it's hard to feel sympathetic for the majority of knife crime victims

because they brought it on themselves

So you are supposed to bring fists to a knife fight? 🤔

I'm pretty sure in London walking on a crowded and well lit road is still going led to you being stabbed

the people getting stabbed are predominantly rival gang members and shit

Like those two 17yo kids last week?

that's why there's a panic now - suddenly, it could be anybody that gets stabbed - it was fine so long as it was only deprived neighbourhoods.

This might be from 2017, but gems like this never get old...

is it illegal in the UK to own 3a body armor?

don't think so as you can buy in the UK

Probably

Yes it's illegal

was about to say, they could issue high-visibility yellow 3a body armor to everyone and force the citizens to wear it

In the European Union, ballistic protection that is considered 'for main military usage' is forbidden to civilians.

like a bulletproof yellowvest

That said, it's perfectly legal to purchase and own in the UK

...you just can't wear it, LOL

what the

cant give the police an unfair disadvantage when they wants to shoot you

like owning a full auto trigger in the US - you could own it, you just can't install it

yeah, even taser

if I were in the UK I'd buy a vest and any other gun-related parts that were legal to own on their own (but not assemble) and keep them buried in the yard or under the basement or something

true, then if/when the SHTF then you've at least got something

Can I wear body armour in bed?

😄

Norway the government says, as long you are not doing any illegal we don't care as long as you did pay the vat for it

@Jabba right, that's the idea

maybe you put it on/assemble it once just to understand how to and what to do etc - but after that just stow it in the basement

only problem would be if they banned it outright and then you're stuck - you'd need to store it in a place that gives you plausible deniability

Have you guys read Macron's speech on the need for another European renaissance?

It's pretty good

for u

europe is dying a slow death

only good thing Macron can say now is that he is resigning and doing like napoleon and leaves France in exile

but napoleon was forced into exile by foreign powers.....

he wants a EU minimum wage but that will be adjusted by what country you are in <:what:382980756139409409>

minimum wage do not work as it will always bee eaten up by the market

if I force everyone to have a minimum wage the money will not pop out of thin air. it have to come from somewhere so I will increase the prices on my goods and poff the minimum wage is already gone or if I cant rise the price anymore well someone have to learn to stand in the unemployment line tomorrow

if everyone makes a minimum amount of money, that should also put upward pressure on prices at the lower end of the economy
