Honestly, does anybody even carry potato peelers in public?


Oh yes, they arrested somebody already in Scotland who had developmental issues while carrying it. Top notch British policing.

More like the UK isn't serious business, it's reached literal comedy status at its point.

I imagine someone out there has used an Xbox to bludgeon someone, that doesn't mean we need to start a campaign to get Xbox's off the street.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I imagine there is more to this story then the police just randomly deciding to arrest a guy they saw with a potato peeler.

It's usually the case when something seems as ridiculous as this.
