There is absolutely zero risk as long as you stay out of the UK. Even if you do travel to the UK, there is no practical risk for the foreseeable future.

- mytailorisrich 1y agoAnd yet we're seeing websites panicking and blocking all UK visitors... which is my point. Also, thinking that there might be a risk if you travel to the UK because your random website on the other side of the world does not comply with a specific UK law is rather overestimating your importance and the British authorities.

- harvey9 1y agoActually some idiot politician tried to blame Amazon for knife crime in the UK. Never mind that most kids can find kitchen knives (the type used in a recent crime when the politician made the statement) in the kitchen where they live.

- rpdillon 1y agoI decided to do some legwork here. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c9q7r4wpep0t https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c9q7r4wpep0t TL;DR: UK politician
- pyman 1y agoFrom what I read this politician didn't blame Amazon, she criticised the government's failure to monitor the attacker: > She says he was referred to counter-terrorism scheme Prevent three times, but his case was not referred onwards She also said that regulating the sale of large knives could help reduce stabbings, in the same way strict gun laws helped stop school shootings. Honestly, in South (and North) America, everyone's carrying a gun. I wish we were talking about knife control instead. IMO, we need to look at what countries like the UK and China are doing, where civilian gun ownership is almost completely banned.
