they need stable families, with real fathers and the ability to make stable families of their own. Basically, the way you fix crime is you give young men something they value, that they can loose. Laws only matter to people with something to loose.

Politicians aren't stupid, they know what they're doing. They've come up with this "solution" it's far cheaper than replacing the experienced police officers that have been let go during the Tories' austerity program. I'm certain that they know that it won't do anything; but it is a faaaar easier way to maintain appearance than implementing any meaningful policy.
Also, I think that it is rather counterintuitive to mock these false distractions rather than to address problems regarding the austerity program, as they draw attention from the true cause; as lacklustre as it may be. As a long term viewer, I'm disappointed that people in the comments have not taken their due diligence in at least researching and including the causes of the knife crime rise (such as cuts to policing, education and youth services). Yes mockery can entertain, but it is taking the bait of distraction right from the politicians' hands.

Excuse me while I go recharge the battery in the knife handle for the GPS tracker. Got to make sure I can be tracked before committing crimes.
Assuming your magic Thanos snap; yes, knife crime might genuinely decrease as a direct result of the traceability. You know what else'll happen? People who carry a knife on the regular will, instead, carry a screwdriver. Or a bradawl. Or anything else that is no more illegal to carry than a kitchen knife, and just as stabby.
They should put trackers in people, not knives. You can even have it run off body heat and motion, located in a spot determined randomly so people have a harder time finding and puling it out.
Utopia, achieved.
pft.
Unfortunately for your plan you seem to forget you would have to do this without them resisting and then find a way to hide obvious scar tissue. we need to implant the tracker in the fetus itself obviously random location and unnoticeable.

Also, this would be a huge boon for battery manufacturers. I would expect an AA battery to last less than a day of constant usage for transmitting coordinates. The device would have to be very small to fit into any knife handle (I have seen some small knives.), so that means very small batteries. And the criminal could just refuse to change his batteries.
