IMS, the King's Guard carries rifles with mounted bayonets and the King's Life Guards utilize swords in public ceremonies. Awfully bad example for a population implored to give up their butter knives. Will the Guards be retrofitted with wooden or plastic weapons?

What about tradesmen? Carpenters use many edged tools that could be used to lacerate. Butchers without knives is difficult to visualize. Many police and EMTs here carry knives to extricate people from jammed seat belts due to a crash. Will the Bobbies saw with their truncheons until the heat melts the belt?

What do the English people think of this nonsense?
