Extremely left-wing, erstwhile UK territory justice Nic Madge wrote to the Treasury Minister, calling for a taxation of about £20 on knives with a sharp ending to thus discourage terrorists from utilizing them. The thought came from an expanding wave of knife attacks in this country.
Is Britain going to impose a taxation on knife users? The retired justice wrote an open letter to the Treasury Minister, calling him to introduce in budget taxation on sharp-cut kitchen knives. Nothing Madge advocates a taxation of about £20 on specified tools to discourage consumers (and possible terrorists) from utilizing them. He compared it to the charges on plastic bags.
In his letter he stated: "Some call for a ban on the sale of fresh pointed kitchen knives, but experienced cooks, butchers and fish sellers request them. An easier and little controversial method would be to make price differentiation. ... In case of disagreement between producers and retailers, Rachel Reeves (Treaty Minister – ed.) should impose a tax, say, of £20 on each pointed knife with a dimension of more than 3 inches, manufactured or imported into the UK."
Last week, Leanne Lucas, a yoga teacher who survived the Southport raid, joined activists, including Madge, at a conference in London on the fight against knife crime, advocated moving to knives with circular blades. justice Madge is co-founder of the Safer Knife Group – a knife-fighting organization, while Lucas launched her own Let’s Be Blunt run after an incidental in Southport promoting the same move.
At the beginning of this year, a survey conducted by the University of De Montfort showed that 10 different bluntly finished blades did not pierce cotton and denim after 1,200 stab attempts, while 2 different pointed blades – yes. – We can discuss the amount of tax, but £20 would have a minimal impact on companies: a plate of fish and chips could cost £20 in London, and that's nothing compared to the value of a lost life said Madge, Bristol Live.
Interestingly, the thought was not ridiculed, but serious consideration was given to it, both in terms of the decline in crime and the impact on the state budget.
"In the short term, this would be a very tiny step towards filling the budget gap facing Rachel Reeves. In the long term, this would reduce the number of knife injuries" – writes chroniclelive.co.uk.
OUR COMMENTS: The left as usual fights the problems that she has caused herself, in addition to further absurdities. It is very simple to remove all immigrants from the "third world" who have been brought to Britain in the last 20 years. "Diversity" did not take on – it is simply a pure utopia for which average residents pay.
