Religion Of Peace????

What’s the worse that can happen in that case? You get slapped on the legs by a big cocked Jock if he turned round too fast.

Specific reported cases include:

• Falkirk (October 2025): A man attending a family wedding was convicted after a disturbance. He pulled out his sgian-dubh, used it as an offensive weapon, and cut his own brother’s neck.
• Edinburgh (June 2011): A man used a genuine, metal sgian-dubh taken from a gift shop display case to assault a female member of staff. He held the blade to her stomach and robbed the store.

The clip shows how easy it is to fool right wingers. It’s the Christian right in America who believe owning fully auto weapons is a god given right

Indeed that’s part of their tradition to carry guns, on the same premise of culture that would be fair and equal. I will ask my mp that one.

The whole and sole reason for division in this country, is the way people are treated differently.



I believe he was carrying two knifes.

However if it’s ceremonial, then only for ceremonies should it be carried after which a locked case?

Until we treat everyone the same under the rule of UK law and not make exceptions for religions other than for ceremonies which are part of their culture.

However if we allow knifes, guns, and clothes as part of tradition then we have to also allow FGM, child marriage and so on.

All part of people’s culture.

We don’t have to go too far back to see laws changing in the UK wrt to marriage as young as 12.

Where do you draw the line on culture and historic practices which are considered inappropriate now.

Either the law applies to everyone or no one!

Now I know why they call you mad wayne.

 

[King Billy]

Welcome to Manchester!

The carrying of knives is nothing to do with Islam.

 

[King Billy]

Because thats what you do

Is that an excuse?


I nearly had my eye poked out by someone Scottish wearing a kilt.

not really right is ?

They can have a shopping basket of knifes. Theres no one around for £200 miles.
Thats an figure pulled from the air

But you align Tommy with Adolf Hitler and the Klu klux klan.

Gobbledegook

 

[King Billy]

Think we have to get away from tradition, it’s traditional for a lot of things, but many are unacceptable in the UK. That said, where do you want to draw the line as that’s what it comes down to. But you can’t have uk organisations treating people based on their identity. Only on the laws of the land, but we have laws that protect identity.

Let’s look at so good old fashioned rights, and exploit them????

More gobbledegook.

@King Billy your sources do not reflect statute. You have the words from the criminal justice act. Accept you were wrong and move on.

Currently only Sikhs and Scottish Highlanders are legally allowed to wear a knife as part of their culture.

wrong

 

[Odds]

If they insist on wearing a knife as part of their religion is there any reason why these blades have to be edged in todays culture?

If they can demonstrate that they are wearing it for religious or cultural reasons or re-enactment, they are allowed.
But I will admit that my wording was lazy.
It's not an automatic exemption.

It's in the statute that you linked to.

(4)It shall be a defence for a person charged with an offence under this section to prove that he had good reason or lawful authority for having the article with him in a public place.

You lot make everything an argument.

It’s pathetic at times.

 

[King Billy]

You lot make everything an argument.

And you lost!

 

[Koolpc]

If it's for ceremonial then they should make a law that the blades have to be made of soft rubber.

A lot of them will think Trump is doing God's work, and a fair few of them will likely think God is American.

The way world leaders and their minions use religion is both disgusting and laughable at the same time.

 

[Ivor Windybottom]

Nonsense.

I care more about the oppression of women. It's a shame that many don't.

This is the bizarre thing about the left. They spout about equality, fairness and women's rights, while aligning themselves with Islam, which is a truly backwards, oppressive culture.

Two groups of people at opposite ends of the spectrum, sharing the same umbrella while both attempting to take advantage of each other's voter base.

Then there are the obvious conflicts between women's rights and the alphabet rainbow people who think wearing a dress makes it OK for a bloke to go in a women's safe space.

Basically Labour and Green are a ragbag alliance of conflicting factions who all disagree with each other. Which is why their reaction to any issue is to just silence debate, exactly as they are doing now. Because if people talk about issues then they'll discover how much the people within the party disagree over the answers.

There's definitely a muslim knife thing. During the 2024 protests, police were recorded telling them to "put your weapons back in the mosque", another obvious example of two-tier policing that the left chose to silence debate about.
