  1. I hate these buzz terms, “zombie-style knife”, “assault-style rifle”. All they do is make it easier to rail against them, without addressing the root causes of issues. They’ll probably ban these “zombie-style knives”, whatever that means, and then people will just continue killing each other with other types of knives just as easily.

    “he told the court he was acting in self-defence and denied the charge of murder.” – a 12inch knife for self defense?

    “convicted of murder but found not guilty of possession of a bladed weapon at Nottingham Crown Court.” – HUH?

  3. >Majid, of Wilford Crescent in The Meadows, Nottingham, was convicted of murder but found not guilty of possession of a bladed weapon at Nottingham Crown Court.

    What?

    How can you be guilty of murdering someone with a knife, but not guilty of possessing the knife itself?
