Actor Wants to Ban Knives, License Swords to Stop Stabbings

Actor Idris Elba thinks banning kitchen knives is a reasonable idea to stop the stabbings in the UK.

Uh, you could just deport them. Send them home where stabbings are a thing.

Actor Idris Elba suggests banning kitchen knives to stop the surge of stab*ings in the UK.
