OK, we know the laws across the pond have gone off the rails. It’s nuts. This guy was already on parole for something. And somehow I don’t think he got caught primarily for the stupid potato peeler. He’s bound to have been stopped for something he did that violated his parole or he threaten someone with the peeler. As stupid as things are in the U.K., you’d be better advised to not carry anything around that might be construed as a weapon or better yet GTFO of that socialist hive.

I have never, ever considered caring a potato peeler. Why would you? Well, perhaps he lives in a country that has banned the caring of any knives… And you’re desperate for some kind of sharp object that fits in your hand. Seems to me he was at best breaking the “spirit of the if the law”. You have to remember that America is that free and special place in the world. Scotland on the other hand is so socialist it’s nearly Communist.

Can you make French fries with that thing? Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Again an instance of crap reporting or writing skills. Was he arrested because he was on bail AND had the peeler or Is it illegal to have a potato peeler in your pocket or did he just happen to have a potato peeler, and do something stupid that got him re arrested, and they are trying to establish case law regarding peelers of potato's and felons... | |||

Worse - it's a binary peeler. Peels in both directions! -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

I believe your questions were answered by the crap reporter/writer in the second sentence of the article. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "And it's time that particularly, some of our corporations learned, that when you get in bed with government, you're going to get more than a good night's sleep." - Ronald Reagan | |||
