Can you imagine having to ensure knives were charged with electricity at all times?

Cutting edge of technology?

Well, firstly, GPS radios aren’t powered by fairy dust. While it would certainly be possible to insert a GPS radio into the handle of most knives, you would also need to insert a battery and then keep that battery charged. GPS radios go through batteries like MPs go through expenses, so in all likelihood you would need to charge your entire set of kitchen knives every night.
You can imagine the scene in your living room at 11pm every night, when you’re plugging in the bread knife next to your Samsung Galaxy. Or being dragged down to the station to explain why you didn’t keep the vegetable peeler topped up. Not to mention the National Grid being crippled by enormous power surges as everyone charges the contents of their kitchen drawer simultaneously."

This knife tracking technology is probably the same that will manage the Irish border after Brexit.

And we all know who will pay for these unworkable systems, the spiv's need all the money they can get for bribes and propping up their preferred businesses.
Like that garden bridge across Mexico or something.

Would be good, but turning up, catching, and heavily punishing those being violent with weapons would be nice.
What's the rehabilitation rate like with prisons these days? You hear plenty of stories of people going there and falling into a lifetime of crime. Does it actually help people to turn their lives around?
I mean we're not suggesting that people are locked up for 70 years, so apart from keeping dangerous people away from the rest of us, they have to serve some purpose in a rehabilitative sense don't they?

Don't know mate, but i think the deterrent for actual violent crime needs to be higher coupled with conviction rate. I see the prison system as a seperate issue.
Do deterrents deter? You look at the States and the death penalty doesn't seem to result in lower violent crime rates.
Over the past decade, about 550,000 more Britons left London than moved to it.

Every city has areas which are rough, London has plenty of nice areas. Why stereotype based on just the bad bits ? Isn't that how Liverpool got a bad rep back in ye day ?
