Link: Idris Elba proposes dulling kitchen knives to curb stabbing deaths
Actor Idris Elba has suggested more action can be taken to make kitchen knives safer to reduce stabbings across the country.
The 52-year-old was speaking ahead of the release on Wednesday of Idris Elba: Our Knife Crime Crisis, a documentary which sees the Luther star spend 12 months exploring the reality of the UK’s stabbing epidemic.
Elba claimed that around 25 per cent of stabbings are perpetrated using knives commonly found at home, and “areas of innovation” could help reduce this.
“Not all kitchen knives need to have a point on them, that sounds like a crazy thing to say,” he told BBC Radio 4. “But you can still cut your food without the point on your knife, which is an innovative way to look at it.”...
Whenever there's a stabbing in the US, those on my side of the aisle will often mock the gun control crowd by calling for "common sense knife control." It appears the UK is taking me & my ilk seriously. Elba's doc is a government-funded BBC production.
Beyond parody.
