"Madam we can see on our KNIFETRACKER™ that you have a knife and ARE NOT fishing at all"
"How did you get in my kitchen"
"We'll be asking the questions here"
"I'm making a sandwich"
"So you're NOT fishing. Arrest this thug" https://t.co/5mjtyjUQj9— TechnicallyRon (@TechnicallyRon) March 14, 2019

I don’t think the main problem with stabbings is not knowing where the knife is.

So many questions, so little time.
– Which retailers are selling machetes?
– Who is paying for the GPS devices on my butter knives?
– How do you propose to stop criminals removing the GPS devices from their knives?
– How do you justify your salary of £79,468?— Will (@WMcHBg) March 14, 2019

Weirdly this would sort-of-work, because knives would cost about £500-a-piece, at a minimum.
Unless…unless some sort of black market in knives *without* hugely expensive trackers emerged. But surely it wouldn’t, right? https://t.co/YZ4hQ2Ea4L

Better idea: A police helicopter to follow every knife. https://t.co/4KHoT6jyis

To conclude …
I thought this was a surrealist comedian, it’s actually a Conservative MP https://t.co/Tuty9poli8
