Labour MP for Perry Barr in Birmingham, Khalid Mahmood, said: "Weapons like this are absolutely disgraceful and there is no reason at all why people should be walking around the streets with them.

"There should be high-profile operations and high-profile arrests against anybody caught with them. The way to tackle the wider issue of knife crime is with effective community policing, which the West Midlands force does very well.

"The Met could pick up on the lessons from West Midlands Police in its excellent community work in places like Handsworth, Aston and Lozells."

for fuck's sake. this out-viz-es viz. what a complete and utter tit.

At least some people are looking on the bright side,

"This weapon maybe put to good use against terrorists and other warmongers.

I thought we already did this? Mu memory is failing. Anyways it's supposed to be for up close with a bear, right? If you are this close to an angry bear maybe you shouldn't be out on your own.

The WASP Injector Knife is ideally used as a:
- Diving Knife
- Hunting Knife
- Tactical Knife

What is a tactical knife, he asks, fearing he already knows the answer.

Ned Trifle II, Monday, 21 July 2008 16:37 (sixteen years ago) link

omfg...

It is silent when used and highly effective in close quarters urban combat.
The WASP is ideally suited for:

* Special Ops Troops (Land or Sea)
* Downed Pilots Stranded In Open Water
or Remote Forests
* Military Survival Kits
* S.W.A.T. and Special Police
* Security Guards

SECURITY GUARDS!

And in other news, why I hate the DM distilled into one comment...

Under the headline 'English in Portimao to Protect Secrecy', the newspaper Correio da Manha claimed two Leicestershire officers tried to stop information - including results of a DNA test on a sample from the McCanns' Renault Scenic hire car - from being made public.
-------------------
If this is true there is something very dark going on, let's hope the real truth emerges soon.
Chris - I SO agree with your statement. If these DNA results are so unimportant, why the need to try and prevent the public from ever seeing this? I pray Madeleine will be found safe, but my fear has always been she died that night - if she did, she is safe now in the loving arms of God.

I hope Fox News hasn't been running any stories about Muslim nursery teachers who preach hate to our young children whilst ruining the housing market.

Bodies of the dead not being buried in echo of Winter of Discontent as effects of credit crunch spread across Britain

Apart from the fact that people receive the money after the burial and therefore bodies of the dead are being buried this story is completely true.

Is this paper like the UK's version of the National Enquirer? (not sure if that reference will cross the "" "" ""pond""")

no.

You should start a poll thread asking people to decide whether or not they think the editorial staff of the Daily Mail would actually support the assassination of Barack Obama

National Enquirer's influence has filtered into most UK tabloids and gossip mags, I think, but there isn't a directly equivalent publication

Why can't his neighbours obtain some sort of legal remedy in respect of the nuisance they have to face with the Secret Service. Surely people have a right to unfettered access and enjoyment of their own homes?

This has been a long time coming. There is a lot of help for ethnic minority children in school and for girls, but the boys have no choice but to lag. The lack of male teachers to properly discipline them, is also a worrying factor.

Love the shoe-horning in of Jonathan Ross for extra "oh noes the moral fibre of this nation is being eroded by Friday night telly" bullshit.

Brand is an out an out NuLabour supporter and by being that, she has supported the social destruction of this country.

Last night the BNP’s Simon Darby said: ‘The BNP is technically an ethnic group and, under Section 26 of the Race Relations Act, we would suggest there are grounds that an offence of incitement to commit racial harassment has been committed.’

Technically.

The Unbelievably Insensitive Baroness Vadera (Ned Trifle II), Sunday, 1 February 2009 21:33 (fifteen years ago) link

The Daily Mail on the side of right, as always.

Is it really worth siding with the BNP just to get at the BBC / Jonathan Ross / ZaNuLiArBore?

One-armed presenter is scaring children, parents tell BBC

James Mitchell, Monday, 23 February 2009 11:47 (fifteen years ago) link

That comments thread is pretty much 100% behind the presenter, incidentally.

David Bentley: Rhythm Ace (Matt DC), Monday, 23 February 2009 11:53 (fifteen years ago) link

Given that no "parents" are actually named it smells like the usual Dacre brew.

I wonder how many more "complaints" will be added to the nine which already existed before the Mail decided to stir it up because it was a Good Story and Shows The BBC In A Negative Light.

Hopefully the increasing Come-Off-It-The-Mail response may persuade Dacre that banging on with this particular dead horse isn't going to win him any more circulation figures.
