It's not just the YouTube thing.There are a lot of "slight" changes and the staffing.Supporters of a "certain" party are being employed and empowered in the powerful positions of public establishments. And there's a lot of stuff goin' on. The Prime Minister has to die. He's trying to turn it into Iran. And he has a lot of supporters. Almost half of the country. So, that's it.

wow, some people have a hard time remembering the history, specially the part about extremists, the situation wasn't that bad when I was there about 8 years ago

It looks normal from the outside. But there are slight changes coming out. they seem to be unimportant, but they are going to be big, soon.

What if you're armed with a pointed stick?

...or a loaded banana?

Yeah!! Yeah!!!!! Right on!!! He's got to die!!! Erm, hang on, you're talking about Turkey, fuck, sorry, got confused. Carry on....

Only fucking great "letter-openers" like Fett's (is that a Fairbairn-Sykes Commando knife?) and the like are banned, generally because little 17y/o twats in shell-suits think they are rock-hard and keep stabbing people. I think anything over 3" is deemed an offensive weapon (Luckily my weiner is well under, even when Mistress is hanging lead weights off it). Erm, I mean any blade over 3". Like bread knives and chef's knives.
They are trying to get little Chav cunts who think they are Bruce Lee to hand in their weapons (or, if they have been watching "MTV's Gangsta Rap Bloodbath Special", or the odd episode of Oz, "dere shanks an' ting, innit")

I think my Leatherman Wave, which I wear pretty much everywhere, could be deemed an offensive weapon, depends on the cop and where they catch me. If I'm waving it around in Weatherspoons at 11pm Friday night, they tend not to believe I am just about to remove a stone from a horse's hoof. Otherwise, I could argue it's a tool of my trade, so fuck off Porky. (They would then nick me for having an offensive mouth)

Oh, and Shobet mate, he said sharp pencils, so don't worry. We all know those nice nurses with the tablet trolley only let you have crayons and fingerpaints (but only if you eat up all your mashed banana. Wibble)
